The Archimedes 2 mechanical assembly planning system

چکیده
W e describe the implementation and performance of Archimedes 2, an integrated mechanical assembly planning system. Archimedes 2 includes two planners, two assembly sequence animation facilities, and an associated robotic workcell. Both planners use fully 3 dimensional data. A rudimenta y translator from high level assembly plans t o control code for the robotic workcell has also been implemented. We can translate data from a commercial C A D system into input data f o r the system, which has allowed us to plan assembly sequences for many industrial assemblies. Archimedes 2 has been used t o plan sequences for assemblies consisting of 5 t o 109 parts. W e have also successfully taken a C A D model of an assembly, produced an optimized assembly sequence f o r it, and translated the plan into robot code, which successfully assembles the device specified in the model.

متن کاملThe Automated Assembly Team Contributions to the APRIMED Agile Manufacturing Project
The Automated Assembly Team of the APRIMED' Project (abbreviated as A' herein) consists of two parts: the Archimedes Project, which is an ongoing project developing automated assembly technology, and the A' Robot Team. Archimedes is a second generation assembly planning system that both provides a general high-level assembly sequencing capability and, for a smaller class of products, facilitate...
متن کاملError Recovery by the Use of Sensory Feedback and Reference Measurements for Robotic Assembly
Industrial robots need instrument or parts transport to do which requires coordinate to show the robot’s instrument, parts and body. When investigating the robot location, we are usually interested in measuring its location relative to a reference coordinate system. In this system it is attempted to make the assemble direction smaller by designing the sensor board and making use of an instrumen...
متن کاملThe Method of Archimedes : Propositions 13 and 14
N o area of mathematics has attracted more international attention in the past decade than the Palimpsest of Archimedes. The 1998 auction at Christie’s, followed by collaborative work centered at the Walters Art Museum led to traveling museum exhibits, newspaper articles, television specials, and dozens of presentations. Mathematicians and other scholars attracted a new and significant audience...
متن کاملProductivity Improvement through Line Balancing by Using Simulation Modeling
The typical problems facing garment manufacturers are long production lead time, bottlenecking, and low productivity. The most critical phase of garment manufacturing is the sewing phase, as it generally involves a number of operations or for the simple reason that it’s labor intensive. In assembly line balancing, allocation of jobs to machines is based on the objective of minimizing the workfl...
