4、fixture synthesis.I. INTRODUCTIONProper fixture design is crucial to product quality in terms of precision and accuracy in part fabrication and assembly. Fixturing systems, usually consisting of clamps and locators, must be capable to assure certain quality performances, besides of positioning and h

Although there are a few design guidelines such as 3-2-1 rule, automated systems for designing fixtures based on CAD models have been slow to evolve. This article describes a research approach to automated design of a class of fixtures fo

The parts considered to be fixtured present an arbitrary complex geometry, and the designed fixtures are limited to the minimum number of elements required, i.e. six locators and a clamp. Furthermore, the fixels are modeled as non-frictional point contacts and are restricted to be a

In general, the set of fixture locations available is assumed to be a potentially very large collection; for example, the locations might be generated by discretizingthe exterior surfaces of the workpiece. The goal of the fixture desi
8、gn is to determine first, from the proposed discrete domain, the feasible fixture configurations that satisfy the form-closure constraint. Secondly, the sets of acceptable fixture designs are evaluated on several criteria and optimal fixtures are selected. The performance measures considered in this
9、 work are the localization accuracy, and the norm and distribution of the locator contact forces. These objectives cover the most critical error sources encountered in a fixture design, the position errors and the unwanted stress in the part-fixture elements due to an overloaded or unbalanced force

The algorithm developed evaluates efficiently the admissible designs exploiting the recursive properties in localization and force analysis. The algorithm produces the optimal fixture design that meets a s

The essential requirement of fixturing is the century-old concept of form closure 2, which has beenextensively studied in the field of robotics in recent years 3, 4. There are
12、several formal methods for analyzing performance of a given fixture based on the popular screw theory, dealing with issues such as kinematic closure 5, contact types and friction effects 6. A different analysis approach based on the geometric perturbation technique was reported in 7. An automatic mo
13、dular fixture design procedure based on this method was developed in 8 to include geometric access constraints in addition to kinematic closure. The problem of designing modular fixtures gained more attention lately 9. There has also been extensive research in fixture designs, focusing on workpiece
14、and fixture structuralrigidity 6, tool accessibility and path clearance 7. The problem of fixture synthesis has been largely studied for the case of a fixed number of fixture elements (or fixels) 8, 10, particularly in the application to robotic manipulation and grasping for its obvious easons 3, 4.
15、 This article aims to be an extension of the results on the fixture design issues previously reported in 14.III. FIXTURE MODELThe fundamental performance of a fixture is characterized by the kinematic constraints imposed on the workpiece being held by the fixture. The kinematic conditions are well understood 3, 4, 5, 7, 12. For a fixture of n locators (i = 1, 2, , n), the fixture can be represented by: dy=GTdqwhere define small perturbations in the locator positions and the location of the workpiece respectively. The fixture designis defined by the locator matrixi where and ni and
