An Axiomatic Design View on Part Orientation Schemes
Keyword(s):
the paper proposes an axiomatic design view of orientation schemes used in fixture design, in context of using the axiomatic design rules and guidance to fixture design. In this paper the axiomatic design, matrix and rules are applied to orientation schemes in order to see what kind of designs result (uncoupled, decoupled) and how can be applied the information axiom to choose among the orientation schemes that one (s) that are best suited for the declared purposes-minimum orientation errors.
