Computer Simulation and Analysis of High-precision Automated Assembly Line in Telecommunication Industry

In this project, a mechanism for inserting assembly technology is described.The process is separated into two portions: pick-up and assembly.In the pick-up portion, process planning for industry assembly is a very complex task, which is mostly dependent upon the combination of experience along with up-to-date assembly technology.Attempts to simulate the automated assembly process have been largely unsuccessful and it remains a difficult task especially for current college student majoring in manufacturing, in the field of mechanical engineering.Besides pursuing automating assembly process planning, this research also investigates the effectiveness of assembly simulation as a project for groups of graduate students by using computer-aided design.Student can view assembly simulations through Pro/E software.The research was accomplished by reviewing process plans from different groups of graduate students and presents the best result to establish a baseline of process plan complexity, which shows huge gaps between college study and current leading manufacturing industry.
