Assembly Drawings: Objective

A set of working drawings must include all the knowledge for the production of a machine or structure explicitly so that information is required to complete the production. A detail drawing is the drawing of a single part that includes a complete and exact des dimensions, and construction. An assembly drawing is a drawing of several parts aligned to each others by appropriate assembly elements such as threaded fasteners, keys, springs.

SPECIFIC TYPES OF WORKING DRAWINGS

We will now turn our attention to particular types of drawings that are used in the production of parts. Design lay
part of the initial design procedure.

 Detail Drawings : A detail drawing is the drawing of a single part that includes a complete and exact des
dimensions, and construction. The worker must clearly understand the shape, size, material, and surface f
shop operations are necessary; what limits of accuracy must be observed from the detail drawing. Follow
example of a commercial drawing.

 Detail drawings are formed by carefully studying the initial design layouts. Use is made of the scale of th
dimensions that may be given, and all notes provided. Approved standarts for the specific company invol
lettering style, dimensioning techniques, position of notes must be included in detail drawings.
 In general working drawings are checked by an experinced person responsible for any possible error, whe
This step is the final "proofreading" and cannot be carried out by the person who has made the drawing. T
information should be preserved for the future use and reference.

 Assembly Drawings : A complete assembly drawing is presentation of the product or structure put togeth
parts in their operational positions. The seperate parts come to the assembly department after their manuf
are finssihed and in this department they are put together according the assembly drawings. Small machin
be necessary during assembly process such as drilling, reaming, or hand finishing. For such cases, assemb
include a note explaining the required operation and give the dimensions for the alignment or location of
 Several different methods can be used to produce assembly drawings; the simplest one tracing from the d
method is inferior to the method that the assembly drawing is produced from the dimensions of detail dra
accuracy of checking considered. Of course the second method is very time consuming. Whereas, the Com
Drafting can be a huge timesaver when an assembly drawing is being produced. Nowadays, there are so s
programs and equipments; almost all the manufacturers use these programs to recover high initial costs. A
assembly drawings do not need dimensions, the overall dimensions and distances between the centers or f
the different pieces to clarify the relationship of the parts with each others. An assembly drawing should n
with detail.
 Assembly drawings should include referance letters and numbers representing the different parts. These p
enclosed by circles with a leader pointing to the piece .
 A unit assembly (subassembly) is a drawing of a related group of parts and used to show the assembly of
machinery for which it would be practically impossible to show all the features on one drawing. To illlust
tailstock, and gearbox unit assemblies should be included in the drawing of a lathe.

 An outline assembly is used to describe the exterior shape of a machine or structure, so it contains only th
dimensions. If it is made for catalogs or illustrative purposes, dimensions are often omitted. They are also
installation drawings.
 An assembly working drawing includes all the necessary information for producing a machine or structur
This requires providing adequate orthographic views together with dimensions.
 A diagram drawing is an assembly showing ,symbolically, installation of equipment and often made in p
 The bill of material is a tabulated list placed either on the assembly drawing or on a seperate sheet. The li
numbers, names, quantities, material and sometimes stock sizes of raw material, detail drawing number, e
material" is usually used in structural and architectural drawing whereas the term "part list" is used in ma
practice.

 Tabular Drawings : A tabular drawing, either assembly or detail, is one on which the dimension values a
reference letters, and an accompanying table lists the corresponding dimensions for a series of sizes of the
thus one drawing serves for a range covered. If parts are produced in a variety of sizes, using tabular syste
but there is a serious risk of misreading the table.

 Standardized Drawings : The difficulties of the tabular drawings are overcomed by making "standardized
drawings are complete except the actual figured dimensions. By offset printing or black and white reprod
paper these standard drawings are reproduced and dimensioned seperately for the various sizes. Followin
example of standardized drawing.

 Set of Drawings : A complete set of working drawings consist of detail sheets and assembly sheets, the fo
necessary information for the manufacture of each of the individual parts and the latter showing the parts
finished structure or machine. The set includes also the parts list and also may include further information
diagrams,etc.
