Transverse clamping method

The invention relates to the technical field of workpiece clamping, in particular to a transverse clamping method, and aims to solve the problem that an existing clamping method needs a large operation space. In order to achieve the purpose, the transverse clamping method is used for installing a workpiece table to a clamping mechanism of a feeding unit of the wire cutting machine, a clamping part is arranged at the lower end of the clamping mechanism, a sliding groove matched with the clamping part is formed in the workpiece table, and the transverse clamping method comprises the steps that the clamping part is controlled to be kept in a loosened state; the workpiece table is moved in the direction transverse to the cutting roller of the wire cutting machine, so that the sliding groove is matched with the clamping part; the workpiece table is adjusted to a set position; and the clamping part is controlled to act, and the workpiece table is clamped and fixed. The operation space in the mounting process of the
