RISOptimal Placement of Fixture Clamps: Maintaining Form Closure and Independent Regions of Form Closure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of computing frictionless optimal clamping schemes with form closure on three-dimensional parts with planar and cylindrical faces. Given a work part with a ...
Optimal Placement of Fixture Clamps: Minimizing the Maximum Clamping Forces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of synthesizing robust optimal clamping schemes on three-dimensional parts with planar faces, with and without friction. Given a work part with a pre-defined ...
Kinematic Analysis and Synthesis of Deterministic 3-2-1 Locator Schemes for Machining Fixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of generating a well-conditioned, near-optimal deterministic 3-2-1 location scheme. Given are a workpart with identified planar datum faces, each with an associated ...
Analysis of the Influence of Fixture Locator Errors on the Compliance of Work Part Features to Geometric Tolerance Specifications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A machining fixture controls position and orientation of datum references (used to define important functional features of the geometry of a mechanical part) relative the reference frame for an ...
Robust Control of a Parallel- Kinematic Nanopositioner
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the design, model identification, and control of a parallel-kinematic XYZ nanopositioning stage for general nanomanipulation and nanomanufacturing applications. The stage has a ...
