Song?, Y. RongCAM Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 100 Institute Rd, Worcester, MA 01609, USAReceived 14 September 2004; received in revised form 9 November 2004; accepted 10 November 2004AbstractGeometry constraint is one of the most important considerations in fixture design. Analytical formulation of deterministiclocation has been well developed. However, how to analyze and revise a non-deterministic locating scheme during the process ofactual fixture design practice has not been thoroughly studied. In this paper, a methodology to characterize fixturing systemsgeometry constraint status with focus on under-constraint is proposed. An under-constraint status, if it exists, can be recognizedwith given locating scheme. All un-constrained motions of a workpiece in an under-constraint status can be automatically identified.This assists the designer to improve deficit locating scheme and provides guidelines for revision to eventually achieve deterministiclocating.r 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

IntroductionA fixture is a mechanism used in manufacturing operations to hold a workpiece firmly in position. Being a crucialstep in process planning for machining parts, fixture design needs to ensure the positional accuracy and dimensionalaccuracy of a workpiece. In general, 3-2-1 principle is the most widely used guiding principle for developing a locationscheme. V-block and pin-hole locating principles are also commonly used.A location scheme for a machining fixture must satisfy a number of requirements. The most basic requirement is thatit must provide deterministic location for the workpiece 1. This notion states that a locator scheme producesdeterministic location when the workpiece cannot move without losing contact with at least one locator. This has beenone of the most fundamental guidelines for fixture design and studied by many researchers. Concerning geometryconstraint status, a workpiece under any locating scheme falls into one of the following three categories:1. Well-constrained (deterministic): The workpiece is mated at a unique position when six locators are made to contactthe workpiece surface.2. Under-constrained: The six degrees of freedom of workpiece are not fully constrained.3. Over-constrained: The six degrees of freedom of workpiece are constrained by more than six locators.In 1985, Asada and By 1 proposed full rank Jacobian matrix of constraint equations as a criterion and formed thebasis of analytical investigations for deterministic locating that followed. Chou et al. 2 formulated the deterministiclocating problem using screw theory in 1989. It is concluded that the locating wrenches matrix needs to be full rank toachieve deterministic location. This method has been adopted by numerous studies as well. Wang et al. 3 consideredARTICLE IN PRESS/locate/rcim0736-5845/$-see front matter r 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Song).locatorworkpiece contact area effects instead of applying point contact. They introduced a contact matrix andpointed out that two contact bodies should not have equal but opposite curvature at contacting point. Carlson 4suggested that a linear approximation may not be sufficient for some applications such as non-prismatic surfaces ornon-small relative errors. He proposed a second-order Taylor expansion which also takes locator error interaction intoaccount. Marin and Ferreira 5 applied Chous formulation on 3-2-1 location and formulated several easy-to-followplanning rules. Despite the numerous analytical studies on deterministic location, less attention was paid to analyzenon-deterministic location.In the Asada and Bys formulation, they assumed frictionless and point contact between fixturing elements andworkpiece. The desired location is q*, at which a workpiece is to be positioned and piecewisely differentiable surfacefunction is gi(as shown in Fig. 1).The surface function is defined as giq? 0: To be deterministic, there should be a unique solution for the followingequation set for all locators.giq 0;i 1;2;.;n,(1)where n is the number of locators and q x0;y0;z0;y0;f0;c0? represents the position and orientation of theworkpiece.Only considering the vicinity of desired location q?; where q q? Dq; Asada and By showed thatgiq giq? hiDq,(2)where hiis the Jacobian matrix of geometry functions, as shown by the matrix in Eq. (3). The deterministic locatingrequirement can be satisfied if the Jacobian matrix has full rank, which makes the Eq.

If the rank is less than six, the workpiece is under-constrained, i.e., there exists at least one freemotion of the workpiece that is not constrained by locators. If the matrix has full rank but the locating scheme hasmore than six locators, the workpiece is over-constrained, which indicates there exists at least one locator such that itcan be removed without affecting the geometry constrain status of the workpiece.For locating a model other than 3-2-1, datum frame can be established to extract equivalent locating points. Hu 6has developed a systematic approach for this purpose. Hence, this criterion can be applied to all locating schemes.ARTICLE IN PRESSX Y Z O X Y Z O (x0,y0,z0) gi UCS WCS Workpiece Fig. 1. Fixturing system model.H. Song, Y. Rong / Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing 21 (2005) 368378369Kang et al. 7 followed these methods and implemented them to develop a geometry constraint analysis module intheir automated computer-aided fixture design verification system. Their CAFDV system can calculate the Jacobianmatrix and its rank to determine locating completeness. It can also analyze the workpiece displacement and sensitivityto locating error.Xiong et al. 8 presented an approach to check the rank of locating matrix WL(see Appendix). They also intro-duced left/right generalized inverse of the locating matrix to analyze the geometric errors of workpiece. It hasbeen shown that the position and orientation errors DX of the workpiece and the position errors Dr of locators arerelated as follows:Well-constrained :DX WLDr,(4)Over-constrained :DX WTLWL?1WTLDr,(5)Under-constrained :DX WTLWLWTL?1Dr I6?6? WTLWLWTL?1WLl,(6)where l is an arbitrary vector.They further introduced several indexes derived from those matrixes to evaluate locator configurations, followed byoptimization through constrained nonlinear programming. Their analytical study, however, does not concern therevision of non-deterministic locating. Currently, there is no systematic study on how to deal with a fixture design thatfailed to provide deterministic location.2. Locating completeness evaluationIf deterministic location is not achieved by designed fixturing system, it is as important for designers to knowwhat the constraint status is and how to improve the design. If the fixturing system is over-constrained, informa-tion about the unnecessary locators is desired. While under-constrained occurs, the knowledge about all the un-constrained motions of a workpiece may guide designers to select additional locators and/or revise the locatingscheme more efficiently. A general strategy to characterize geometry constraint status of a locating scheme is describedin Fig. 2.In this paper, the rank of locating matrix is exerted to evaluate geometry constraint status (see Appendixfor derivation of locating matrix). The deterministic locating requires six locators that provide full rank locatingmatrix WL:As shown in Fig. 3, for given locator number n; locating normal vector ai;bi;ci? and locating position xi;yi;zi? foreach locator, i 1;2;.;n; the n ? 6 locating matrix can be determined as follows:WLa1b1c1c1y1? b1z1a1z1? c1x1b1x1? a1y1:aibiciciyi? biziaizi? cixibixi? aiyi:anbncncnyn? bnznanzn? cnxnbnxn? anyn2666666437777775.(7)When rankWL 6 and n 6; the workpiece is well-constrained.When rankWL 6 and n46; the workpiece is over-constrained. This means there are n ? 6 unnecessary locatorsin the locating scheme. The workpiece will be well-constrained without the presence of those n ? 6 locators. Themathematical representation for this status is that there are n ? 6 row vectors in locating matrix that can be expressedas linear combinations of the other six row vectors. The locators corresponding to that six row vectors consist oneARTICLE IN PRESSTable 1RankNumber of locatorsStatuso 6Under-constrained 6 6Well-constrained 646Over-constrainedH. Song, Y.

The developed algorithm uses the following approach todetermine the unnecessary locators:1. Find all the combination of n ? 6 locators.2. For each combination, remove that n ? 6 locators from locating scheme.3. Recalculate the rank of locating matrix for the left six locators.4. If the rank remains unchanged, the removed n ? 6 locators are responsible for over-constrained status.This method may yield multi-solutions and require designer to determine which set of unnecessary locators shouldbe removed for the best locating performance.When rankWLo6; the workpiece is under-constrained.3.

(11) illustrates the dependency relationships among row vectors of Wr: In special cases, say, all w1jequal to zero,V has an obvious solution 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, indicating displacement along the x-axis is not constrained. This is easy tounderstand because Dx 0 in this case, implying that the corresponding position error of the workpiece is notdependent of any locator errors. Hence, the associated motion is not constrained by locators. Moreover, a combinedmotion is not constrained if one of the elements in DX can be expressed as linear combination of other elements. Forinstance, 9w1ja0;w2ja0; w1j ?w2jfor 8j: In this scenario, the workpiece cannot move along x- or y-axis. However, itcan move along the diagonal line between x- and y-axis defined by vector 1, 1, 0.To find solutions for general cases, the following strategy was developed:1.

Repeat step 4 (select another term from Q) and step 5 until all 6 ? r basic solutions have been determined.Based on this algorithm, a C+ program was developed to identify the under-constrained status and un-constrained motions.Example 1. In a surface grinding operation, a workpiece is located on a fixture system as shown in Fig. 4. The normalvector and position of each locator are as follows:L1:0, 0, 10, 1, 3, 00,L2:0, 0, 10, 3, 3, 00,L3:0, 0, 10, 2, 1, 00,L4:0, 1, 00, 3, 0, 20,L5:0, 1, 00, 1, 0, 20.Consequently, the locating matrix is determined.WL0013?100013?300011?20010?203010?2012666666437777775.ARTICLE IN PRESSH.

Theother five rows are independent rows. A linear combination of the independent rows is found according therequirement in step 5 of the procedure for under-constrained status. The solution for this special case is obvious that allthe coefficients are zero. Hence, the un-constrained motion of workpiece can be determined as V ?1; 0; 0; 0; 0; 0?:This indicates that the workpiece can move along x direction. Based on this result, an additional locator should beemployed to constraint displacement of workpiece along x-axis.Example 2. Fig. 5 shows a knuckle with 3-2-1 locating system. The normal vector and position of each locator in thisinitial design are as follows:L1:0, 1, 00, 896, ?877, ?5150,L2:0, 1, 00, 1060, ?875, ?3780,L3:0, 1, 00, 1010, ?959, ?6120,L4:0.9955, ?0.0349, 0.0880, 977, ?902, ?6240,L5:0.9955, ?0.0349, 0.0880, 977, ?866, ?6240,L6:0.088, 0.017, ?0.9960, 1034, ?864, ?3590.The locating matrix of this configuration isWL010515:000:8960010378:001:0600010612:001:01000:9955?0:03490:0880?101:2445?707:26640:86380:9955?0:03490:0880?98:0728?707:26640:82800:08800:0170?0:9960866:6257998:24660:093626666666643777777775,rankWL 5o6 reveals that the workpiece is under-constrained.

To revise this locating configuration, another locator shouldbe added to constrain this free motion of the workpiece, assuming locator L1was removed in step 1. The program canalso calculate the free motions of the workpiece if a locator other than L1was removed in step 1. This provides morerevision options for designer.4. SummaryDeterministic location is an important requirement for fixture locating scheme design. Analytical criterion fordeterministic status has been well established. To further study non-deterministic status, an algorithm for checking thegeometry constraint status has been developed. This algorithm can identify an under-constrained status and indicatethe un-constrained motions of workpiece. It can also recognize an over-constrained status and unnecessary locators.The output information can assist designer to analyze and improve an existing locating scheme.Appendix.
