Computerized Manufacturing Setup Planning

This chapter indicates that setup planning and fixture design are two closely related tasks. To setup a work piece is to locate the work piece in a desired position on the machine table. A fixture is then used to provide some type of clamping mechanism to maintain the work piece in the position and to resist the effects of gravity and/or operational forces. Although setup planning is constrained by fixtures to be applied, it provides guidelines for fixture. Fixture configuration techniques have been developed, whereby structural design can be generated automatically when fixturing surfaces and points are specified on the work-piece fixture. However, the fixture design has to be started over on a trial-and- error basis if one of the following happens: the work-piece geometry is changed, the setup plan is changed, or the fixture design does not satisfy process requirements.
