Abstract: This paper presents a machining accuracy analysis for computer-aided fixture design verification. While discussing the utilization of CNC machine tools and machining centers, machining errors are ...

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic finite element model to predict the fixture unit stiffness by introducing nonlinear contact elements on the contact surface between fixture components. The contact ...

Abstract: Computer-aided fixture design (CAFD) techniques have advanced to the point that fixture configurations can be generated automatically, for both modular fixtures and dedicated fixtures. Computer-aided ...
