Abstract

The traditional clamping-sequence optimisation of sheet-metal parts requires many complicated finite element analyses, and clamping-sequence planning does not account for the springback from clamp-release. Therefore, this paper proposes a new optimisation method based on a heuristic algorithm. We first propose a new contact model of parts, clamps and supporting locators to analyse assembly deformation. Then, we use the distance between the actual and nominal positions to evaluate the clamp layout. Finally, we apply the heuristic algorithm to optimise the clamping sequence. We illustrate the proposed method with a case study of a taillight bracket, whose results show that the method of clamping-sequence optimisation can effectively decrease the deformation of sheet metal from clamping.
