CAD Method of Clamping Plan for Dowel- pin Modular Fixture

A CAD method of clamping part plan for the dowel- pin modular fixture is presented in this paper. The feasible clamping areas of the workpiece are defined,its expressing method and determination are described. The feasible position set of the clamp parts for the given workpiece is presented,and the quality evaluation of the clamping plan design is established. Implementation of the prototype of the method shows that it can be applied in the design of clamp parts planning for simple workpicecs.
