Abstract
Disassembly is the first step in maintenance and servicing of products as well as their remanufacturing or recycling to recover valuable resources. Gentle disassembly increases the percentage of reusable parts. It also reduces the amount of scrap due to damage caused by improper or inappropriate disassembly strategies. In aircraft engine maintenance, for example, gentle disassembly is crucial because damage can result in longer maintenance times or additional work, such as further disassembly or reworking tasks. An application example is the disassembly of seized screws, which can break due to improper loosening strategies and require further unplanned processing steps. This article presents a concept for a novel disassembly tool that enables adaptable and gentle disassembly. The tool is equipped with an actuator system that supports the disassembly process by inducing superimposed vibrations. By monitoring the torque that is manually applied during unscrewing, an integrated control system featuring a pre-taught learning model automatically and actively controls the actuator system. Based on operational data such as operating hours or engine type and the measured torque variables, it calculates optimized setting parameters for the actuators while giving visual signals as feedback on the current disassembly process. The data on each unscrewing process is stored to constantly improve the disassembly task.
