Abstract
With the advancement in the latest technologies and the competitiveness in the market of the modern era, the custom design fixtures for a specific workpiece are very time consuming and expensive to manufacture, but also they are not having the enough flexibility to tackle with the components or assemblies of the different geometry and sizes. This is truly an unwilling situation in the manufacturing to deliver a wide variation in the parts or products for the marketplace. Hence, the selection of appropriate holding devices affects the cost and quality of manufactured components. This paper presents the state-of-the-art review on developments in the fixtures for flexible manufacturing.
