Most of previous research on machining process planning has not fully included consideration on fixturing. With fixture components properly assembled with the part workpiece in a CAD modeling environment, necessary geometric information of fixture elements and their interrelations with the part model can be obtained so that machining process plans could incorporate fixturing considerations. This paper introduces an interactive fixturing system called I-Fix. I-Fix is a dowel-pin based modular fixture system, and it has been developed using Solid Edge CAD system and Visual Basic. Through customized operations of the assembly commands of the CAD system, I-Fix significantly simplifies user operations and thus reduces fixturing time. Furthermore, I-Fix enhances user convenience by providing general guidance about the fixture components and fixturing methods.

A new method to locate modular fixtures using an optimization technique is proposed. The optimal fixture arrangement is derived to minimize the elastic deformation of a workpiece. That is, a fixture arrangement is regarded better if it minimized the elastic deformation of the workpiece while fixing a workpart of course. In this approach, the workpiece is projected into two dimensional domain to simplify the 3-dimensional fixture arrangement problem into 2-dimensional one. Thus the problem is reduced to find the optimal positions of one horizontal clamp and three locators which minimize the total deformation of the workpiece and the design variables are the location of the contact points between the boundary of the workpiece and the 4-fixels. The Genetic Algorithm is used for the optimization by mapping each design variables to a gene of a chromosome. The fitness value is the total strain energy of the workpiece calculated by the fin element analysis.

Fixtures are devided into special purpose fixtures, modular fixtures and general purpose fixtures. In this paper, the database of modual fixtures for flexible manufacturing systems is estabilished. Modular fixtures are classified into base plates, supporting elements, locating elements, clamping elements and accessories. Also the concept for the modular fixture design expert system is proposed.

In modular fixturing systems, a given part or a subassembly is fixed by placing fixture elements such as locators and clamps adequately on a plate with a lattice of holes. It is known that the minimal number of point contacts to restrict translational and rotational motions on a plane is four and the type of three locators and a clamp(3L/1C) is the minimal future. Brost and Goldberg developed the complete algorithm to automatically synthesize 3L/1C types of fixtures which satisfy the condition of form closure. Due to the nature of the fixture, the clearance between the fixture and the part is extremely small. It is hard to load the part repeatedly and accurately for human as well as for robot. However the condition of loadability has not been taken into account in the B&G algorithm. In this paper, a new method to decide a given fixture to be loadable by using configuration space is proposed. A method to plan for a part to be loaded by using compliance safely even in the presence of control and sensing uncertainty is proposed is well.

The concept of jigs and fixtures makes it possible to build fixtures that can be dismantled at project completion. Since this concept is modular, it is not limited to any particular unit shapes or sizes. Various standards assure that each component assemble rapidly, to get precision and accuracy. Best suited for prototype and low volume production, as well as, start-up or zero-runs, it can also substitute for damaged dedicated fixtures to minimize down-time. It need to do DB for each part by Pro/Engineer and to assemble before manufacturing. In the future will assemble each of clamping and position parts by automation.

One of the major limitations of productivity and quality in metal cutting is the machining accuracy of machine tools. The machining accuracy is affected by geometric errors, thermally-induced errors, and the deterioration of the machine tools. Geometric and thermal errors of machine tools should be measured and compensated to manufacture high quality products. In metal cutting, the machining accuracy is more affected by thermal errors than by geometric errors. This paper models the thermal errors for error analysis and develops an on-the-machine measurement system by which the volumetric errors are measured and compensated. The thermal error is modeled by means of angularity errors of a column and thermal drift error of the spindle unit which are measured by the touch probe unit with a star type styluses and a designed spherical ball artifact (SBA). Experiments show that the developed system provides a high measuring accuracy, with repeatability of $\pm$2$\mu\textrm{m}$ in X, Y and Z directions. It is believed that the developed measurement system can be also applied to the machine tools with CNC controller. In addition, machining accuracy and product quality can be also improved by using the developed measurement system when the spherical ball artifact is mounted on a modular fixture.

It is believed that the developed measurement system can be also applied to the machine tools with CNC controller. In addition, machining accuracy and product quality can be improved by using the developed measurement system when the spherical ball artifact is mounted on the modular fixture.

본 연구는 새로운 제품에 대한 요구와 다양성을 추구하는 일반 소비자들에게 제시되고 있는 주얼리 디자인을 연구하는 데 목적이 있다. 기존에 판매되고 있는 여러 가지 제품 모듈을 서로 바꾸어 착용할 수 있도록 한 다변형 교체 방식의 주얼리와는 구별되는 구조와 결합 방식의 모듈형 주얼리디자인을 제시하고자 한다. 기존의 다소 작은 여러 부품들을 복잡한 결합 방식으로 제작하는 경우 문제점이 발생할 가능성이 높으며 소비자가 장식 부품을 교체하면서 작은 고정 장치 부품을 조립하는 과정에서 분실하는 어려움이 따를 수 있다. 따라서 이런 문제들을 줄이기 위해 다른 결합 부품 필요 없이 손쉽게 교체하여 착용할 수 있도록 심플하고 단순한 디자인 위주로 제작한 주얼리 제품들과는 차별화시키고 최신의 3D프린터(Rapid Prototyping)를 이용하여 제작하려 한다. 이 연구는 현장 실무에 종사하며 얻어진 경험 및 노하우를 바탕으로 실물 제작이 가능하고 제작 과정 시 문제점 발생을 최소한으로 줄이는 데 주력했으며, 이를 통해 시간적, 경제적인 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 3D프로그램(CAD)을 사용하여 제작함으로서 보다 정교하고 차별화된 형태를 표현하여 개선된 주얼리 제품을 제작하는 데 연구목적이 있다.
