Fixture Design Automation and Optimization Techniques: Review and Future Trends
Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Fixture Design
Manufacturing and assembly processes often require objects to be held in such a way that they can resist all external wrenches. The problem of " xture planning" is to compute, for a given object and a set of xturing elements, the set of placements of the xturing elements that constrain all nite and in nitesimal motions of the object (due to applied wrenches). As xturing problems occur frequentl...
متن کاملA Systems Approach to Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure Design for Utility Management Automation Systems
Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...
متن کاملGeneric fixture design algorithms for minimal modular fixture toolkits
Fixturing, i.e. the process of immobilizing a work-piece for manufacturing or assembly operations, is a fundamental task in manufacturing. Fixtures can either be fabricated from scratch or assembled from a toolkit of modular components; the latter approach is termed modular xturing. Recently, many researchers have proposed generate and test xture design algorithms for minimal modular xture tool...
