Abstract
Fixtures are an essential part of manufacturing production. They are needed whenever a component must be located and held with respect to a machine-tool or measuring device, or with respect to another component, as for instance in assembly or welding. This study concentrates on fixtures for machining and, in particular, fixtures for use in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS).
