ABSTRACT STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This project aims to solve a common manufacturing
problem in many workshops in North Lima, which is
the fastening of mechanical or wooden parts in a
stable way for the different processes that are carried
out within these workshops, so the solution is The
clamping so that a tightening is generated at the
vertical and horizontal ends, as well as they are
adjustable and adapts to any type of cylindrical
piece.
In carpentry mechanics workshops, lathes, etc.
Clamping tools or devices are used such as vise,
precision presses, precision walrus, among others
whose function is to hold work items.
The clamping devices will keep the workpiece in a
specific place while the person performs a machining
operation. Clamping devices vary from devices such
as chucks for specialized accessories created by a
tool designer.

Most of these tools are composed of a part fixed on

The beginning of any design implies the assumption
of economic feasibility in the elaboration of a solution

The device will be selected based on working

screw, between which it holds the workpiece

Due to the complexity of these, in many workshops
they are not used properly and tend to have
excessive wear both the tool and the material to be
executed.

RESULTS
The device was tested in the workshop and it was
observed that the reinforcements exerted by the jaws
have a better distribution than similar clamping
mechanisms (vise, precision wallets, clamping
presses, among others).
The operation of this device is vertical, due to the
forces exerted and the location of the jaws.
Being a mechanical device saves energy in the
workshops, compared to other devices.
The device emits a minimum level of noise when it is
in operation.
The fixation of the device was improved by a 17mm
base extension, which allows the device to be
installed on a flat surface.
CONCLUSIONS
The relief of the surface of the jaws influences the
effectiveness of the clamping.
The final assembly of the jaws allows them to be
interchangeable with knurled flat jaws that allow to
hold square pieces.
The ALLEN bolt facilitates the assembly of the
device thanks to its simple adjustment and
mismatch.
