Design of Assembly: Done by

The document discusses the design of assembly processes in manufacturing. It defines assembly as combining individual components into a final product, and notes that assembly is the last step in manufacturing. It outlines several types of assembly including manual, mechanically aided manual, and automatic assembly using machines. The document provides guidelines for assembly layout and design including structuring, reducing, standardizing, and simplifying assembly operations and interfaces to improve efficiency and reduce costs. It also lists factors to consider when determining the appropriate type of assembly system.

Design of Assembly

Just because you can make something doesn’t


mean you can manufacture it

Done By

Assembly

Ø Assembly means assemble individual


components into the final product

Ø The Last Step in Manufacturing Process

Ø The auxiliary work needed during and after


production.
Importance DFA

ü For every product part, there are about 1000


manufacturing equipment parts

ü Related to DFM, but focuses specifically on the


aspect of manufacturing in which the system is put
together

ü Reduce costs, simplify processes


Types Of Assembly

v Manual Assembly
v Mechanically Aided Manual Assembly
v Automatic Assembly
§ Special Synchronous Machines and Automatic Feeders
§ Special Non Synchronous Machines and Automatic
Feeders
§ Special purpose free Transfer Non Synchronous
Machines
§ Robots and Parts Magazines
Factors Considered In Assembly Type

The decision between manual and


Automatic assembly depends on such factors
are,

q The No. of parts per Assembly


q The no. of Assemblies Required
q The Design / Complexity of the component
q Relative cost of Capital and Labour
Operations involved in DFA

ü Storing
ü Handling
ü Positioning
ü Joining
ü Adjusting
ü Securing
ü Inspecting
Guidelines for Assembly Layout

An easy-to-assemble layout can be achieved if


the assembly operations are:
v Structured

v Reduced

v Standardized

v Simplified.
Designing Assembly Interfaces

Improvements to the interfaces are


achieved if they are
Ø Reduced
Ø Standardized
Ø simplified.
Designing Interface Elements

To improve automatic storage and handling,


including the identification, ordering, picking-up and
moving of the interfacing elements, these operations
should be
Ø Enabled

Ø Simplified
Guidelines For Assembly Improvement

v Standardize Design
v Use Subassemblies
v Avoid Too many Subassembly at a time
v Use layered top down Assembly
v Design Parts to be self aligning
v Eliminate Adjustments as much as Possible
v Use Funnel Shaped Openings of holes / slots
Contd.,

v Use over sized holes in through holes of


mating Parts
v Use Push on Fasteners instead of
Threaded type
v Use fewer larger fasteners instead of
Larger no. of Small fasteners
v When Design Allowed Use open End slot
instead of Closed / Holes
v When allowed Use Rigid part as Base
