مستخلص المنشور

Fixture Planning (FP) is an important manufacturing activity that has a 
significant effect on product quality and productivity. FP not only determines the locating 
scheme to restrict the Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) of work-piece but also locating and 
clamping datum for final fixture assembly. In this paper, an intelligent fixture planning 
methodology is proposed. The part geometric data base and process/setup plan is taken as 
input to an intelligent FP system. At first, a rule based is developed to determine the correct
ocating scheme that constraints all DOF of work-piece. Then the artificial neural network (ANN)
is applied to determine feasible locating and clamping faces. The methodology is also validated
with an illustrative example.
