Discussion on the design of automatic assembly tooling for hyperboloid antenna
Based on the current usage background,structural characteristics,production requirements,and precision requirements of hyperbolic antennas,this paper analyzes in detail the characteristics of various assembly modes from the aspects of horizontal antenna assembly,vertical antenna assembly,antenna measurement while assembly,and production status of single piece small batch antennas.A new assembly mode for antenna automation assembly tooling is proposed.Based on the assembly characteristics and process,the structure and working mode of the antenna automation assembly tooling were determined.The hardware composition,structure,function,and technical requirements of the tooling were emphasized,and the software composition,function,and function of the tooling were briefly introduced.The development,design,and use of this tooling effectively solve the production of single piece and small batch radar antennas,and the tooling can be promoted to the production and assembly of large phased array antennas.
