To correctly machine a part, it must be held in a fixturing setup that guarantees a definite location, or position, with respect to a part's datum points or surfaces. This must be repeatable, part-after-part.
"Fixture Design" explores the various issues influencing the development of fixtures, as well as, the basic fixture types and classifications, including:
- Milling Fixtures - Lathe Fixtures - Grinding Fixtures - Broaching Fixtures
The use of component kits to quickly construct modular fixturing systems is also examined.
