Abstract

Briefly reviewed in this paper is the development of an expert system for the fixture set-up and for gearbox casings to be machined on machining centres. The set-up and fixture planning involves the definitions of operation sequence, workpiece orientation, locating type, locating surfaces, clamping type, and clamping surfaces. In this paper, the development of the system and a more detailed description of the locating solution is presented.
