The thesis is to develop an automated clamping fixture for scroll manu-facture. Currently, manual fixtures are used to clamp the scroll work pieces, requiring sequential manual operations and resulting in variations in clamping force due to different operators. This leads to inefficiencies in production and inconsistent quality in the processing of scroll. Therefore, this thesis proposes an automated fixture incorporating a hydraulic drive system to replace the ex-isting manual fixture. This will significantly reduce the clamping time required for scroll manufacture and maintain a stable quality.
The results of this study indicate that by changing the clamping method from manual to hydraulic automatic clamping, the clamping time can be re-duced to within 1 second. Furthermore, by introducing hydraulic pressure and establishing a hydraulic principle diagram, the force of each clamping can be stabilized and the correct sequence ensured. Through ANSYS simulation analysis, it was found that the deformation of the scroll clamping was con-trolled within 0.01mm under clamping forces of 5kN, 10kN, and 15kN. In the future, based on the automated scroll fixture developed in this thesis, further research will be conducted on the development of automated clamping fixtures for scroll of different materials and sizes, in order to reduce the risk of failure in the development of automated fixtures.
