Abstract：The increase of parts in the assembly leads to the complexity of the assembly process and tech-nology,the planning of the assembly sequence has become more rigorous,and the computer-aided assembly se-quence planning has become an important direction of virtual assembly.In this study,taking vertical planetary gearbox as an example,assembly coupling undirected relation diagram is used to determine the assembly cou-pling relation,and the assembly association matrix is transformed into mathematical information.Then through the in-depth study of ant colony algorithm,the assembly path is planned.The results show that the assembly time of the vertical planetary gearbox is reduced by 20％,and human resources are saved by 1/3.
