Abstract :
In this paper feedback control strategies for insertion of mating parts in automated assembly operations are presented. The question of maximum allowable misalignment before the initiation of assembly operation is studied and the effect of proportional (P), proportional plus integral (PI), and proportional plus integral plus derivative (PID) control actions on the assembly process is examined.
