One design method of modular fixture MC-oriented based on the CAD platforms

Viewing from the processing system,the author researched and analyzed some key technologies for computer aided design to the modular fixture among several popular CAD platforms( Inventor,Solidworks,Catia,etc.). The principal measures were proposed as follow: the modular fixture components vault should be setup based on the CAD platform firstly,and then call the needed parts successively according to the position and clamping demand of working operation,finally,the modular fixture assembly structure can be derived. The writer presented the key creation techniques for the feature model vault of modular fixture parts and the deducting methods for computer aided design to the MC- oriented modular fixture among each CAD platform.
