Abstract
It is better to obtain a conceptual design of jigs and fixtures at setup planning stage itself. A brief review of different types of fixtures and relevant research is presented. Fixture design requires information about machining force. These can be estimated in an approximate manner using physics based or soft computing based approaches. Design of locators and clamps is based on the principles of contact mechanics. Considering uncertainty, fuzzy arithmetic can be used for the estimation of forces and design dimensions. The location of clamps and locators needs to be optimized for gaining better stiffness of the system. An illustrative example on end milling demonstrates how fixture related information can be obtained along with setup planning.
