The function of a fixturing system is to hold a workpiece firmly in position during a manufacturing process. The work presented in this paper adds the practical value to research by applying theoretical principles of fixture for real industrial component. The component is rear flange of gear case, widely used in automobile industry. The major operations to be performed are drilling and milling. Machine tools, material handling devices, transport and other mobile equipment, aviation systems, etc. do use hydraulic systems, but application of hydraulic principles in fixture is of uncovered area till now. This paper includes designing and manufacturing of 8- and 16-cylinders hydraulic fixture with automated clamping system, which provides location and clamping arrangement for machining 4 components in one cycle on VMC 640 of pallet size 800 mm x 500 mm. Fixture is not only designed but manufactured also, it sets the classical example of design for manufacturing.
