An Approach to Determine Clamping Forces and Clamping Sequence of Thin-Walled Workpiece during Milling Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The clamping force and clamping sequence in the process of thin-walled parts is an important factor affecting the quality of the workpiece. This article focused on solving the parts clamping force of the locating point and clamping sequence, according to the process of clamping force on the workpiece, by the means of screw theory and the minimum modulus principle, taking the contact friction into account, the article established a mathematical model. Furthermore, a new approach to optimize clamping and clamping sequence has been put forward combining Matlab optimization toolbox, which provided guidance basic theory for the preload design of the clamping process and flexible clamping. Finally a detailed discussion was conducted to the calculation of clamping force and clamping sequence by using some practical examples.
