vertical cl<strong>amp</strong>s are generally placed within the region bounded by the vertical supports such that no<br />

rotational movement is generated due to activation of the cl<strong>amp</strong>s (see Figure 3.10[d]). This allows any<br />

force exerted by the vertical cl<strong>amp</strong> fixture modules to be generally supported by the vertical supports<br />

underneath the workpiece in that region.<br />

As the contact points are chosen, the three necessary coordinates, PCX , PCY , and PCZ ,<br />

of the chosen<br />

contact point are determined by transforming the CAD model coordinates into real world coordinates.<br />

The screw theory may be used to perform the kinematic analysis (described in the next section) of the<br />

fixture layout. The approach requires generating the wrenches acting on the workpiece. The wrenches<br />

(i.e., Plücker coordinates) for each contact point are equivalent to the components of the face normals<br />
