Abstract:How to increase the efficiency and the quality of machine tool fixture design is an important research object of computer-aided technology equipment. The reconfigurable modular fixture design integrated of axiomatic design and design structure matrix was provided on the background of planning schedule of reconfigurable fixture modular and modular series. The method emphasized on merging common unit and reusing knowledge and process in fixture design

built relationships between components with design structure matrix so as to construct rational fixture modular structure

and transformed reconfigurable modules to rapidly achieve fixture design. Finally

a case was given to illustrate how to achieve the reconfigurable modular fixture design by the method.
