Summary: | This paper proposes an adaptive pin-array fixture. The key idea of this
research is to use the shape-memorable mechanism of pin array to fix multiple
different shaped parts with common pin configuration. The clamping area
consists of a matrix of passively slid-able pins that conform themselves to the
contour of the target object. Vertical motion of the pins enables the fixture
to encase the profile of the object. The shape memorable mechanism is realized
by the combination of the rubber bush and fixing mechanism of a pin. Several
physical peg-in-hole tasks is conducted to verify the feasibility of the
fixture. |
