Table 4 Comparison of part deformation and assembly gap under different fixture layout
From: Optimization of Fixture Number in Large Thin-Walled Parts Assembly Based on IPSO
Fixture layout | Mean gap (mm) | Max gap (mm) | Mean deformation (mm) | Max deformation (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Uniform layout of 42 fixtures | 1.32 | 1.86 | 0.78 | 4.53 |
Optimized layout of 32 fixtures | 0.37 | 0.69 | 0.36 | 2.20 |
Reduction percentage (%) | 72.0 | 62.9 | 53.8 | 51.4 |
