Abstract
Water-jet robots find application across various domains, including cutting, cleaning, and drilling diverse materials. Recently, they have been integrated into automated process lines for manufacturing automobile interior components. Consequently, with the advancement of water-jet robot processing technology, a dedicated fixture is required to support the product shape for processing complex-shaped automobile interiors. The existing water-jet processing fixtures were produced through a wet lay-up process using glass fiber to reduce manufacturing costs; however, recently, water-jet fixtures employed in automated lines have experienced deformation over prolonged usage, resulting in shape-processing errors and an increased the defect rate. Therefore, this study explores the use of carbon fiber and the VARTM vacuum bagging process to enhance the quality of water-jet dedicated fixtures, refine the manufacturing process, alleviate shape strain, and bolster the structural integrity of the fixtures compared to the conventional wet lay-up method typically employed for composite fixtures. A study was conducted on.
