Development of Design Capabilities for Cylinder and Jig Base in a 3-D Jig Design System for Automobile Body Assembly

차체 조립용 3차원 지그 설계 시스템에서의 실린더 및 베이스 설계 프로그램 개발

This paper introduces the development of design capabilities for air cylinders and jig bases in a three-dimensional jig design system for automobile body assembly. We first built the standard part library for these parts, and then developed the dedicated 3D design capabilities based on the Unigraphics system. By using this 3-D jig design system, design can be performed more intuitively, and verification and simulation of design results can be done more easily as the 3-D design result can be used readily for virtual manufacturing simulation.
