AB - The screw-fastening assembly process is one of the most widely used fastening methods in industrial assembly. However, little research has been conducted in this area in terms of the effect of the screw-fastening process on the assembly accuracy. In this paper, statistical experimental design and data analysis have been performed to study the effect of the screw-fastening process on the assembly accuracy using a multi-dimensional high-resolution optical position monitoring system in a controlled environment. In our study, we observe that an order of magnitude difference (ranging from about 1 μm to over 10 μm) in the assembly accuracy may result using different screw-fastening conditions, and our analysis shows that, number of screws, datum pins, washer and holding force are the important factors affecting assembly accuracy during the screw-fastening process.
