  1. CELDi Conference, Stillwater, OK, 12-13 April’ 2005 Fixture Design Criteria Dr. Shivakumar Raman and Aashish Wadke University of Oklahoma Center for Engineering Logistics and Distribution University of Oklahoma College of Engineering University of Oklahoma School of Industrial Engineering

  2. Fixture Design Criteria – A quick glance • Improve and speed Fixture Design (Phase I) • research technologies to improve and speed fixture design within Tinker AFB • detailed descriptions of theoretical fixture design principles • summary of available hydraulic fixtures • electronic fixture design manual • Interactive 3D Fixture Visualization and Assembly (Phase II) • CAD Modeling of available Fixtures • Creation of 3D visualizations of fixtures in Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) • Dynamically Build Custom Modular Fixtures (Phase III) – Objective • Build a library of modular fixturing components • ‘Decision Support System for Building Machining Fixtures’

  3. Improve and speed fixture design – Comprehensive Fixture Design Tutorial • Fixture Design Manual • Jigs and Fixtures • Do’s and Don’ts • Hydraulic Chucks • Fixture Animations

  4. Use of VRML – Visualize Fixturing Principles • 3D Visualization of Fixturing Principles. • Integration of CAD and Internet Technology • Dynamic visualizations • Ease of Use • Compatible with standard web browsers

  5. Interactive 3D Visualization and Assembly • Collection of Fixtures Built at Tinker AFB • Assembly of fixtures part by part in a Three Dimensional Virtual Environment. • Analyze and study different aspects of fixturing • Locate parts • Supporting parts • Clamping parts Assembly Info Assembly Part Part Info

  6. Fixture Assembly • Operations in 3D Virtual Environment • Pick and Place object • Change View (top, front, side, bottom) • Pan, Zoom In/Out, Rotate 360 • degrees Part by Part Assembly of Fixture in 3D Virtual Environment

  7. Modular Fixturing • Database of modular fixturing components. • Archive of pre-built modular fixture configurations. • Tutorial for building Modular Fixtures – enhanced with VRML and instructional videos. • Build modular fixtures dynamically in Virtual Reality (VR) environment.

  8. Decision Support System for Building FixturesOnline Dynamic Fixture Building System • Ready Reference of Fixturing principles • 3D Visualization of objects for better understanding • Enable rapid fixture building • Build fixture in Virtual Environment • Analyze fixture design virtually before actually building it • Excellent tool for specific part fixturing • System independent of CAD platforms
