  1. Analyzing the Product • Stapler example:

  2. Analyzing the Stapler • What would cause the stapler not to work? • What is the “architecture” of the stapler? (how parts are laid out, functions, arrangement in space) • Liaison Diagram (p.4)

  3. Liaison Diagram • rivet connects anvil to base • pin connects anvil, carrier, and handle • carrier connects pusher and staples

  4. Stapler Example • What are some “Key Characteristics” that could affect function? • In X direction: • position of hammer • thickness of hammer • anvil length • position of pin & holes

  5. Stapler Example • Liaison Diagram with Key Characteristics

  6. Manufacturing and Assembly Variation • Engineering design of an assembly • Nominal design • Variation design • Process design

  7. Nominal Design • Determination of ideal locations and orientations of parts • Defines mutual positioning constraints

  8. Variation Design • Determination of allowable variation in location and orientation • How much variation in each constraint can be tolerated and still achieve the key characteristics?

  9. Process Design • Determination of fabrication and assembly processes that will contribute no more than the tolerable variation • May require loosening allowable variation if no economical process exists

  10. Variation Risk Management (VRM) • Nominal Design, Variation Design, Process Design together make Variation Risk Management • Very hard for many products

  11. Example - Car Doors • Door gap KC • Weatherstripping KC

  12. Car Door Example

  13. Car Door Example • Making a door

  14. Car Doors - Mounting

  15. Car Doors - Mounting

  16. Mathematical Modeling of Assembly • Coordinate frames • each part has a base coordinate frame • Relationships between parts are expressed as 4x4 matrix transforms
