Experimental Research Regarding Static Rigidity in Transversal Direction of “Narrow“ Modules from Modular Fixtures Structure

Abstract:

In the paper a research methodology was developed and used to determine the rigidity in transversal direction of modular fixture structures. The paper presents experimental results regarding the total deformation of modular structure consisting of ”narrow” modules from modular kits. The research conducted showed the different evolution of deformation curves in the case of modular structure, with different shape and different sizes of modules, in the case of similar loads. The experimental results indicate displacements of the entire modular structure alongside the base plate and, also, tilting. The measured deviations of modules from fixture structure may cause "dimensional"/ position deviations (linear displacement of the measurement base) and deviations of shape and orientation-position (angular displacement of the measurement base) of the workpiece during severe machining conditions.
