“…Dedicated fixtures can be component-integrated fixture features (CFFs), feature-based fixturing (FBF), robot-based fixtures (RBFs), flexible fixtures (FFs), modular + singular flex and fixture systems (M + SFFSs), and fixture change systems (FCSs). Though the number of product variants in the automobile industry will not change significantly in the long-term trend, the trend of individualization of part geometry will increase the diversity in shapes and forms of the automobile [14] and aeroengine [15] components. The rapid development of dedicated fixtures is also explained by their potential to be quickly adopted in computer-integrated manufacturing environments [16].…”

In the conditions of the increase in the range of products in the automobile and aircraft industry, there is a tendency to increase the scope of application of flexible fixtures. Thus, in the current article, it was proposed to consider a new concept of a flexible fixture for location parts of a complex shape. The stress and deflection of the steering knuckle elements were calculated using finite element modeling. During the experiment on the static loading, the deflection of the steering knuckle elements was measured, and the results of finite element modeling were validated. It was determined that the stiffness of the proposed flexible fixture ensures compliance with the tolerances of the mutual location of the surfaces of the part, making it reasonable for feature research the novel flexible fixture design during milling.

The importance of sustainability and reducing CO2 emissions to tackle climate change has long been recognized in the automotive industry. A key area of consideration is production itself. Until now, existing systems and equipment have often been put into storage or scrapped when products are changed, even though they could still be put to good use in other production lines. The potential lies in counteracting the waste of resources through circular resources, so that production itself becomes more sustainable. At the same time, production will become even more flexible, as it should be possible to book equipment as required and only pay for it during the utilization phase. This can become a competitive advantage for companies as it enables them to react to rapid product changes and fluctuating demand. The paper looks at the opportunities for companies to use circular equipment using the example of clamping fixtures but also highlights the current challenges that prevent their use in practice. In addition to identifying the potential of digitalization and the linking of individual life cycles, the complexity of a life cycle assessment of operating resources is shown on the one hand and what is possible with the result on the other. The new “Equipment as a Service” business model for renting equipment will also be highlighted and the associated issues of responsibility and billing will be discussed.
