This paper develops a fixture failure diagnostic method based on the fixture geometry and in-line measurements. The proposed solution, based on the fixture geometry and measurement locations, is generic enough to apply to multi-fixture systems such as an autobody assembly. In this paper a generic model of variation pattern for 3-2-1 fixtures and fault mapping mechanism are proposed. The model of the variation pattern is based solely on the fixture configuration and measurement location. The relations between layout of tooling elements and measurements are developed and used for modeling of the fault variation pattern. Additionally, hypothetical tooling faults as well as their manifestation through dimensional sensors are thoroughly discussed. A major advantage of the proposed model is that the variation pattern of faults can be predetermined based only on the CAD data available during tooling design. In addition, a model can be created during the development cycle for all fixtures. Fault mapping includes two tasks: (1) estimation of the dominant direction of the fault variation pattern, and (2) fault classification of the dominant direction using a minimum distance classifier. A minimum distance classifier determines the unknown fault based on its distance from the predetermined variation pattern described in the model. The variation pattern of the unknown fault is described through Principal Component Analysis. The verification of the proposed method is presented through a series of computer simulations and one case study based on production data. These simulations and the one case study have demonstrated that dimensional faults can be isolated by using the proposed approach in the noisy production environment. The simulation results show that the presented approach is robust in 45 percent noise environment.
