Application of Virtual Reality in Side Clamp Fixture Assembly

Background/Objectives: The main objective of this paper is dealt with the application of virtual reality in side clamp fixture assembly. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The proposed methodology utilized the geometry and assembly details of side clamp assembly and makes the fixture assembly as close as possible to the real one. It includes two stages. The first stage demonstrates the procedure used for creating virtual prototype of an assembly and the second stage includes the creation of virtual fixture assembly. Findings: VRML coding is used to simulate virtual assembly process. Based on interference analysis errors can be rectified. Fixture assembly planning in virtual environment gives better understanding of the design engineer and the virtual assembly planning gives clear detail for virtual manufacturing. It enables intuitive assembly sequences which are then evaluated by Vizard inspector module. Application/Improvement: In this paper fixture assembly sequences are simulated using VIZARD software. Future research will investigate the fixture assembly plan in a complex virtual manufacturing environment.

section_content: ▪ Researchers should present their results clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification, or inappropriate data manipulation. ▪ Researchers should strive to describe their methods clearly and unambiguously so that their findings can be confirmed by others. ▪ Researchers should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original, is not plagiarized, and has not been published elsewhere. ▪ Authors should take collective responsibility for submitted and published work. ▪ The authorship of research publications should accurately reflect individuals' contributions to the work and its reporting. ▪ Funding sources and relevant conflicts of interest should be disclosed. VIII. Ethical Clearance iSEE insists the authors to get necessary approval from the Institutional Ethics Committees/Institutional Review Boards/Ethics Committees (ECs). For Experiments involving humans or human samples or Data. The authors need to disclose such approval by indicating the Reference number and date of issue. The Ethical approval level may vary as per the geographical jurisdiction, but iSEE insists authors to follow the SCOPE guidelines for ethical clearance Experiments involving Cell lines:

When cell lines of cancer derivatives used, the authors should disclose the source of supply with reference number; if gifted by someone, the original source should be disclosed; a written consent should be provide if it is of human origin. In all these cases, an Institutional ethical committee's approval must be obtained.

section_content: iSEE recommends for authors to comply with Convention on the Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and the Convention on Biological diversity when wild and endangered plants are used as study materials. Necessary National or institutional permission should have obtained while using infected plants or infecting the plants with endemic pathogens.

section_content: iSEE supports transparency in publication and endorses the need for Research data publicly available. Hence, the authors are suggested to make data availability statement in the manuscript which includes the details on what data and where it is available. The sharing of research data on public domain may include what modifications made in the protocol or algorithms, codings, software, raw data obtained, questionnaires used in data collection, sequencing of genetic materials or peptides etc. We also encourage authors to deposite/ archive their research data for public domain. In case of ethical or privacy issues, those data should not be shared but authors should make known the limitations or exceptions clearly in the Data Availability Statement. However, the authors need to include the essential data or experimental protocol information or key modification of the existing algorithms or codes that may be felt as minimum requirement in the manuscript for publication. iSEE encourages the authors to make use of Open Science Framework to deposit data and archive in Zenodo. Also encouraged to follow the Data Availability Statement guidelines provided by NatureResearch or MDPI
section_name: IX. Data sharing policy
