dc.description.abstractQuality and productivity in a manufacturing process depend considerably on the toolkits used, whose basic functions are to position the component into a right position relative to the cutting tool and to hold the component tightly to avoid displacements during the machining. In this document the design of a smart and adaptive fixture is presented for the accurate positioning of a planet carrier with very strict requirements of tolerances and for an intelligent adjustment during the machining process when required. This device will allow the manufacturer reducing the manual inspections, automatizing the adjustment tasks and improving the machining process setup time, increasing consequently the productivity and achieving the required accuracy and the required geometrical quality of the part. The development of the intelligent fixturing will be focused mainly in the conception of a high precision actuator capable of moving the large part with the required tolerance. Moreover, a testbench has been developed that will allow validating the actuator, assuring therefore its applicability in the future industrialization of the fixture device.en
