Abstract

Hong Kong is one of the most important ports worldwide, with the trade sector accounting for about one-fifth of its GDP and employment. However, with their low costs and better service, the ports of Yantian and Shekou-Chiwan, in Southern China, are posing a threat to Hong KongEs trade. In order to maintain its former competitive edge, Hong Kong needs to deal with the main issue of the high costs and difficulties involved in trucking goods to the port.

32. Automated generation of dedicated fixture design

Author

Wu, Y., Rong, Y., and Chu, T.C.

Abstract

Flexible fixturing is a necessary aspect of FMS and CIMS. Computer–aided fixture design (CAFD) has become a research focus in implementing FMS and CIMS. Although modular fixtures have been used in industry as flexible fixtures, there are some limitations in large–batch and mass productions where dedicated fixtures are utilised. By combining CAFD with 3–D lithographic and/or CNC machining techniques, customised fixtures can be rapidly designed and fabricated to reduce manufacturing lead–time. In this paper, an automated customised fixture design system is introduced. Based on fixture structure analysis, fixtures are divided into functional components, fixture bases, and supporters of connections. A geometry–element generator is designed to adaptively generate fixture components with dimensions according to workpiece geometry and operational information. Locator/clamp selection is automatically conducted with connections to a fixture base. Once fixture units have been designed individually, the connections may be modified into combined units based on certain criteria. Interference checking and fixture unit modifications are also automatically performed in the system. Fixture design examples are given at the end of the paper.
