Abstract
Based on Group Technology, a machine tool fixture library management system based on assembly knowledge description is put forward to maximize the reuse of fixture design knowledge and experience. According to GT classification results, fixture parts are divided into standard ones and non-standard ones. To support parametric assembly, a reuse library is used for parametric standard part design. For the non-standard parts, second development technology is used to realize their parametric design based on 3D model templates. Parametric assembly design is achieved based on assembly relation description. SolidWorks platform, VB programming language and Access database are used to develop the system that includes feature-based parameter-driven parts and assemblies for machine tool fixtures.
