Research of Assembly Sequence Planning of RV-E Reducer

Abstract

Taking RV160E reducer as the research object, the assembly sequence of RV-E is studied. The RV160E sub-assembly and the poly-part parts are divided, and the assembly model diagram, assembly association diagram and assembly association matrix are established. The assembly sequence of RV160E is studied by using the cut set theory. By introducing constraints condition, eight theoretically feasible assembly sequences are obtained. Then, the assembly sequence simulation and interference checking are performed by SolidWorks, the range of possible assembly sequences is reduced to four. Finally, the RV160E whole machine is assembled and tested for efficiency and backlash. The feasibility of the four assembly sequences is verified.
