Abstract:Abstract:To hold a workpiece firmly at its place, a fixture is required. Some previous studies have discussed the balance of forces and moments that are based on kinematic model, screw theory, contact force and position error. The most fundamental problem in the design of the fixture is to determine the coordinates of a locator and clamp and a clamping force, so that the workpiece is stable during the machining process. This paper discusses an optimization model to determine the coordinates of the locator and … Show more
