Abstract
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to propose a posture evaluation approach based on temperature compensation and three-dimensional (3-D) tolerance for the key points (KPs).
Design/methodology/approach
– A large component 3-D compensation model of thermal deformation considering characteristics of the assembly object is developed. Then, the thermal deformation compensation model is used to modify the nominal coordinates for the KPs. By using a combination of relative deviations of KPs as the objective and 3-D tolerance as the constraints, an optimization model for posture evaluation is established.
Findings
– Deviations of posture and KPs’ coordinates are obtained by solving the non-linear constrained optimization problem. The posture evaluation method is demonstrated in both a simulation case and practical implication of the aircraft components assembly system with the result that a good performance is obtained.
Practical implications
– The proposed method has been used in several aircraft assembly projects in China, and gained a good effect.
Originality/value
– This paper proposes a method for eliminating the affection of thermal deformation during posture evaluation process and improving the consistency and stability of posture evaluation results. The results of this research will help to systematically improve the manufacturing process and tolerance allocation efficiency in large aircraft assembly.
