Abstract
This work presents a methodology to analyze redundant constraints in clamping devices. These important devices are largely used in manufacturing processes, however, the existing devices may present redundant constraints. The manufacturing or assembly of the clamping devices may be hindered due to the redundant constraints existing in the device. Hence, this work presents a methodology to evaluate and eliminate redundant constraints in clamping devices. These devices are introduced and their reconfigurability discussed. A model for the friction constraints between the clamping device and the fixed object is presented. Finally, the methodology is shown along with a case study.
