Abstract

This article studies two types of assembly tasks, namely snap-fit insertions and press-fit hose insertions. Experimental data and theoretical modelling of a snap-fit assembly are used to design a tool that can perform the snap-fit task effectively. The design process of the tool is presented and experimental tests developed to validate its effectiveness are described. Hose insertion experiments are then performed and the results are analyzed in order to develop strategies for the effective insertion of press-fit components in assembly tasks. A motion primitive strategy is first explored, followed by a vibration oriented strategy. Finally, a video demonstrating the experiments accompanies this paper.
