Fixture工装
A fixture is a workholding device that locates, supports, and clamps a workpiece during machining, welding, inspection, or assembly, but does not usually guide the cutting tool. Setup instructions, CNC programs, quality inspection plans, and tooling databases rely on accurate rendering of clamping and locating details when this term appears in tables, drawings, or offset fields.

Where this term appears
Fixture appears in CNC setup documentation, clamping diagrams, quality inspection instructions, and tooling inventory records. Translators must handle phrases such as fixture offset, clamping force, and datum surface, often in short table cells or annotated drawings where space is limited. In some languages, borrowing an English term is common, but glossaries should prevent mixed usage.
Translation checks
A common error is translating fixture as 'clamp' or 'device' in a way that loses its locating function. Another is failing to distinguish fixture offset from work offset in CNC documentation, which can lead to incorrect machine setup. Inconsistency in tooling labels also creates confusion across service and maintenance documents.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
