Abstract

Machined powertrain components are a subset of machined parts that introduce unique and difficult problems to product design, process planning and manufacturing system design for the automotive industry. They are complex, high value-added components that must be produced at large volumes to stringent quality standards. Accordingly product development cycles are typically long. Integrated computer-aided approaches are thus desirable for reducing this time and helping manufacturing engineers design the best process and specify the optimal manufacturing system configuration. This paper presents a framework for integrating Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing Systems Engineering (CAE-MS) for producing machined powertrain components. It describes the key components of this framework and in some cases details of the methods and technologies adopted for their realization. This solution is based upon a feature-centric philosophy. This stands in contrast to the product-variant approach that has been common practice in this industry.
