Abstract
This paper presents an assembly path planning method based on lightweight model. Firstly, the position-posture matrix (PPM) of initial disassembly is calculated through identifying the features with assembly constraints in the lightweight model of part. Secondly, the bounding box and triangle meshes are projected to implement the collision detection at key point in the disassembly process. Then recording all key points produces the disassembly path. At last, the collision-free assembly path is generated by reversing the disassembly path. The instance application shows that this method can decrease technical requirements and application costs, improve calculation efficiency for the virtual assembly process planning, and is convenient for publishing to the work site of manufacturing and maintenance.
