Assembling Variation Analysis Based on Power Balance Method for Sheet Metal Parts

Abstract:

Sheet metal parts are widely used in auto body and airplane body. As the method of influence coefficient cannot accurately analyze the relationship between part deviations and assembly variations, this paper proposes a new variation analysis model based on a method of power balance for sheet metal parts. The simple metal planes are loaded to fixtures according to the principle of “4-2-1”; and then variety of part deviations is analyzed during assembly process. The analysis shows that the welding guns do same work during welding process. Based on the above, this work establishes sensitive coefficient matrices between part deviations and assembly variations. Finally, two Z-shape sheet metal parts illustrate the assembling variation analysis process and the results indicate the accuracy of the method of power balance.
