Abstract Fixtures are commonly employed in production as work holding devices that keep the workpiece immobilized while machined. The workpiece’s deformation, which affects machining precision, is greatly influenced by positioning of fixture elements around workpiece. By locators and clamps appropriately, deformation might be decreased. Therefore, it required to model fixture–workpiece system’s...

One of the most critical issues related to current application virtual reality during design appraisal is inability have a collaborative environment where group geographically remote stakeholders can interact and communicate effectively in real-time. This paper addresses this shortcoming by proposing furniture, fixture equipment (COFFEE) that allows concurrent multi-users interact, collaborate ...

Part tolerances and fixture layouts are two pivotal factors in the geometrical quality of a compliant assembly. The independent design optimization these for assemblies have been thoroughly studied. However, this paper presents dependency and, consequently, demand an integrated them. A method is developed order to address issue by utilizing variation simulation tools evolutionary algorithms. Th...

The geometric errors in the manufacturing process can be reduced by optimal positioning of the fixture elements in the fixture to make the workpiece stiff. We propose a new fixture layout optimization method N-3-2-1 for large metal sheets in this paper that combines the genetic algorithm and finite element analysis. The objective function in this method is to minimize the sum of the nodal defle...

Modular fixturing kits are precisely machined sets of components used for flexible, shortturnaround construction of fixtures for a variety of manufacturing purposes. A modularvise is a parallel-jaw vise, where each jaw is a modular fixture plate with a regular grid of precisely positioned holes. A modular vise can be used to locate and hold parts for machining, assembly, and inspection tasks. T...

This paper describes a usefulness measure that supports ongoing work on a hybrid process planning approach that combines the best characteristics of both variant and generative process planning while avoiding their worst limitations. To specify the fixtures needed by a process plan for a new design, the hybrid approach must identify existing designs and process plans that have fixtures that can...
