摘 要: 在机械产品制造过程中,装配工作占有重要的地位,其成本可以占到制造成本的30%—50%。装配工作对产品的最终质量也有很大影响。虚拟装配可以提前模拟装配过程,对保障装配质量和最终产品质量有着重要的意义,机械手臂的应用也使得装配工作更可控。本文基于SolidWorks三维模型设计软件,利用SolidWorks提供的API接口,通过.NET编程语言控制机械手臂,对产品零件进行装配模拟、碰撞干涉检查和机械手臂运动空间路径规划,最终生成机械手臂装配最优路径,大大减少了人工对机械手臂运动的调试工作,提高了产品的最终质量,对加速制造业发展具有重要意义。 |

Abstract: In the manufacturing process of mechanical products, assembly work plays an important role, and its cost can account for 30% to 50% of the manufacturing cost. Assembly work also has a great impact on the final quality of products, as it can simulate assembly process in advance, which is of great significance to ensure assembly quality and final product quality. The application of manipulator also makes the assembly work more controllable. Based on SolidWorks 3D model design software and its API interface, this paper proposes to use .NET programming language to control the manipulator, and conduct assembly simulation of product parts, collision interference inspection and manipulator movement space path planning. Finally, the optimal path for the manipulator assembly is generated. It greatly reduces the manual adjustment of the movement of the manipulator, improves the final quality of the product, and is of great significance for accelerating the development of the manufacturing industry. |
