CA 2408779

The present invention provides systems and methods for orienting or assembling a detailed part in a predetermined orientation in which the detailed part is made up of a plurality of component parts. First, a location and alignment are defined by a virtual assembly tool. Next, a unique combination of self- locating features are disposed on the individual component parts in which the unique combination corresponds to the location and alignment defined by the virtual assembly tool. Thus, the virtual assembly tool is integrated into the assembled detailed part. In practice the individual component parts are engaged with predetermined corresponding components parts using the self- locating features. The act of engaging the individual component parts is repeated until all component parts are engaged with each respective corresponding component parts.

Cette invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant de disposer et d'assembler un sous-ensembles selon une orientation déterminée, le sous-ensemble étant constitué d'une pluralité de pièces. Une première étape consiste à définir un emplacement au moyen d'un outil d'assemblage virtuel. On dispose ensuite des caractéristiques d'auto-positionnement selon une combinaison spécifique sur les pièces individuelles, combinaison qui correspond à l'emplacement et à l'alignement définis par l'outil d'assemblage virtuel. Ainsi, cet outil d'assemblage virtuel se trouve intégré dans le sous-ensemble assemblé. En pratique, les pièces individuelles sont assujetties aux pièces correspondantes déterminées au moyen des caractéristiques d'auto-positionnement. L'assujettissement des pièces individuelles se répète jusqu'à ce que toutes les pièces soient emboîtées dans chacune des pièces qui leur correspond.
