Locator Layout Optimization for Checking Fixture Design of Thin-Walled Parts

Abstract:

The location of a checked part is one of the most critical and complicated problems in the checking fixture design (CFD) for thin-walled parts with less stiffness. The unreasonable layout of locators will give rise to the high deflection of the checked part and affect measure accuracy. Based on the “N-2-1” locating principle, an optimization method is presented to determine the locator layout, where the finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate the maximal deformation of the work piece which is used to be an objective function of optimization, and the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with fine performance of global convergence is adopted as an optimization solver to seek for the optima. Finally, a case study is presented to verify the proposed method.
