Abstract: Armored face conveyor was typical customized mechanical product. Each new model was designed based on the existing models which were necessary for product configuration based on the product platform. After analyzing existing products, product platform and structure tree were constructed through extraction and mapping of product platform parameters. Product configuration process which satisfied customers′ requirements was proposed. Configuration was accomplished by finding out what the platform customers needed. Those invariable parts which could be directly put into production were defined by platform feature parameter, configuration constraints and fuzzy pattern recognition. At the same time, design for other parts were simple so that product design and manufacturing cycle were shortened.

Key words: product platform, product configuration, fuzzy pattern recognition approach, armored face conveyor, characteristic parameter of platform
