Pliers: Such as flat-nose pliers, curved-nose pliers, self-locking pliers, etc., used for clamping and fastening workpieces.

Fixture table: Typically made of metal, used to hold and position multiple workpieces for machining and assembly operations.

Fixture chuck: Used to fix the workpiece on the machine tool, such as milling, drilling, cutting and other processing operations.

Locating pins and holes: Used to accurately position workpieces to ensure accuracy and consistency in processing or assembly.

Mold: Common molds include plastic injection molds, die-casting molds, stamping molds, etc., which are used to mass produce workpieces of the same shape.

Guide rails and sliders: Used to achieve smooth movement and positioning during operation.
