Abstract:

According to virtual tools used in assembly, firstly, assembly tools were categorized as three types by operational type, then assembly tool library was built in virtual environment. Each tool was expressed by displaying model, collision model and logic model. Secondly, assembly process using the tool kinds in virtual environment was given, including position between virtual tool and operated object, as well as assembling between operated object and related object. Finally, an assembly example of a simulation process using virtual tools in workplace planning of automobile engine assembly line was given to validate the feasibility and the validity of the method.

Key words: virtual assembly, assembly tool library, tool model, assembly simulation
