Abstract
Manufacturing systems must provide flexibility and rapid response to market demands. Flexible fixturing is a key technology in the integration of agile manufacturing systems and the lack of effective flexible fixturing can be a significant obstacle to implementation. This paper highlights portions of our research dealing with fixturing systems for agile manufacturing. We apply the spatial point contact constraint theory to develop a mathematical model of flexible fixturing systems. The process of locating and clamping by fixturing systems is described. A representation is obtain for the locating and clamping matrix. Conditions and criteria for a deterministic location, clamping total constraint, accessibility and detachability are obtained. Location errors for the workpiece-fixturing systems are analyzed and the error gain matrix is derived. Illustrative examples are shown using this methodology.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
