組立アニメーションと3D作業指示図の高速自動生成のための組立順序規則と幾何拘束に基づく組立順序生成アルゴリズム

抄録

As manufacturing activities have been getting globalized and product models have become more and more diversified, animated work instructions for assembly sequence have been increasingly employed to assure product quality. However, assembly sequence planning and subsequent animation editing time drastically increases and becomes unacceptably time consuming in the order of factorial as the number of assembly parts grows. To address this problem, a fast assembly sequence and assembly motion generation method have been developed based on assembly constraints and locations of parts in 3D-CAD assembly models. Generated assembly sequences have been automatically translated into animation scripts and eventually employed as animated work instructions in actual manufacturing sites.
