Abstract: To support rapid development of reconfigurable tooling of variant products in product family, based on theory of product configuration, a new tooling configuration methodology was proposed by using tooling instances, composite tooling and configuration rules simultaneously. Concept and definitions of tooling configuration for product family were firstly presented. Then knowledge models for tooling instance, composite tooling and configuration rule were constructed, Three types of tooling configuration data objects including product, process and tooling resource as well as their relationships were analyzed.Based on above-mentioned knowledge and data objects, concrete process of tooling configuration was also proposed. Finally, a prototype system of tooling configuration was developed and an example of key part of a rocket separator family was used to validate the proposed methodologies. Test results indicated that the presented method was able to provide a rapid solution to tooling design and management for product family.

Key words: tooling configuration, product configuration, product family, reconfigurable tooling, knowledge reuse
