Construction and Expression of Database for Computer-Aided Welding Fixture Design (CAWFD) Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

Welding fixture can ensure welding dimension, improve assembly precision and efficiency. It can prevent the welding deformation. The function of welding fixture was introduced in this paper. The Classification of welding fixture component was described. Information tree and the database tables to save the unit information are designed. The unit information retrieval menu and interface based on UG, Visual C++ and database is realized.
