Redesign of Automobile Heater Blower Motor for Assemblability and Automation

자동차 송풍모터의 조립용이성과 자동화를 위한 재설계

This paper proposes a redesign procedure for assemblability and automatic assembly of an automobile heater blower motor. According to the procedure, redesign alternatives are generated, then the alternatives are evaluated by a weighted objectives method to select one optimal redesign alternative. First, the redesign objectives are identified and the assemblability of the current motor is evaluated to decide redesign rules. Finally, the redesign variants and alternatives are generated using the redesign criteria. This information is then evaluated to select an optimal alternative, determined by weighted evaluation criteria which is established in advance.
