Heuristic Methods For Selection and Ordering of Part-Orienting Devices

, , , and

BibTeX reference

Part-orienting systems are employed in many manufacturing environments to feed work parts in correct orientation for proper operations. A part-orienting system is a serial arrangement of orienting devices; the selection and ordering of these devices is an important design aspect that is addressed in this paper. In addition a parallel configuration consisting of individual orienting subsystems is briefly investigated. Numerical examples and extensive computational results are reported.
