Fixturing of workpieces is commonly deployed in vibratory finishing due to the various benefits that this immobilization technique has to offer. The most significant of the benefits is the quality surface finish that can be achieved in shorter process times. Vibratory fixturing is a method where the component is clamped onto a vibrator to induce vibrations to the workpiece. This can accelerate cycle times when incorporated on a vibratory finishing machine. In this work, experiments were conducted using machine and vibratory fixture as the factors influencing the time taken to reach its required average surface roughness of 1 μm. A novel combination of high-speed camera videos and motion analysis software was used to assess the media impact velocities at the media circulating in the machine and thus to elucidate the results obtained in the experimental investigations.
