In machining, rectangular workpieces or special-shaped workpieces are often encountered. For the processing of rectangular workpieces, if a four-jaw chuck is used for clamping, the adjustment is time-consuming, the positioning accuracy is low, and a high level of lathe technology is required. If a V-shaped vise is used to position the clamping mechanism, the attachments are complicated and manufacturing is difficult. For special-shaped workpieces, such as designing special fixtures, there are many processes, long time, low efficiency, high cost, manufacturing and assembly accuracy are limited by certain conditions, and special fixtures lack versatility. As one of the most basic and common fixture types in machining, the three-claw chuck moves equally radially when clamping the workpiece. Therefore, the three-claw chuck is used to clamp the workpiece. The clamping part is generally a cylindrical surface or a flat surface. But if the workpiece does not have a suitable surface for clamping by the claw, how to clamp it? From a simple attachment for clamping square materials with a rectangular cross-section, to a special clamp design for clamping blanks with irregular cross-sections, to a modified three-jaw chuck (soft jaw) for processing special shapes
