Design and Application of Flexible Fixture

The flexible fixture has been applied in many areas because it can adapt to the workpiece shape and size change, such as aircraft integral structure parts manufacturing, and air surface parts manufacturing, aircraft assembly. Due to the use of flexible fixture, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost and improves the production efficiency. In this paper, the design of flexible clamping platform is studied and the application is showed in a case. Through comparing the simulated results, it is found that flexible fixture with the follow-up support has higher accuracy.
