This paper gives a review of fixture-design research, most of it done in the 1980s. The major
topics of the review are the fixturing principles (supporting, locating and clamping) …

We present an implemented algorithm that accepts a polygonal description of a part's
silhouette, and efficiently constructs the set of all feasible fixture designs that kinematically …

A Complete Reference Covering the Latest Technology in Metal Cutting Tools, Processes,
and Equipment Metal Cutting Theory and Practice, Third Edition shapes the future of …

Fixture design is an important consideration in all manufacturing operations. Central to this
design is selecting and positioning the locating points. While substantial literature exists in …

Fixtures are used to locate and hold workpieces during manufacturing. Because workpiece
surface errors and fixture set-up errors (called source errors) always exist, the fixtured …

A fixture planning module is being developed as part of a computational system for
concurrent product and process design. The module employs symbolic and numerical …

Illustrates recently developed fixture design and verification technology, focusing on their
central role in manufacturing processes. The text uses up-to-date computer technology to …

In this research paper, a methodology is proposed by combining taguchi's parametric
design, hybrid artificial neural network–particle swarm optimization (ANN–PSO) and …

Abstract Design of fixture configuration (layout) is a procedure to establish the workpiece
fixture contact through positioning of clamps and locating elements such that the workpiece …

In any machining fixture, the workpiece elastic deformation caused during machining
influences the dimensional and form errors of the workpiece. Placing each locator and …
