Fixture Planning of Valve-Body Part Based on Machining Capability of NC Machining Center

To solve the problem that fixture planning of the batch valve-body part of car, the NC machining process of the batch valve-body parts based on the normal vector is analyzed in this paper. The different fixture planning of the valve-body part based on the capabilities of three-axis and four-axis and five-axis NC machining center (MC) is discussed. According to the questions that the feature of different machined position holes and faces of valve-body part on three-axis NC machining center, the multi-piece fixture planning and multi-position rotational fixture planning are designed. The results indicate that the proposed fixture planning can improve the machining productivity, which based on cabapility of three-axis NC machining center (MC).
