先進制造與自動化技術的發(fā)展
1 我國制造業(yè)面臨的挑戰(zhàn)
世紀之交,世界的政治、經(jīng)濟和技術發(fā)生了前所未有的巨大變化,經(jīng)濟全球化正在形成。信息技術對制造業(yè)產(chǎn)生了極其深刻和全面的影響,使制造業(yè)的發(fā)展打上了明顯的信息化烙印。經(jīng)濟全球化和信息化使制造業(yè)的競爭環(huán)境、發(fā)展模式及運行效率與活動空間等發(fā)生了深刻變化,這些變化對我國制造業(yè)提出了嚴峻的挑戰(zhàn),同時也為實現(xiàn)我國制造業(yè)的跨越式發(fā)展提供了有利條件和機遇。
1.1 制造業(yè)競爭環(huán)境的變化
隨著經(jīng)濟全球化進程的加快,出現(xiàn)了新的國際分工格局:發(fā)達國家主要發(fā)展知識密集型的高新技術產(chǎn)業(yè)和服務業(yè),而把勞動和資源密集型的產(chǎn)業(yè)向發(fā)展中國家轉(zhuǎn)移。經(jīng)濟全球化的浪潮和我國加入WTO,使我國正在逐步成為世界的重要制造基地。跨國公司紛紛在我國投資建立企業(yè)和技術中心,國外產(chǎn)品大舉進入中國。這使產(chǎn)品的市場競爭更加激烈,也使得我國制造企業(yè)必須直接同跨國公司在技術、資源、人才等方面進行正面競爭。面對如此嚴峻的挑戰(zhàn),我國制造業(yè)只能背水一戰(zhàn),加快技術升級的步伐,提高企業(yè)綜合競爭能力。
1.2 制造業(yè)發(fā)展模式的變化
信息化提高了生產(chǎn)要素的信息屬性,促使企業(yè)競爭模式從自然資源和人力的競爭轉(zhuǎn)向創(chuàng)新能力和創(chuàng)造高附加值產(chǎn)品的競爭;信息化使得知識的重要性凸顯,人才成為競爭優(yōu)勢的重要因素;信息化促使企業(yè)管理由金字塔型結構向扁平型結構轉(zhuǎn)變。經(jīng)營思想由粗放型向集約型轉(zhuǎn)變,出現(xiàn)了各種先進制造模式,如并行工程、敏捷制造、網(wǎng)絡化制造和虛擬制造等,為我國企業(yè)向先進制造模式轉(zhuǎn)變、提升我國制造企業(yè)的水平和能力提供了可以借鑒的模式。
1.3 制造企業(yè)運行效率與活動空間的變化
信息化促進了國際金融市場的快速發(fā)展,不僅保障了跨國經(jīng)濟活動的正常運行,而且提高了資金在全球的流動速度;信息化可以大大縮短產(chǎn)品上市時間,提高產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量,降低生產(chǎn)消耗和交易成本,提高資源利用率,從而大幅度提高制造企業(yè)的效率;信息化使企業(yè)在規(guī)模、經(jīng)濟實力和創(chuàng)新能力等方面得到了空前的發(fā)展,跨國公司的力量進一步加強;信息化和經(jīng)濟全球化打破了國界的阻隔,跨國經(jīng)營日益普遍,國際貿(mào)易高速增長,國際投資日趨活躍,為企業(yè)發(fā)展創(chuàng)造了廣闊空間。
我國的制造業(yè)在國民經(jīng)濟中占有重要的地位,在工業(yè)化的進程中又同時面;臨著信息化的艱巨任務。中共中央提出的“用信息化帶動制造業(yè)現(xiàn)代化,用高新技術改造制造業(yè),以實現(xiàn)制造業(yè)跨越發(fā)展”戰(zhàn)略,為我國發(fā)展先進制造與自動化技術指明了方向。
2 我國制造業(yè)存在的主要差距
由于我國工業(yè)化進程起步較晚,與國際先進水平相比,我國的制造業(yè)和制造技術還存在著階段性差距。為了迎接經(jīng)濟全球化和信息化的挑戰(zhàn),迫切需要解決以下幾方面的問題。
a.產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新能力較差,開發(fā)周期較長。我國機械制造業(yè)的新產(chǎn)品貢獻率約為18.09%(20O0年),而美國已經(jīng)達到52%左右(1995年)。我國大中型企業(yè)生產(chǎn)的 2 000多種主導產(chǎn)品的平均生命周期為10.5年,是美國同類產(chǎn)品生命周期的3.5倍。
我國有8O%以上的企業(yè)生產(chǎn)能力利用不足或嚴重不足,但同時每年還要進口數(shù)以千億美元國內(nèi)短缺的產(chǎn)品。
b.制造工藝裝備落后,成套能力不強。我國大多數(shù)企業(yè)目前還采用較落后的制造工藝與技術裝備進行生產(chǎn),優(yōu)質(zhì)高效低耗工藝的普及率不足10%,數(shù)控機床、精密設備不足 5%,配有國產(chǎn)數(shù)控系統(tǒng)的中檔數(shù)控機床不超過 25%,高檔數(shù)控機床的90%以上依賴進口;我國在大型成套裝備技術方面嚴重落后, 100%的光纖制造裝備、85%的集成電路(IC)制造裝備、 80%的石化裝備、 70%的轎車工業(yè)裝備都依賴進口。
C.生產(chǎn)自動化和優(yōu)化水平不高,資源綜合利用率低。我國平均勞動生產(chǎn)率為0.263萬美元,而美國、日本和印度分別為9.37萬美元、10.47萬美元和0.34萬美元;我國的能源綜合利用率僅為32%左右,比國外的先進水平低IO多個百分點;我國每萬元國民生產(chǎn)總值的能耗比發(fā)達國家高4倍多,主要產(chǎn)品單位能耗比發(fā)達國家高30%~90%,工業(yè)排放的污染物超過發(fā)達國家1O倍以上。
d.企業(yè)管理粗放,協(xié)作能力較差,國際市場開拓能力弱。我國多數(shù)企業(yè)缺少現(xiàn)代化管理的概念、方法和手段,眾多的企業(yè)尚處于經(jīng)驗管理階段,企業(yè)機構臃腫,富裕人員一般多達 3O%~ 4O%。我國機械工業(yè)的專業(yè)化水平僅為15%~30%,而美國、西歐諸國、日本企業(yè)的專業(yè)化水平已經(jīng)達到75%~95%,小而全、大而全的“莊園式企業(yè)”缺乏快速響應市場需求的能力。經(jīng)過20多年的努力,我國出口商品占世界市場份額從0.5%提高到目前的3.5%,但是根據(jù)近3年的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)分析,高附加值和高技術含量的出口商品僅占我國出口商品總量的10%左右。
e.戰(zhàn)略必爭裝備和競爭前核心技術的開發(fā)相對薄弱。戰(zhàn)略必爭裝備涉及國家安全和經(jīng)濟命脈,對國民經(jīng)濟有重大影響。競爭前核心技術在未來的國際競爭中有可能開拓新的廣闊市場或成為新的重大關鍵技術。例如:用于海洋資源開發(fā)的水下作業(yè)裝備,用于高精尖設備制造的超精密加工裝備,面向IT等產(chǎn)業(yè)的集成電路制造關鍵裝備,對未來許多行業(yè)將產(chǎn)生重大影響的微機電系統(tǒng)(MEMS)以及集高技術于一身的仿人形機器人等。由于國外的技術封鎖,這些裝備和技術是花錢也很難買到的,必須靠自己的力量加以解決。
綜上所述,我國的制造業(yè)和制造技術還不能很好滿足國民經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和參與國際競爭的需要。不解決上述問題,中國的制造業(yè)就不能在激烈的競爭中生存和發(fā)展。為了使我國制造業(yè)在國內(nèi)、國際市場競爭中立于不敗之地,為了盡快形成我國自主創(chuàng)新和跨越發(fā)展的先進制造技術體系,積極發(fā)展和應用先進制造與自動化技術刻不容緩,勢在必行。
3 先進制造與自動化技術發(fā)展現(xiàn)狀
世界各國十分重視發(fā)展先進制造與自動化技術,許多跨國公司應用先進制造與自動化技術實現(xiàn)了設計、制造后理和經(jīng)營的一體化,加強了在國際市場的壟斷地位。例如,美國波音公司在波音777客機的研制中,由于使用了先進的產(chǎn)品開發(fā)設計技術,使開發(fā)周期從過去的8~9年縮短到4.5年,縮短了40%以上。成本降低25%,出錯返工率降低75%,用戶滿意度也大幅度提高。美國通用汽車公司應用現(xiàn)代集成制造系統(tǒng)技術,將轎車的開發(fā)周期由原來的48個月縮短到了24個月,碰撞試驗的次數(shù)由原來的幾百次降到幾十次,應用電子商務技術降低銷售成本 10%;美國 Exxon- Mobil石油公司應用先進的綜合自動化技術后,使企業(yè)的效益提高5%~8%,勞動生產(chǎn)率提高例%~15%;機器人技術與自動化工藝裝備的核心技術一直受到世界各國的重視,面向未來服務的水下機器人、微機器人。醫(yī)用機器人、仿人形機器人等特種機器人,面向國防、航空、航天等方面的超精密加工裝備,面向基礎設施建設的智能化大型工程機械,面向制造業(yè)的高精度、高效率、低成本和高柔性基礎制造裝備等已成為目前的研究開發(fā)重點。先進制造與自動化技術已經(jīng)成為帶動制造業(yè)發(fā)展的重要推動力。
為了占領先進制造與自動化技術的制高點,許多國家提出了跨世紀的研究計劃。例如,美國政府提出了《美國國家關鍵技術》、《先進制造技術計劃》、《敏捷制造與制造技術計劃》和《下一代制造(NGM)》等計劃;在歐共體的《尤里卡計劃(EURE-KA)》、《信息技術研究發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略計劃(ESPRIT)》和《第五屆框架研究計劃》中,與先進制造技術有關的項目占有相當大的比重;德國政府提出了《制造2000計劃》、《微系統(tǒng)2000計劃》和《面向未來的生產(chǎn)》等計劃;日本的《智能制造系統(tǒng)計劃》、《極限作業(yè)機器人研究計劃》、《微機器研究計劃》和《仿人形機器人研究計劃》;英國的《國家納米技術計劃》(NION);韓國的《高級先進技術國家計劃》(G7計劃)等。這些國家均將先進制造與自動化技術列為重要研究內(nèi)容。通過政府、企業(yè)、大學和科研院所的合作實施,這些計劃大大促進了先進制造與自動化技術的發(fā)展。
近10多年來,我國有關部門有計劃地部署了一系列國家級重點科技項目,有效地促進了我國先進制造與自動化技術的研究與應用推廣,如??萍疾拷M織實施的863計劃的CIMS主題、智能機器人主題,“九五”國家科技攻關計劃的CAD應用工程、精密制造技術開發(fā)與應用、數(shù)控技術與裝備、現(xiàn)場總線控制技術開發(fā)與應用、工業(yè)機器人應用、激光技術應用等重點項目;總裝備部(原國防科工委)在“九五”期間,組織實施了我國武器裝備先進制造技術的發(fā)展項目;航空。航天、兵器和機械等許多行業(yè)
和部門在“九五”期間組織實施了行業(yè)先進制造技術項目;國家計委、經(jīng)貿(mào)委等部委在用高技術改造傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)業(yè)方面也推行了一系列計劃。上述計劃和項目極大地推動了我國先進制造與自動化技術的發(fā)展。
綜觀各國先進制造與自動化技術計劃的制定和實施情況可以看到,先進制造和自動化技術的發(fā)展有其深刻的國際經(jīng)濟競爭背景。這些先進制造與自動化技術計劃提出時,即以提高本國制造業(yè)的國際競爭能力、促進經(jīng)濟增長和提高國家綜合實力為目標,既注重技術的超前性,更重視來自產(chǎn)業(yè)界的實際需求;在關鍵技術的選擇上注重系統(tǒng)集成技術與工藝裝備研究開發(fā)并重,通過系統(tǒng)技術、信息技術和自動化技術的引入,提高制造企業(yè)的競爭能力;同時也可以看到,各國在發(fā)展先進制造與自動化技術的過程中,政府通過若干計劃的實施起到了關鍵的引導和調(diào)控作用,并形成了一套有效的研究開發(fā)及推廣應用的管理機制和創(chuàng)新機制。
4 先進制造與自動化技術重大發(fā)展方向
目前制造業(yè)正在從以機器為特征的傳統(tǒng)技術時代向著以信息為特征的系統(tǒng)技術時代邁進,進入了一個能夠增強企業(yè)在不可預見的多變環(huán)境中生存能力的全球化敏捷制造階段。合理開發(fā)利用資源、保護生態(tài)環(huán)境、實現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟一社會相互協(xié)調(diào)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略和綠色制造成為全社會的共識。今后15年制造技術的發(fā)展將超過以往的75年。當前先進制造與自動化技術發(fā)展的主要特點是產(chǎn)品設計制造和企業(yè)管理的信息化、生產(chǎn)過程控制的智能化、生產(chǎn)裝備的數(shù)字化和機器人的與人和諧化。
4.1 產(chǎn)品設計制造和企業(yè)管理的信息化
信息技術在制造業(yè)中的廣泛應用,促進了產(chǎn)品設計制造和企業(yè)管理信息化程度的提高,改變了現(xiàn)代制造企業(yè)的產(chǎn)品設計、產(chǎn)品制造和管理模式。以并行工程、虛擬制造為代表的信息技術的應用提高了創(chuàng)新產(chǎn)品的設計制造水平,以敏捷制造、動態(tài)聯(lián)盟、企業(yè)電子商務為代表的企業(yè)管理技術的應用促進了新型制造企業(yè)的迅速發(fā)展,形成了新型的跨國企業(yè)和基于供應鏈的戰(zhàn)略企業(yè)聯(lián)盟。
4.2生產(chǎn)過程控制的智能化
生產(chǎn)過程的控制是典型的復雜大系統(tǒng)問題,提高生產(chǎn)過程的控制水平和生產(chǎn)效率是工業(yè)界急待解決的具有挑戰(zhàn)性的問題,采用智能化方法進行生產(chǎn)過程控制是一個有前途的發(fā)展方向。采用智能化技術可以解決生產(chǎn)過程控制中存在的強耦合、非線性和不確定性問題,從而顯著提高生產(chǎn)效率和產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量。研制開發(fā)智能化的生產(chǎn)過程控制設備也是發(fā)展高新技術產(chǎn)業(yè)的重要基礎。
4.3生產(chǎn)裝備的數(shù)字化
信息技術的廣泛采用,提高了生產(chǎn)裝備的數(shù)字化程度,從而顯著提高了產(chǎn)品的高技術附加值。生產(chǎn)裝備的數(shù)字化不僅增強了產(chǎn)品的功能和集成能力,提高了產(chǎn)品的市場競爭力和經(jīng)濟效益,還顯著提高了產(chǎn)品的可操作性、可維護性,降低了產(chǎn)品的運行和維護成本。發(fā)展高度數(shù)字化的生產(chǎn)裝備是制造企業(yè)贏得市場競爭的主要手段之一。
4.4機器人的與人和諧化
機器人集當代眾多高技術于一身,特別強調(diào)人機和諧共存。人機和諧共存是機器人進入人類未來工作和生活的基礎,已經(jīng)成為公認的21世紀前沿高技術。目前重點研究的特種機器人有仿人形機器人、水下機器人、醫(yī)用機器人、服務機器人、網(wǎng)絡機器人、軍用機器人、農(nóng)林與農(nóng)副產(chǎn)品加工機器人等等,在航空、航天、能源、交通、海洋、生物、醫(yī)療、服務、農(nóng)業(yè)、軍事和娛樂等領域具有非常廣闊的應用前景。
5 先進制造與自動化技術領域擬解決的問題
“十五”863計劃先進制造與自動化技術領域針對我國國民經(jīng)濟建設的主戰(zhàn)場的重大需求,瞄準國際先進制造與自動化技術前沿,擬有重點地選擇能夠主導21世紀初期我國制造業(yè)發(fā)展和升級的關鍵技術和裝備,促進形成我國先進制造與自動化技術產(chǎn)業(yè)的群體優(yōu)勢,提升我國制造業(yè)綜合競爭能力,實現(xiàn)制造業(yè)的跨躍式發(fā)展;擬有重點地選擇若干涉及國家安全的戰(zhàn)略必爭裝備和競爭前核心技術,實現(xiàn)局部領域的突破和跨越式發(fā)展,打破國外的技術封鎖,在國際相關高技術領域占有一席之地。
5.1 制造業(yè)信息化工程關鍵技術的研究開發(fā)和集成應用

Improved Workpiece Location Accuracy Through Fixture Layout Optimization
Abstract
Inaccuracies in workpiece location lead to errors in position and orientation of a machined feature on the workpiece. The ability to accurately locate a workpiece in a machining fixture is strongly influenced by rigid body displacements of the workpiece caused by elastic deformation of loaded fixture-workpiece contacts. This paper presents a model for improving workpiece location accuracy in fixturing. A discrete elastic contact model is used to represent each fixture-workpiece contact. Reduction in workpiece locating error due to rigid body displacements is achieved through optimal placement of locators and clamps around the workpiece. The layout optimization model is also shown to improve the overall workpiece deflection and reaction force characteristics.
1.Introduction
The accuracy of location of a machined feature depends on the machining fixture’s ability to precisely locate the workpiece relative to the machine tool axes. Workpiece location in a fixture is significantly influenced by localized elastic deformation of the workpiece at the fixturing points. These deformations are caused by the clamping force(s) applied to the workpiece. For a relatively rigid workpiece the localized elastic deformations cause it to undergo rigid body translations and rotations which alter its location with respect to the cutting tool. It is therefore important to minimize such effects through optimal design of the fixture layout.
Previous work in fixture layout optimization has focused on the use of finite element and rigid body models. Menassa and DeVries [1], Rearick et al. [2], Trappey et al. [3], and Cai et al [4] used finite element models of the fixture-workpiece system as input to the layout optimization. In these works the fixture layout design is formulated as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The goal is to determine the positions of locator-clamp pairs that will minimize a nonlinear function of the elastic deformation at selected points on the workpiece. Such a formulation requires solution of the complete finite element model during each iteration of the optimization process. Hence, the technique is computationally intensive.
DeMeter [5] presented a min-max algorithm to determine the optimal fixture layout and clamping force intensity that minimizes the maximum contact force. In this study the workpiece and fixture were assumed to be perfectly rigid. Such a formulation does not allow the effect of workpiece displacement on locating errors to be minimized directly. Recently, Gui et al [6] reported a model for improving workpiece location accuracy by optimizing the clamping force. They model the elasticity of fixtureworkpiece contacts using linear springs of known stiffness. However, methods for determining the contact stiffness are not addressed. In addition, the fixture layout is assumed fixed for a given workpiece and cutting force system.
This paper presents a method that directly minimizes workpiece location errors due to localized elastic deformation of the workpiece at the fixturing points by optimally placing the locators and clamps around the workpiece. The method considers the fixtureworkpiece contact to be linearly elastic and uses closed-form contact stiffness models derived from well-known contact mechanics problems. Also, the method outlined here is computationally less intensive than the finite element approach.
The following sections give details of the underlying models and constraints used to formulate the fixture layout optimization procedure. Model simulations are presented to demonstrate the ability of the method to minimize workpiece location errors through optimal arrangement of locators and clamps.
2.Fixture Layout Optimization
Fixture layout optimization requires formulation of an objective function and constraints. In this paper our objective is to minimize the effect of localized elastic deformation of the workpiece at the fixturing points on workpiece location. As stated earlier, the elastic deformations cause the workpiece to undergo a rigid body motion, which in turn shifts the workpiece location. The objective function for optimization is constructed as follows. Objective Function Formulation. Consider a solid rectangular workpiece held in a fixture consisting of several locators and clamps (see Figure 1). The fixture is typically very rigid compared to the workpiece. It can hence be assumed that the locators do not undergo any rigid body displacement. In contrast, forces acting on the workpiece at the locating and clamping points cause the workpiece to translate and rotate in the global coordinate system. Assume that the rigid body motion of the workpiece due to normal and tangential elastic deformations at the ith fixturing point is given by vector δ i=[δ δ δ ] xiyizi T . Note that the components of δ i are expressed in the local coordinate system fixed to the ith point. Geometric transformations are applied so that the rigid bodymotion due to deformation at the ith fixturing point is expressed in the global coordinatesystem as:
where Tgi is a general rotation matrix that transforms quantities expressed in the ith local coordinate system into the global coordinate system. Thus, the total rigid body motion ofthe workpiece due to elastic deformations at all the fixturing points is:
where N is the total number of locators and clamps.
In order to minimize the effect of rigid body motion on workpiece location, a quadratic objective function for fixture layout optimization can now be formulated as follows:
Note that the above expression is not an explicit function of the fixture element positions.But the rigid body motion δ i , and therefore Δ , is dependent on the fixturing forces which are in turn uniquely determined by the layout of fixturing points and elastic contact properties. Hence, changing the fixture layout changes the value of the objective function indirectly.
Fixture-Workpiece Contact Constraints. The fixture-workpiece system is subject toseveral contact constraints that the optimum fixture layout must also satisfy. In particular, constraints specifying the geometric compatibility of elastic deformation andfrictional resistance are needed. These constraints are developed using a discrete elasticcontact modeling approach similar to that of Conry and Seireg [7], and Sinha and Abel[8].
The workpiece is assumed to be elastic in the contact region and rigid elsewhere.The fixture is assumed to be completely rigid. At each fixturing point a square contact surface tangent to the fixture and workpiece surfaces is assumed. The contact surface isdiscretized into a grid containing M square elements as shown in Figure 2. A distributed normal force of intensity p ji and a distributed friction force of intensity (q) (q) xjiyj2 i 2 +are assumed to act across an arbitrary element j of the ith contact surface. The total normal ( Pi ) and friction (Qi ) forces acting at the ith fixturing point are then given by:
The localized deformation at a fixturing point causes distant points in the workpiece to undergo a rigid body motion in the normal direction given by δ zi . If s ji isthe initial separation of the fixture and workpiece surfaces for the jth element at the ith fixturing point, the normal deformation, wji , must satisfy the following contact condition[9]:
The equality sign applies to points that lie inside the equilibrium contact area and the
inequality sign for outside points.
Orthogonal components of tangential deformation, uji and v ji , produced by the frictional forces acting at a fixturing point lead to tangential rigid body motions δ δ xiy, i ,respectively. The deformation and rigid body motion should satisfy the following geometric compatibility conditions [9]:
where the equality and inequality signs apply for slip and no slip cases, respectively.
Contact Deformation Model.The workpiece is assumed to be a linear elastic solid in the vicinity of the fixturing points. Hence, by linear superposition, the normal deformation in the jth element of the ith contact region can be written as:
where e e e jknjkxjk, , y are the flexibility influence coefficients for deformation in the normal direction due to fixturing forces in the normal (n) and tangential directions (x, y).Similarly, the x and y components of tangential deformation are given by:
where are the normal and tangential flexibility influence coefficients for workpiece deformation in the local x and y directions at the ith fixturing point, respectively.
In this paper the influence coefficients are derived from closed-form solutions for
the contact compliance of an elastic half-space subjected to distributed normal and tangential loads. Details of the influence coefficient models may be found in [8, 9].
Contact Friction Constraint. Coulomb friction is assumed to apply at each fixturing point. This implies a nonlinear relation between the normal and frictional forces acting at a fixturing point, i.e., (q) (q) p xj where μ s is the coefficient of static friction for the fixture-workpiece material pair. For simplicity, a linearized version of this constraint is used:
Static Equilibrium Constraint. The workpiece must be in static equilibrium after application of fixturing forces at the selected points. This constraint is given by the following force and moment equilibrium equations:
ΣF = 0 (12)
ΣM = 0 (13)
where the forces and moments are expressed in terms of the elemental normal ( p ji ) and tangential forces ( qxji , qyji ) acting at the contact surface for each fixturing point.
Clamping Force Constraint. When the clamping force applied by the clamps isspecified, it is necessary that the sum of the elemental normal forces at the clampingpoint equal the specified force. This constraint is expressed as follows:
where C is the number of clamps in the fixture. In this paper the clamping force isassumed to be known. In general however the clamping force could be treated as adesign variable in the layout optimization process [5].
Fixture Element Position Constraints. The fixture layout optimization procedure seeksto find the optimal locations of the fixturing points. In general, fixture element positionson a workpiece datum surface cannot be chosen randomly and are often constrained bythe geometric complexity of the workpiece surfaces, size and location of the features tobe machined, and other process related issues. Hence, the position of a fixture element isrestricted to a bounded region on the datum surface. In this paper each fixture elementposition is constrained to lie inside a convex polygonal region. A sequence of orderedstraight edges represents each convex polygon. Mathematically, the system of linearinequalities constructed from the line equations for all ordered edges (for N fixturingpoints) is used to specify the bounded region:
A X C p p p ≤ (15)
Where
And
The elements of Ai and ci are coefficients of the line equations of the polygon edges usedto specify the polygon boundary for the ith point, xi is the position vector (global) to the ithpoint on the workpiece surface, and li is the number of ordered edges making up thebounding polygon for the ith point.The above inequalities can now be used to easily establish the location of afixturing point relative to its polygon boundary. Points inside or on the boundarycompletely satisfy the above inequalities whereas points outside the bounded region do not [10].
Layout Optimization Model. The complete fixture layout optimization problem cannow be formally stated as follows:
Minimize :
Subject to:
Bounds: pji ≥ 0
i = 1, …, N; j = 1, …, M; k = 1, …, C
Note that the normal compatibility constraint has been multiplied by -1 to convert it intoa ≤ type inequality. Also, by definition, the friction force components qxji and qxji lie inthe contact surface plane, and p ji is assumed to be positive when directed into the9workpiece surface.
3.Solution Method
A nonlinear programming method is used to solve the above layout optimizationproblem. Specifically, Zoutendijk’s method of feasible direction [11] is used. Thismethod is similar to that used by DeMeter [5] and involves the solution of the followinggeneral nonlinear program:
Minimize f(x)
Subject to Gx ≤ b (linear inequality constraint)
H(x) = 0 (nonlinear equality constraint)
Ex = e (linear equality constraint)
where x is the feasible solution. For the nonlinear program given in equation (16) the
solution x =[F δ X ] pT
where:
Note that in addition to position of the fixturing points, Xp, the solution procedure treats
the fixturing forces F and rigid body motion δ also as design variables during theoptimization process. This is because the fixturing forces and rigid body motion dependon the fixture layout and are determined uniquely for each layout by the physics of theproblem.
The first linear inequality constraint is constructed by combining all the inequality constraints given in equation (16). The second nonlinear constraint arises from themoment equilibrium equation in (16). Finally, the linear equality constraint equation isconstructed by combining all the equality constraints listed in (16). For the problem athand, G, H, and E result in matrices with the following sizes: [(4MN+N liiN= Σ1) x(3MN+6N)], [3 x (3MN+6N)], and [(3+C) x (3MN+6N)]. Note that x is a [(3MN+6N) x1] column vector.
The method of feasible directions solves the nonlinear program by moving from a initial feasible solution to an improved feasible solution. This is accomplished in four steps: a) find initial feasible solution, b) determine line search direction, c) determine step size, d) solve quadratic program. By iterating between steps (b) and (d) furtherimprovements in the feasible solution can be obtained. Mathematical details of step (b)through (d) can be found in reference [11].
The initial feasible solution x is obtained by solving the elastic fixture-workpiececontact model for the initial layout. This is done by minimizing the total complementaryenergy for the fixture-workpiece system. Details of the solution procedure andexperimental validation can be found in [7, 8, 12]. Note that the contact model needs tobe solved only once at the beginning to obtain the initial feasible solution. Thereafter,the layout optimization model relies on the contact constraints and the contactdeformation model to compute valid rigid body displacements and fixturing forces.
4.Results and Discussion
The fixture layout optimization model and solution algorithm has been implemented in MATLAB (version 5.0). The capability of the model is illustrated through an example. Consider the initial fixture layout shown in Figure 3. This layout uses a "4-2-1" location scheme with two simultaneously actuated hydraulic clamps to hold the workpiece against the locators. Table 1 lists the positions and orientations of thefixture elements in the initial layout. Locators L1-L4 and clamps C1-C2 have sphericaltips while locators L5-L7 have small area planar tips (area = 63 mm2). A clamping forceof 703 N is assumed to act at each clamping point. The workpiece is a 127mm x 127mmx 382 mm block of Aluminum 7075-T6. The Young's modulus (E) and Poisson’s ratio(ν) for the workpiece are 70.3 GPa and 0.354 respectively, and 201 GPa and 0.296respectively for the fixture elements.
The initial feasible solution vector x is computed by solving the fixture-workpiececontact model for the initial fixture layout using the minimum complementary energymethod. The layout optimization problem is then solved using the four step iterationprocedure outlined in the previous section. The fixture element position constraints usedfor this problem are given in Table 2. The improved fixture layout that minimizes the11effects of rigid body motion is given in Table 1. The objective function value is reducedfrom 528 μm2 to 426 μm2.
The impact of the optimization process on the fixture layout is shown in Figure 4.The initial fixture layout was intentionally designed to violate well-known empirical“l(fā)ocating rules” [13]. For instance, it is standard practice to position the locators on adatum surface as far apart as possible. This is done to ensure the best possible locationalstability of the workpiece. In the initial layout, locators L1-L2 and L4-L7 clearly do notsatisfy this rule. Also, the initial position of clamps C1 and C2 do not provide adequateclamping stability. It is clear from Figure 4 and Table 1 that the layout optimizationmodel gives a solution that supports the empirical rules. Specifically, L1 and L2 arepushed as far apart as possible. Also, locators L4-L7 are spread out on the primarydatum plane so as to include the projected center of gravity of the workpiece inside thebounding polygon formed by joining L4-L7. This improves workpiece stability in thefixture. The new position of clamp C1 is approximately half-way between locators L1and L2. Similarly, clamp C2 and locator L3 directly oppose each other in the improved lay out.
If, for simplicity, only the normal component of rigid body motion ( δ z ) isconsidered, it can be shown through suitable geometric transformations that the locationerror, Ep, of a point P on the workpiece is reduced by the optimization process surface(see Figure 5). For instance, the location error of the point (30, 100, 19.1) decreases from15.3 μm for the initial fixture layout to 11.7 μm for the improved layout. Thus, thefixture layout optimization model and solution procedure described above improve workpiece location accuracy by minimizing the effect of workpiece rigid bodydisplacement.
Finite Element Analysis. In order to further analyze the effect of the fixturelayout optimization process on overall workpiece deformation a finite element model wasconstructed using ANSYS? (version 5.3). The locators were modeled as displacementconstraints that prevent workpiece translation in the normal direction. The clampingforce was modeled as a uniformly distributed force acting over the workpiece-clampcontact area.
The deflection of the top surface of the workpiece (i.e., the surface to bemachined) is shown for the initial and improved fixture layouts in Figures 6 and 7,respectively. The initial fixture layout shows a significant deflection gradient across thetop surface of the workpiece. Deflection magnitudes range from 0.25 x 10-4 mm to 0.76 x10-2 mm. In general a large variation in deflection magnitudes is not desirable. On theother hand, the improved fixture layout produces a relatively uniform distribution ofdeflections that range from 0.10 x 10-2 mm to 0.19 x 10-2 mm. The maximum deflectionof the top surface is much less for the improved layout (0.19 x 10-2 mm compared to 0.76x 10-2 mm). Also, the reaction forces at L1 and L2 are 638.05 N and 65.31 Nrespectively for the initial layout, and 327.20 N and 376.16 N respectively for theimproved layout. Thus reaction forces in the improved layout are more uniformlydistributed than the initial layout.
Therefore the optimization process produces a fixture layout that improves theoverall workpiece deflection and reaction force characteristics in addition to improvingworkpiece location accuracy.
5.Conclusions
The paper presented a fixture layout optimization model for improving thelocation accuracy of the workpiece when clamped in a machining fixture. Theinaccuracy in workpiece location was due to rigid body motion of the workpieceproduced by the localized elastic deformation at the fixturing points. A discretizedelastic contact model of the fixture-workpiece interaction was used to develop t
