Abstract
The generation of assembly sequences (AS) is a topical subject aimed to help designers for the determination and the simulation of the different stages of a mechanical product assembly. So, it is considered as an important step in the process of designing a new mechanical product. In addition, it allows minimizing the design cost and reducing the time of maintenance. For that, researches are developed several methods to optimize the determination of assembly sequences.
In this paper, an approach based on the evaluation of AS, generated by our old work, is proposed. The generated AS are feasible and respect the stability between components during the assembly operation. The criterion of the Assembly Tools Operation Space (ATOS) is used to deduce assembly sequences with high quality. Also, those assembly sequences will be more conformed to industrial practices. For that reason, the algorithm will detect fastener, calculate the movement length (ML), of the last one, to be demounted and select the appropriate tool (AT) to make the necessary tests.
An illustrative example is adopted to highlight the importance of this proposed approach.
