Choice of Turning Devices for Robotic Assembly based on Separability and Instability

조립부품의 분리도 및 불안정도를 이용한 Turning device의 선정

This paper presents a choosing method of turning devices for stable robotic assembly based on verification of a base assembly motion instability. In flexible assembly application, the base assembly needs to be maintained in its assembled state without being taken apart. Therefore, the instability of the base assembly motion should be considered when determining the guide line of choosing turning devices by evaluating a degree of the motion instability of the base assembly. To derive the instability, first we inference collision free assembly directions by extracting separable directions for the mating parts and calculate the separability which gives informations as to how the parts can be essily separated. Using these results, we determine the instability evaluated by summing all the modified separabilites of each component part within base assembly.
