Abstract: Appropriate sensor deployment is the key to the efficient diagnosis of product variation. Yet, optimizing sensor placement in complex manufacturing systems remains challenging. We propose a variation propagation analysis (VPA)-based sensor deployment strategy for variation diagnosis in multistation assembly processes. A state-space model is employed to analyze the influences of fixture faults and workpiece dimensional deviations on assembly variation. Based on matrix transformation, the assembly variation propagation characteristics are quantified and a VPN-based causal graph is constructed to represent the causality between assembly variation and sensor measurement. To ensure the diagnosability of over-tolerance of assembly variation (OAV) and the economics of the sensor system, an optimal sensor deployment scheme is presented. It uses the enhanced shuffled frog-leaping algorithm to minimize the OAV unobservability per unit cost and the sensor cost under the constraint of detectability. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by a case study of sensor deployment for variation diagnosis in a multistation automobile differential assembly process.
