This paper proposes a methodology which aims to fi ll the gap in the area of automated fi xture design. The approach is based on detailed consideration, analysis, and synthesis of all operating requirements related to automated defi nition of possible workpiece locating schemes for machining processes. Reviewed in the paper are the system concept, functions, and a case study.
