Research on Key Technologies of Unit-Based CNC Machine Tool Assembly Design

Abstract EN

Assembly is the part that produces the maximum workload and consumed time during product design and manufacturing process.

CNC machine tool is the key basic equipment in manufacturing industry and research on assembly design technologies of CNC machine tool has theoretical significance and practical value.

This study established a simplified ASRG for CNC machine tool.

The connection between parts, semantic information of transmission, and geometric constraint information were quantified to assembly connection strength to depict the assembling difficulty level.

The transmissibility based on trust relationship was applied on the assembly connection strength.

Assembly unit partition based on assembly connection strength was conducted, and interferential assembly units were identified and revised.

The assembly sequence planning and optimization of parts in each assembly unit and between assembly units was conducted using genetic algorithm.

With certain type of high speed CNC turning center, as an example, this paper explored into the assembly modeling, assembly unit partition, and assembly sequence planning and optimization and realized the optimized assembly sequence of headstock of CNC machine tool.
