A Study on Component Reassembly Assist Method Using Simple Marker by Recording and Replaying Disassembly Order

Abstract

For the maintenance and inspection of components, three-dimensional objects that have already been assembled often need to be disassembled and reassembled. When an assembled product has been disassembled and reassembled, the assembly drawing that generally accompanies the product is assisted to assemble. However, since assembly drawings are two-dimensional representations of information, they may not be able to depict all the detailed features of the components, and may have limitations in terms of what they can display. Furthermore, if the assembly drawing is lost or never existed in the first place, reproducing the assembly procedure can be difficult. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to assist the reassembly of components by recording and reproducing the order of disassembly. This method involves recording the disassembly procedure each time a component is disassembled, reproducing the assembly procedure by following the recorded order during reassembly, and presenting the procedure to the user.
