Computer-Aided Production Control of Automobile Injection Molds Based on Process Perception

Abstract:

This paper focuses on major issues in production process control of automobile injection molds based on process perception, such as manufacture resource perception, exchange in three-dimensional model (3D), production planning and scheduling, manufacture process planning (tool path and assembly sequence). After a survey of them, we propose a method for the construction of computer-aided production process control platform. 1) Define the networked manufacture semantic/data model and an encapsulating approach to efficiently manipulate manufacturing resources. 2) Develop structural multi-view data models for the design information of automobile molds transferring in 3D. 3) Propose a production planning and scheduling arithmetic. 4) Develop a variation accumulation model for manufacturing process control. 5) Integrate the tool path and assembly sequence planning of injection molds by using a variation accumulation model. 6) Integrate the existing and/or developed models to the new system. Finally we introduce a validation method and discuss the prospect to the accurate control of production process.
