min δDownShotS + δSideShot Challenges: Optimization X, Y, Z • Highly non-linear responses: formulation Subject to • Slope and T200 sensitive to location ρdown, ρside ≥0.99 • Need framework to identify robust locations 0.90 ≤Sside , Sdown ≤1.5 • Should be able to explore multiple optima Y-Z Plane • Computationally efficient
Approach: Common • Define robustness measure function (RMF) Robust • Use Finite difference: Central difference Locations S(x, y, z) S(x x, y, z) S(x, y, z) S(x x, y, z) x 2x
x y z DownShot DS DS DS Non- Robust location • ∆x, ∆y, and ∆z = 1”- based on sensor size Y-Z slice
Robust location Robust Key Learning: location is on plateau • CLSL optimization able to locate robust locations • Approximation+ Optimization required for identifying robust limit switch locations 22 Modular Product Family Design
