Three automotive tooling shops have recently gone out of business.
The company has experienced tooling difficulties on its latest products.
Things like fixtures, tooling, material, repairs, etc. do not exist.
Tooling and dies are handled by process engineers internally and by outside prototype shops.
The ability to extract features resulting from nonstandard, user-defined tooling is outside the scope of other feature extractors.
We anticipate tooling this up as an add-on component for one or more visual development environments to significantly minimize the overhead of this work.
More research is needed to understand the specific needs of users and0or groups of users, and to build appropriate tooling for this purpose.
The par t geometries also influence the equipment and tooling costs.
The specific tooling such as feeders obviously remains quite expensive.
Z-axis assembly permits simple robots and insertion tooling with gravity serving to assist in the assembly process.
