Multi-stations sheet metal assembly modeling and diagnostics
In this paper, a multi-station assembly process is modeled for diagnosing automotive body dimensional faults. The proposed approach enables multi-station assembly process modeling based on design information (CAD) and allows system behavior determination based on the in-line measurements of the final product. The method includes generic modeling of the key assembly process characteristics; tool...
متن کاملA Lean Manufacturing Roadmap for an Automotive Body Assembly Line within Axiomatic Design Framework
In this paper we are to present a practical application of Axiomatic Design (AD) methodology, as a roadmap to lean production, in redesigning a car body assembly line. Axiomatic Design theory provides a framework to simplify the whole problem. According to the AD principles, a hierarchical structure has been developed. The developed structure originated in lean manufacturing principles and exis...
متن کاملMoving towards in-line metrology: evaluation of a Laser Radar system for in-line dimensional inspection for automotive assembly systems
The increasing interest towards intelligent systems has led to a demand for the development of zero-defect strategies, with a paradigm shift from off-line and dedicated to inline metrology with integrated robotic systems. However, a major barrier preventing the systematic uptake of in-line metrology is the lack of evaluation of system capability in terms of accuracy, repeatability and measureme...
