Degree of Freedom
• Degrees of Freedom (DOF) are the set of independent
displacements and/or rotations that specify completely thedisplaced or deformed position and orientation of the bodyor system.

Purpose of locating system
The locating system must, in conjunctionwith the clamping system, completely
constrain the workpiece, or eliminate asmany of the six degrees of freedom as
necessary for the operation to becompleted with the required accuracy

The choice of locating system
• The requirements of the locating system depend upon the
operation being performed, and upon the workpiece beforethe operation

The choice of locating system
• When there is a choice of location points the most effective locationsystem must be selected
• The cylinder is the best location shape• The ease of loading and unloading the workpiece must also be
considered

Redundant Location
• A redundant location is said to exist when two locators are attempting to
constrain one freedom from two location points• It must be avoided

Locators
• For the best possible accuracy, locators should contact theworkpiece on its most accurate surfaces (versus unmachined,
rough surfaces).• Although point contact would yield best positioning accuracy,
most locators have planar contact surfaces, in order tominimize damage to the workpiece due to potentially high-
pressure contact points.
• Locators are manufactured separately from the main body ofthe workholding device (e.g., a mounting plate) using tool-quality-hardness steel for minimum wear.
• They are normally fabricated to exact specifications as fixeddimension components or as adjustable height locators
• Locators may be placed on the periphery of the object orunderneath it and, occasionally, fitted into existing holes onthe workpiece.
• Locators should not be mounted directly on the machine tool’stable but on the workholding device’s body, which is
subsequently secured onto the machine tool’s table

Types of Locators
• Locators may be classified as:
a) Flat
b) Cylindrical
c) Conical
d) Vee
• They may be fixed or adjustable according to thecircumstances

Flat Locators
• Flat locators control the workpiece from flat surfaces or from
its profile by means of pads or pins

Cylindrical Locators
• Cylindrical location is the most common method because it is
most effective.

Conical Locators
• Conical locators are used to locate the workpiece from a
tapered hole or shaft, and when applied in this manner aresimilar to location posts and pots.

• Vee locators are used to locate from cylindrical or part cylindrical profiles
• They may be fixed or sliding
