Component feeding is an important process in assembly and packaging lines, affecting the throughput. It is therefore important to optimize the feeding process with the aim of reducing the takt time of the production line. In kitting lines, the feeding devices are typically used to create little groups of components, preparing the batches for final grouping into a kit.
In the paper, a dynamic model is developed and validated, which describes the interaction of the components to be fed with the blades of a rotating feeding unit. Then, an optimization method is proposed based on the dynamic model using a weighted cost function, which allows to define the shape of the blade according to a set of design objectives.

用于优化旋转喂料装置的动态模型
元件进料是组装和包装线中的一个重要过程,会影响产量。因此,优化喂料过程以减少生产线的节拍时间非常重要。在配套生产线中,进料装置通常用于创建小组组件,准备批次以最终组合成一个套件。
在本文中,开发并验证了一个动态模型,该模型描述了要给料的部件与旋转给料装置的叶片之间的相互作用。然后,基于使用加权成本函数的动态模型提出了一种优化方法,该方法允许根据一组设计目标定义叶片的形状。
