AN ADVANCED TREATISE ON FIXTURE DESIGN AND PLANNING

by Andrew Y C Nee, A Senthil Kumar (National University of Singapore, Singapore) & Z J Tao (Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore)

Table of Contents (158k)
Preface (62k)
Chapter 1: Introduction to Fixture Design (657k)

Fixtures are an essential part of manufacturing production. This book covers computer-aided fixture design, fixture clamping synthesis and optimisation, workpiece-fixture interaction, intelligent fixture designed to integrate with processing equipment or machine tools so as to improve productivity and product quality, Internet-enabled fixture design and modular fixture database management. These are the emerging issues central to the development of computer-integrated manufacturing.

Covering the established knowledge of fixture design automation and the niche areas of fixture system integration and Internet-enabled design, the book would be a prevalent reference for academics, manufacturing & industrial engineers, and a valuable text for engineering graduate students.
