DIN 4000-191

Standards & Data Formats

Tabular layouts for clamping elements and related components

Overview

DIN 4000-191 standardizes clamping elements used in fixtures: it defines element orientation, groups designs via a picture-code (BLD), describes them with a property list, and references interface coding (DIN 4000-95) and assembly coordinate systems (DIN 4003).

Advantages

  • Consistent semantics for clamping elements improve fixture assembly definitions, searchability, and CAM/CMM setup flows

Considerations

  • Code/picture alignment must be maintained during DIN ↔ ISO harmonization to avoid mapping drift in libraries and exchange containers

Integration with StOB
DIN 4000-191 is fully supported within the StOB framework, enabling seamless integration with modern CAM systems and data management platforms. Our implementation provides enhanced compatibility and extended functionality for manufacturing workflows.
