Abstract

This paper describes different aspects of a disassembly system and presents the information model to obtain, on the one hand, the movements necessary for removing a component, and, on the other, a simulation of the disassembly process carried out. The inputs of the disassembly system are the CAD model of the product to be disassembled and the different features of the components stored in a database. Based on such information, an object-oriented model required for developing the disassembly process in a flexible way is generated. Local and global strategies for the removal of one component, using a set of translational movements, are described. Finally, the paper describes a simulation system that allows the verification of the disassembly movements automatically obtained, and simultaneously, to determine the ease of non-destructive disassembly.
