Fixture Design Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm-a Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Fixtures are used to locate, hold and support workpieces in manufacturing operations such as machining, inspection, and assembly. Researching the possibilities for fixture design optimization has been in the sphere of interest of a number of authors worldwide for a longer period. Fixture design process and fixture design technique with conventional methods have been obsolete. Genetic Algorithm method has been selected as optimization of fixture design. This paper presents a brief review of Fixture Design optimization and Genetic Algorithm integration in terms of fixture layout, clamping position and part deformation. Also Introduction of Genetic Algorithm with applications, pros and cons are described.
