  10. Problem Definition • We first analyze piecewise planar sheet metal parts. • Assumptions: • Frictionless contacts. • Linear part edges (perimeter & holes). • First order form-closure only. • Jaws are vertical parallel cylinders with horizontal V-shaped grooves. • Part thickness negligible.

  11. Jaw Part V-shaped Grooves • Consists of intersection of 2 frustums as shown: • Forces exerted normal to each frustum at point of contact.

  12. Analysis of Free Motion • Any motion can be broken down to component motions: • Translations: ex, ey, ez • Rotations: rx, ry, rz • Any infinitesimal motion = sequence of components.

  13. z y x Coordinate System • x-z plane contains axes of jaws. • Jaws close along x. • Jaw axes parallel to z.

  14. I III II IV Results from V-grips Step1: We consider a pair of concave vertices. Step2: At these vertices, we draw normals to the edges through the jaw’s center. Step3: We label the 4 regions as shown: Theorem: Both jaws lie strictly in the other’s Region I means it is an expanding v-grip or Both jaws lie strictly in the other’s Region IV means it is a contracting v-grip.

  15. z y x Form-Closure in the x-y plane • Test of 2D v-grip is applied. • Ensures that distance decreases for ex, ey, rz. • Next, we consider ex, ez, ry.

  16. z y x Form-Closure in the x-z plane • Test of 2D v-grip is applied in x-z plane. • However, consider the jaws as the part and part as contacts. • Ensures that distance decreases for ex, ez, ry. • For infinitesimal motions, vertices still lie strictly in corresponding region.

  17. Rotation about x axis • Rotation about x axis always increases. • Reason: Only parts which are horizontal at contacts are considered.

  18. Theorem • Any sheet-metal part which is horizontal at the points of contact is held in Form-Closure if • Part is in expanding/contracting 2D v-grip for horizontal projection. • Jaws are held in contracting/expanding 2D v-grip by the part in the plane containing axes of jaws. • These conditions are sufficient but not necessary.

  19. Algorithm • For every face of part, generate all pairs of concave vertices on faces parallel to it. • Test each pair for Form-Closure. • If in Form-Closure, add to list of grips. • Sort list by quality metric.

  21. Quality Metric for v-grips • Based on sensitivity to relaxing of jaws. • Maximum change in orientation with one jaw still at a vertex. • |dq/dl| = |tan(f)/l|

  22. Suggested Metric • Sensitivity of orientation to relaxing of jaws. • Consider all values of |tan(f)/l| for v-grips in x-y and x-z planes. • Take maximum value for worst change in orientation. • Intuitive but not rigorous.

  24. I III II IV Friction • Is it possible to extend by just adding friction cone to the regions?

  25. Diagonal Planes at Contacts • Horizontality is used only when analyzing rx. • If distance can be shown to reduce otherwise, horizontal assumption can be removed. • E.g. Plane contains a line parallel to y-axis.
