SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The different principles
proposed for cognitive
modelling are:
o Feature-based
modeler
o Constraint-
Identification module
o Assembly sequence
generator
o Assembly Process
Plan
o Assembly system
design module
o Part Modelling
o Assembly modeler
ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
The assistant mode gives the user full flexibility in exploring alternate sequences.
The expert mode uses heuristics to automatically select a sequence for the user.
ASSEMBLY CONSTRAINTS:
There are three major assembly design
constraints:
o Geometric-feasibility constraints require
collision-free paths joining subassemblies.
o Mechanical-feasibility constraints
require the establishment of attachments
o Stability constraints require that
subassemblies
maintain their relative position.
Orientation
Attachment of fixtures
Application of adhesives
oven curing of adhesives, and
torqueing of bolts.
Type of mate,
Sizes and weights of parts,
Number of features that mate
simultaneously.
o The selection process is carried out heuristically, using multiple sources of information as
constraints on equipment costs and speeds.
