Verification of a kind of screw-driven clamping mechanism based on Virtual Prototype Technology

Screw-driven clamping fixture, it´s external or internal force and deformation may be the direct cause of manufacturing precision, is one of absolutely necessary parts for manufacturing process. An effective way of predicting the movement and force of the screw-driven clamping is proposed in this paper based on mathematical methods and numerical simulation. As an example, a kind of screw-driven fixture model and the simulation results can be achieved based on ADAMS. And the prediction of movement and force can be applied for further improving the overall design of the fixture so as to check on the reasonableness of the fixture design.
