The L-shaped multifunctional square box is used for height positioning or platform expansion and positioning or clamping of other accessories. It is a component that positions the support on the platform to ensure that the workpiece reaches a certain height requirement during the processing.
The L-shaped multifunctional square box is a cornerstone component in modern modular fixturing, particularly vital for operations involving 2D and 3D welding tables, assembly jigs, and inspection setups. Recognizable by its distinct right-angle (L) shape combined with precisely machined square surfaces, this tool offers exceptional versatility for establishing accurate 90-degree references, providing stable support, and facilitating secure clamping in complex fabrication tasks.
This component, often referred to as an angle clamping block or fixture angle block, is essentially a high-precision block engineered into a right-angle form. Crafted typically from robust steel, it features multiple flat, square faces finished to exacting tolerances for flatness, parallelism, and perpendicularity (squareness). Many variants incorporate system holes (such as D16 or D28 patterns) on multiple faces, allowing seamless integration with modular tooling systems and enabling secure mounting using standard bolts and accessories. It serves as a fundamental modular tooling component for building reliable fixtures.
Quality L-shaped multifunctional square boxes are defined by several critical attributes:
The “multifunctional” nature provides significant benefits:
These L-shaped blocks are widely used in:
1. Economic benefits of flexible welding fixtures Flexible clamping tools are fixtures that can be freely combined and adapted to different workpiece shapes. Several sets of tooling and fixture systems can replace a large number of high-cost one-to-one tool fixtures. Using this flexible tooling can save time and effort due to product changes, as well as the cost and time spent on one-to-one fixtures. Its economic benefits are particularly significant in the production of multiple, multi-standard and personalized cars. Data show that the cost of more than 9 sets of one-to-one welding fixtures (5 to 6 sets in our country) exceeds the cost of one flexible fixture tool. At present, my country’s automobile manufacturing companies add dozens of sets of one-to-one welding fixtures every year. The economic benefits of choosing flexible fixtures are clear.
2. Flexibility of flexible welding fixtures The flexible combination tool platform can be combined in three-dimensional space. The standardized and modular fixture system reflects its universal functions in installing, adjusting and tightening workpieces. This feature is particularly prominent in the welding of large workpieces. On the other hand, flexibility is also reflected in the ease of operation and can be operated by fools. On the tool platform and standard modules, all multiple sizes of 12.5mm and 25mm can be found directly, and through a small number of labels, they can be positioned very conveniently and accurately.
3. Features of flexible welding fixture All modules of the flexible combination fixture have high processing accuracy. The position error of the working platform confirmation hole is ±0.1mm within 2000mm, which can meet the needs of welding processing. During assembly or welding, blocks, connecting blocks, fixtures and support blocks can be used to position the workpiece. The workpiece that needs to be assembled or welded can be stably fixed at each positioning point or positioned. If the geometric dimensions of the workpiece itself are inaccurate, it can be quickly detected and cancelled during the initial processing.
4. Repeatability of flexible welding fixture All modules of the flexible clamp use CAD and Pro/E design system, which can easily simulate and assemble sample parts. The precise module size can protect the assembly accuracy.
5. Practicality of flexible fixtures When designing the fixture platform and module structure, the requirements of rigidity and strength are fully considered. Each standard 2000mm×000mm working platform has a load capacity of up to 10t and can protect its repeated positioning and clamping accuracy. The surface of the fixture platform and module is treated, and the spatter generated during welding will not easily stick to its working surface. The surface of the positioning parts, support parts and locking pins is quenched to make them wear-resistant and high-quality.
Choosing the right component involves considering:
| Function | L-shaped Multifunctional Square Box | Solid Square Block |
|---|---|---|
| Internal 90° Reference | Yes (Primary function) | Limited (Requires two blocks or complex setup) |
| External 90° Reference | Yes | Yes (All corners) |
| Support/Riser | Yes (Stable base) | Yes (Very stable) |
| Through Clamping Access | Potential clearance depending on design | No (Solid) |
| Versatility in Fixture Building | High (Specifically for angles) | Moderate (Primarily for support/spacing) |
The L-shaped multifunctional square box is an indispensable tool for achieving accurate right angles and providing versatile support within modular fixturing systems. Its robust construction, precision machining, and inherent L-shape make it a critical asset for improving the quality, speed, and repeatability of welding, assembly, and inspection processes. By leveraging its capabilities effectively, fabricators can ensure greater accuracy and efficiency in their work.
It is the basic platform of flexible combined tooling, and its function is to support the workpiece being processed and positioning fixtures, clamping fixtures, calibration fixtures, etc.

The 0-225° angle gauge is used for height positioning or platform expansion and positioning or clamping of other accessories. It is a component that positions the support on the platform to ensure that the workpiece reaches a certain height requirement during the processing. The angle gauge is mainly used for positioning and supporting angled workpieces. The angle gauge can continuously adjust any angle between 0° and 180°. The reading is read from the side disc scale. When the required angle is adjusted, tighten the clamping screws on the side. There are system holes and slots on the two angle arms, and other positioning fixture modules can be connected in the holes and slots for positioning or clamping.
