It was
jointly developed by Mitutoyo Co., Ltd. and Sasaki Koki Inc. which
received a patent license from Mitutoyo Co., Ltd. (Kawasaki City,
Kanagawa Prefecture), a manufacturer of precision measuring equipment.
Furthermore, a joint patent application has been filed between the
two companies for this product.
[Patent No. 4616563] [Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-042420]
<What
is Air-fix？>
A vacuum
suction type fixture that can fix the work at any position on a
coordinate measuring machine or stone surface plate. It is firmly
adsorbed on the surface plate just by supplying compressed air.
Adsorption to stone surface plates and ceramic surface plates, which
is not possible with magnet jigs, is possible. Even during suction,
it can be easily moved and attached by simply pressing the exhaust
port with your fingers.
<Use>
① Instead
of Eco-fix baseplate (no need for baseplate)
② For positioning and abutting of workpieces
③ Can be used for workpiece fixation using clamping tools
④ For the dial gauge stand
⑤ For holding a large work that protrudes from the Eco-fix base
plate
⑥ For the base of the magnet stand
※Eco-fix
is a clamping tool of Mitutoyo
Co., Ltd. By combining each element like a block toys, it is a clamping
system that can easily fix various measurement objects

【Positioning of workpiece】If
you decide the position to hit in advance and set it, you can improve
the efficiency of inspection of mass-produced products just by exchanging
the workpiece.
|
【Fixing
a work with a flat surface】Easily fix and position workpieces
with a flat bottom.
|
【Fixing
workpieces with few surfaces to hold】There is no problem
even if there is only a place to fix the end face of the
work.
|
|
【Fixing large
workpieces】Workpieces
that do not rest on the Eco-fix base plate can also be easily
fixed using spring clips. It is also effective for reverse
engineering.
|
【Fixing
a workpiece with a curved surface】Easily fix workpieces
with curved surfaces that are difficult to position.
|
|
【Fixing
measuring instruments】Quickly
fix the dial gauge, etc. that you want to fix to the stone
surface plate together with the magnet stand
|
【Fixing
large workpieces】Workpieces that do not rest on the Eco-fix
base plate can be easily fixed using spring clips.

＜F.A.Q.Frequently
Asked Questions＞
Q1. How many millimeters
are the screw holes that stand up the columns on the top of the
Air-fix body?
A1. It is a coarse screw of M6 x P1.0. An optional (paid) conversion
adapter to M8 screws is also available.
Q2. How can a vacuum
be created with the compressed air of an air compressor?
A2. The Air-fix 22B1 main unit has a built-in small vacuum generator
called an ejector. Air is supplied from the ejector supply port
and air is discharged from the exhaust port to create an air flow.
Air-fix 22B1 There is a groove in the air reservoir at the bottom
of the main body, and the air in it is put on the air flow created
by the ejector and discharged to create a vacuum.
Common precautions
for vacuum system equipment

Warning
|
1
|
If
the adsorbent (workpiece) falls and is considered dangerous,
take safety measures by taking fall prevention measures. |
|
2
|
Do not use the vacuum circuit side where pressure of 0.1Mpa
or more is constantly applied. Vacuum equipment does not have
an explosion-proof structure, so there is a risk of damage to
the main unit. |
|
3
|
Please
be careful about the decrease in vacuum pressure due to troubles
in the supply air and supply power supply. Take safety measures
as there is a risk that the adsorbed material will fall due
to the decrease in adsorption power. |
|
4
|
When
two or more pads are connected to one ejector in a vacuum circuit,
if one pad causes adsorption failure (leakage), there is a risk
that the other pads will come off due to a drop in vacuum pressure. |
|
5
|
Do
not use it to block the exhaust port of the ejector or increase
the exhaust resistance. It may not generate a vacuum or cause
a decrease in vacuum pressure. |
|
6
|
Do
not use in an atmosphere of corrosive gas, flammable gas, explosive
gas, chemicals, seawater, water vapor or where it adheres. Also,
never inhale. |
|
7
|
Please
attach a protective cover in places exposed to sunlight. |
|
8
|
Perform
regular maintenance and inspection of the silencer element of
the ejector and the filter element of the vacuum filter. Clogged
elements may cause performance degradation or trouble. |
|
9
|
When
replacing the element, make sure you understand the vacuum ejector
replacement element well. |
|
10
|
Check
each port of the ejector by checking the text and the display
on the main body, and perform piping. Incorrect piping may cause
damage to the main unit. |
|
11
|
For
the ejector supply air, remove drains and dust and use clean
air. Also, do not refuel with a lubricator. Impurities and oil
contained in compressed air may cause malfunction and performance
deterioration. |
|
12
|
Do not give strong tensile force or extreme bending to the lead
wire. It may cause disconnection. |
|
13
|
If
the product has a locknut, be sure to tighten it by hand without
using a tool. If tightened with a tool, it may cause damage
to the locknut or the main body. Also, if it cannot be tightened
securely, the locknut may loosen and the initial setting may
be incorrect. |
|
14
|
Do
not forcibly swing or rotate the product whose resin body rotates.
It may cause damage or leakage of the main body. |
