When a cutting <strong>for</strong>ce OT clamping <strong>for</strong>ce is direct& toward the region that cannot be supported at all by<br />
future companents, part deflection may be unacceptable. Figure 3-12 shows some cases where part<br />
deflection due to cutring or clamping <strong>for</strong>ce is difficult to prevent <strong>with</strong> modular future components. When<br />
a candidate setup is suggested, a human expert may detect such part defleXion by investigating part<br />
gemeuy and cuuing <strong>for</strong>ces be<strong>for</strong>e generating fixture plans.<br />

In this chapter, variws analytical tools have been presented to automaticauy check fiMuring<br />
requirements. While interference checking and pan rotation checking due to clamping can be done rather<br />
precisely, a comptation of the clamping <strong>for</strong>oe and pal deflection checking need to be done conservatively<br />
because it is not possible to establish accurate models <strong>for</strong> the analysis. When imqmmed into a sysrem<br />
that gematm fixlure plans, these tools can be uswf to automatically identify valid fim p h <strong>with</strong> either<br />
clamp or a vise.
