Abstract
Abstract Setup planning and fixture design is a major missing link in automating process planning for machining. In attempting to automate setup planning and fixture design, requirements for setup and fixturing were studied. Algorithmic and heuristic methods were developed to synthesize and analyze setup plan and fixture configurations. Based on the study, the task of setup planning and fixture design was structured into a setup planning and fixture design plan. The plan was implemented as a system that automatically plans the setup sequence and designs fixture configurations from the toleranced solid model of the finished component. This paper describes the result of the study of the requirements, the setup planning and fixture design plan, and the result of the implementation.
