Abstract
A methodology is suggested for workholding which is motivated by the unmanned flexible manufacturing system (FMS) environment. The author develops tooling standards compatible with minimum setup workholding practice by analogies to other successful FMS installations. Current theoretical aspects of workholding are reviewed, and some novel techniques are proposed. The relationship between part shape, tooling, and workholding in a model FMS domain is shown
