The Research And Development On Computer-aided Fixture Design System

The modular fixture is developed on the base of standardization, specification, catenation of the component of the fixture. Using the fixture, it can save time and material on designing, shorten the produce periods, assured the product quality. The CAFD system achieves the fictitious assemble of the fixture, and conquers the defect of low rate because of assembling by person. It can improve the productivity and lighten the working intension. This text takes further research on AutoCAD using the language VC++ and the technology of ObjectARX. It establishes the frame and the system structure of the CAFD. It achieves the arrangement storage of the fixture compontents and it also researches the orientation methods of the fixture. This text achieves the function of auto selection of the component, and the fixture assembling. It also achieves the function of generating the report-forms automatically after assembling.
