Abstract
With the new technologies of the product design, the assembly automation lines has expatriated to a new assembly strategy characterized by an assembly modularization. This strategy consists, in a first time, in preparing subassemblies on secondary lines and then assembled with each other on the main line in a second time. The choice has been made to automate certain sections of the main line and to leave the subassembly lines in a manual way. The aim of this work is to identify the subassemblies of a mechanical product from its CAD model in order to predict secondary’s assembly lines. For better discussing and explaining all the steps of the proposed approach a CAD assembly of an industrial complex product is presented in all sections of this paper.
