Abstract

Assembly direction is used in order to confirm the generated assembly sequences in an automatic assembly sequence planning system. Moreover, assembly sequence planners can ascertain the feasibility of a sequence during simulation with assembly direction based in a CAD environment. In other words, assembly direction is essential for sequence optimizing and automatic generation. Based on the importance of assembly direction, this paper proposes a method to select the best direction for the generated assembly sequence using disassembly simulation and geometrical common area between assembled parts. Simultaneously, this idea can be applied to verify the generated assembly sequence. In this paper, the automatic selection of assembly direction and sequence correction system is designed and implemented. The developed algorithms and the implemented system are verified based on case study in the CAD environment.
