Study on Process Planning of Auto Body Welding Line Based on Digital Factory

Abstract:

Auto body welding line process planning is one of the key sections which determines the production cycle of the whole automobile. Take the advanced digital factory software – Process Designer as developing platform, the production information management and the process planning of the auto body welding line are realized by creating manufacturing model and process model, and the auto body welding line process planning system is constructed, the realizing method and step of processing planning are described in detail. Furthermore, take one auto body floor welding line as an example, the 3D digital factory based on the process planning system is generated, and the planning results is verified. The result shows, applying the system in welding process planning, can shorten the time and increase the accuracy of process planning remarkably.
