CONSIDERATIONS AND USE OF THE GENETIC ALGORITHM IN OPTIMIZATION OF STANDARD FIXTURE COMPONENTS

The accurate clamping and locating is essential in factory automation process. Fast localization of strategic placement of structure elements for 3-2-1 fixture based on genetic algorithm and milling tool path is presented. Travelling salesmen method is used for a 2D tool path search. A final design of an optimised placement is also shown with improved overall workpiece force and deflection influence.
