Dynamic Balancing of Turning Fixture using Software Simulators-A Review

Abstract

Function of a fixture is to clamp, locate and orient a part without causing deformation in part or fixture element. All the turning fixture when not balanced, causes many problems. The present study focuses on the review of dynamic balancing of a turning fixtures. Many authors have worked on the balancing methods for fixtures. The review has identified a gap for balancing fixtures using software simulators as many have worked on analytical and experimental approach, but no one have used software simulators as their primary tool. Using software simulators, one can balance a fixture accurately without any physical damage on the fixture.
