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...

Automation of Optical Test Equipment using LabVIEW

A blue array of GaN-based μLEDs and a Golden Dragon Plus commercial LED (OSRAM) were analysed under a pulsed current. A LabVIEW program by National InstrumentsTM is used to automate the measurements of the envelope at the top of the pulse at different frequencies. The program allows to save, to plot and to elaborate the data measured. The results, characterised by noise at high frequencies, sho...
