Precisely positioning pallets in multi-station assembly systems
In multi-station assembly systems, common for mass-customization manufacturing strategies, the product being assembled is held in a fixture attached to a pallet, and the pallet is conveyed between workstations. In high-precision assembly systems, variation in the position of the pallet is one of the largest sources of variation within the error budget, reducing quality and yields. Conventional ...
متن کاملKinematic Couplings for Pallets in Flexible Assembly Systems
Flexible assembly systems use conveyors to transfer products through a series of workstations. The product being assembled is typically held in a fixture mounted on top of a pallet. Conventional approaches for locating the pallets often use precision ground pins and bushings for location. This technique requires clearance between the pin and bushings to accommodate manufacturing variation and p...

متن کاملA chance-constrained multi-objective model for final assembly scheduling in ATO systems with uncertain sub-assembly availability
A chance-constraint multi-objective model under uncertainty in the availability of subassemblies is proposed for scheduling in ATO systems. The on-time delivery of customer orders as well as reducing the company's cost is crucial; therefore, a three-objective model is proposed including the minimization of1) overtime, idletime, change-over, and setup costs, 2) total dispersion of items’ deliver...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Lead Time Control in Multistage Assembly Systems (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In this paper we develop a multi-objective model to optimally control the lead time of a multistage assembly system. The multistage assembly system is modeled as an open queueing network, whose service stations represent manufacturing or assembly operations. The arrival processes of the individual parts of the product, which should be assembled to each other in assembly stations, are assumed to...
