Abstract
This paper presents methods to plan predictive maintenance for precision assembly tasks. One of the key aspects of this approach is handling the abnormalities during the development phase, i.e. before and during process implementation. The goal is to identify abnormalities which are prone to failure and finding methods to monitor them. To achieve this, an example assembly system is presented. A Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is then applied to this assembly system to show which key elements influence the overall product quality. Methods to monitor these elements are presented. A unique aspect of this approach is exploring additional routines which can be incorporated in the process to identify machine specific problems. As explained within the paper, the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis shows that the resulting quality in a case study from a precision assembly task is dependent on the precision of the rotational axis. Although the rotational axis plays a significant role in the resulting error, it is hard to explicitly find a correlation between its degradation and produced parts. To overcome this, an additional routine is added to the production process, which directly collects information about the rotational axis. In addition to the overall concept, this routine is discussed and its ability to monitor the rotational axis is confirmed in the paper.<br/><br/>

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE BONDING ZONE IN THE EXPLOSIVE WELDING OF A DIFFERENTLY STRUCTURED STEEL-ZIRCONIUM PLATERS
In this work the results of trials aimed at selecting optimal settings of the explosion welding process of 10 mm thick zirconium (Zr 700 grade) plates with carbon steel (P265GH grade) are presented. A bimetal Zr-steel an...
EFFICIENT QUANTIFICATION OF FREE AND FORCED CONVECTION VIA THE DECOUPLING OF THERMO-MECHANICAL AND THERMO-FLUIDIC SIMULATIONS OF MACHINE TOOLS
Thermo-elastic deformations represent one of the main reasons for positioning errors in machine tools. Investigations of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of machine tools, especially during the design phase, rely mainly o...
Evaluation of different approaches to 3d numerical model development of the contact zone between elementary asperities and flat surface
This paper presents two triaxial finite element (FE) models: a “full model” and a “quarter model”, representing the contact between the specimen’s rough surface and the ideally smooth and flat surface of the punch. Model...
COMPLEMENTING AND ENHANCING DEFINITIONS OF LINE PROFILE COMPOSITE TOLERANCE IMPOSED BY ISO GEOMETRICAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
According to the ISO Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS), if two or more specifications of the same characteristic are to be indicated, they may be combined as a composite tolerance. Therefore there are no definitio...
EXTENSION OF A PHASE TRANSFORMATION MODEL FOR PARTIAL HARDENING IN HOT STAMPING
The quality of predicted microstructural and mechanical properties in hot stamping simulations relies considerably on the material model. Many researchers studied the effect of the plastic deformation on the phase transf...
