Poka Yoke Fixtures

Fixtures typically utilize clamps in order to constrain an object by one or more directions of translation or rotation. Poka-yoke may be incorporated in this through preventing the incorrect orientation of a workpiece. This type of error proofing prevents a distracted assembly worker from aligning a near-symmetric workpiece incorrectly. As a result, workflow is smoother as fewer decisions pertaining to handling must be considered by the assembly worker.
