M CAD Solutions Knowledge Sharing Blog: What Is RPS?

What is RPS?
Welcome to our KZbin channel! In this video, we’ll explore an essential aspect of BIW (Body-in-White) fixture design: RPS, which stands for Reference Point System.
Join us as we delve into the significance of RPS and how it ensures precision and accuracy in automotive manufacturing.
In automotive manufacturing, the BIW refers to the stage of production where the car body shell is assembled and welded together before other components are added.
A BIW fixture is a specialized tool or jig used during this stage to hold and position the individual body panels and components accurately for welding.
The RPS, or Reference Point System, in BIW fixture design, refers to a set of established points or features on the car body that serve as reference points for aligning and positioning the fixture. These reference points are typically based on specific parts of the car body, such as mounting holes, flanges, or datum surfaces, which are measured and located precisely.
By using the RPS in fixture design, manufacturers ensure that the BIW fixture aligns with the car body accurately and consistently, facilitating proper assembly and welding operations.
The RPS helps maintain dimensional integrity and positional accuracy throughout manufacturing, resulting in high-quality and consistent body assemblies.
