Abstract: A 3D flexible tooling positioning platform is developed to solve the problems of difficult positioning and easy deformation during the machining and assembling process of curved thin-wall parts. Firstly, the physical and digital models of this 3D flexible platform are built. In order to locate and adjust the orientation of thin-wall surface parts, this platform is composed of high-precision standard modules, positioning parts and clamping parts.Then, the static and free vibration analyzing models of the flexible platform are develped based on commercial finite element software, studying the mechanical properties of the platform. Numerical results show that the flexible clamping fixture platform has sufficient stiffness and strength. The structural vibration transmitted from the assembling units will not cause the resonance of supporting structure.

Key words: thin-wall parts, flexible clamping fixture, free vibration, FEM analysis, aircraft assembly
