3. BASIC THEORY
3.1 Introduction of Assembly Process
Assembly is a process of drafting, combining, and setting several parts into a
part that has a function. Assembly started when an object is ready to be installed and
ended when the object is assembled perfectly. This process can be done temporarily
with fasteners or permanently by welding or gluing. The work of the assembly process
is carried out by setting up machines, equipment, and workers where the products to
be assembled are passed sequentially from one operation to another until they are
completed (Kececi, 2019).
Choosing the right method for the part that we want to assemble is important
before the assembly process is carried out. The assembly method can be selected by
the engineers after the product design is completed, approved, and authorized.
Operators are expected to understand how to plan assembly methods for effective
manual assembly, semi-automated assembly, and automated assembly.

6. Automatic installation equipment and robots
7. Numeric and computer controllers for programming fastening installation
procedure.
Equipment selection can be made for assembly work by estimating the number
and speed at which the assemblies will be worked and joined. In this way, the
manufactured product will be strong, durable, and efficiency can be achieved for the
assembly manufacturers.
3.3 Types of Assembly Process
There are three types of assembly processes and mostly used in industry, which
are manual assembly, semi-automated assembly, and automated assembly.
1. Manual Assembly
Manual assembly operations are performed by human workers
using their inherent dexterity, skill, and judgment. A manual assembly line
consists of multiple workstations arranged sequentially. The usual
procedure on the manual path starts with the base part. Then, the base
part walks through each station where workers do the assembly of the
other parts. After all the parts have been completed, the product will leave
the final station (Groover, 2020).
3
2. Semi-Automated Assembly
Semi-automated assembly is a process carried out by the combined
activities of humans and machines that aim into one finished product. Many
manufacturers choose to implement semi-automated because of the
complexity of the task, or the number of products produced is too low if
carried out with a fully automated process (Langer & Soffker, 2011).
4
3.4 Factors Affecting Assembly
There are several assembly methods based on mechanical interference
between the two parts being joined. There are several success factors in assembling a
product, including:
1. Types of Material
Every material has its own characteristics, these characteristics will
determine which assembly method is the most suitable to be used in the
assembly process. There are some types of materials such as metal,
ceramic, polymer, composite, semiconductor, etc.
2. Material Strength
Consideration of the power required for a product should have been
designed when planning what will be explained by considering what the
product used. On this basis can choose the connection method in the basic
assembly process for the product of the power connection required.
5
7. Ergonomic
Ergonomic defined in this assembly is a match between the products
with the convenience of the user (end-user). This means that the product
used does not cause fatigue, danger, boring, etc.
8. Finishing
Finishing or final work is important in the process of assembly. Finishing
will give the final appearance of an object to the sale value.
3.5 Types of Joint
Joint function is to fasten a machinery construction, either semi-permanent or
permanent. Joint is always used in composite structure assembly because of its cost
efficiency and accessibility.
1. Semi-Permanent Joint
This type of joint is a method of joining that is usually designed to
be permanent. However, it can be disassembled without damaging the
materials. For example, with the use of bolts, nuts, and washers as well as
knock-down fittings.
a. Bolt
Bolt is an externally threaded fastener that is inserted
through holes and “screwed” into a nut on the opposite side.
These are designed to tighten them. Some bolt heads
automatically lock the bolt in place. So that, it does not move
and a tool is only needed for the nut end (Groover, 2020).

hex nuts are the strongest
of all nut designs.

2. Permanent Joint
The permanent joint cannot be disassembled without destroying
the connecting components. There are some types of permanent joints:
a. Riveted Joint
Rivets are widely used to achieve mechanically bonded
permanent joint that has simplicity, strength, density
(tightness), and low cost (Groover, 2020). Rivets are bolt-like
devices made up of ductile metals, which are inserted through
parallel holes drilled across the joining members and punched
from the other side to produce perfect and permanent firm
locking joints. There are some applications using a riveted joint,
including:
a) Strengthening joints in light metal products such as
multilevel construction, bridge construction, and
aircraft construction.
b) Impermeable joint for water tank, chimney plates,
and pipes.
c) Joint nails for aircraft and vehicle construction.

b. Welding
Welding is a material joining process in which two or
more parts are assembled at their contacting surfaces by a
suitable application of heat and/or pressure. Several welding
10
processes are accomplished by heat alone, pressure, or by a
combination of heat and pressure. In some welding methods, a
filler material is added to make the merging of the materials
easier. Welding is most associated with metal parts, but the
process is also used for joining plastics. The welding processes
can be divided into many types, such as arc welding, resistance
welding, and oxyacetylene welding (Groover, 2020).
Table 6. 7 Type of Welding
No Type Explanation
Arc

Welding
Arc welding is one of the welding processes
in which heating of the metal is heated using
an electric arc. Some of them also apply
pressure during the process and most utilize
a filler metal.
Resistance
2
Welding
Resistance welding is a fusion-welding
process that uses a combination of heat and
pressure to accomplish coalescence, the
heat being generated by electrical
resistance to the current flow at the junction
to be welded.
Oxyacetyle
3
ne Welding
Oxyacetylene welding is a fusion-welding
process performed by a high-temperature
flame from the combustion of acetylene and
oxygen. Sometimes added filler metal and
pressure
11
There are some types of welding metals used, including:
a) Steel
Steel is an alloy that contains iron and 2% of
other elements, carbon/steel alloy is common and
can be found in high, low, and medium varieties. The
characteristics of steel are higher carbon content
means stronger steel, versatile, and can be used with
any welding process. On the other side, it can rust
and flake from oxidation.
b) Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is made to resist corrosion and
is hygienic. This is achieved by adding 10% to 30%
chromium to other elements such as iron. There is
also a nickel alloy available. Stainless is welded using
arc welding. The downside is the higher cost.
c) Aluminum
Like stainless steel, aluminum also isn’t as
corrosive as other metals. It is lighter than stainless
steel. In welding, pure aluminum and alloys are used.
Alloys include copper/aluminum alloy, manganese
alloy, and zinc alloy. Several types of arc welding
which are Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas
Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is the process of
choice for welding aluminum. Stick aluminum
welding is only used for smaller projects.
d) Copper
Among the welding metals, copper is popular
due to its electrical conductivity, heat conductivity,
corrosion resistance, appearance, and wear
resistance. To be called copper, it needs to be a
99.3% minimum copper content. Copper is welded
using GMAW and GTAW. The shielding gas for
copper is welding-grade argon. Oxides that form
12
should be removed after welding. Copper is
preheated. However, copper alloys do not need to be
preheated due to high levels of thermal conductivity.
e) Cast Iron
In terms of welding metals, low-carbon steel is
easier to weld than cast iron. Cast iron has higher
carbon and silicon content and is not as ductile.
When welding with cast iron, the surface will need to
be cleaned to remove any ingrained grease and oil.
All cracks need to be ground or filed. Cast iron is
welded with oxyacetylene welding.
f) Magnesium
Magnesium alloys are lightweight (2/3 of
aluminum), absorb vibration, and easy to cast. It has
a melting temperature similar to aluminum and is
welded in a similar way. When you grind magnesium,
the shavings are flammable. The metal is welded
with a GTAW.
c. Brazing
Brazing is a joining process in which a filler metal is
melted and distributed by capillary action between the faying
surfaces of the metal parts being joined (Groover, 2020). The
filler metal must have a melting point that is above 840 degrees
Fahrenheit but below the melting point of the base metals and
the metal must also have high fluidity and wettability.

d. Soldering
Soldering is similar to brazing. On soldering, no melting
of the base metals occurs, but the filler metal wets and
combines with the base metals to form a metallurgical bond.
The difference between soldering and brazing lies in the heat
and temperature required for soldering are lower than brazing.
15
electrical connections, magazine binding, corrugated boxes, and final
product packaging (Groover, 2020).
2. Stapling
The staples are supplied in convenient strips. The individual staples
are lightly stuck together to form the strip, but they can be separated by
the stapling tool for driving. Staples are usually applied using portable
pneumatic guns, into which strips containing several hundred staples can
be loaded. Applications of industrial stapling are usually used on furniture
and upholstery, the assembly of car seats, and various light-gauge sheet
metal and plastic assembly jobs (Groover, 2020).
3. Sewing
Sewing is a common joining method for soft, flexible parts such as
cloth and leather. The method involves the use of a long thread or cord
interwoven with the parts so as to produce a continuous seam between
them. The process is widely used in the needle trade industry to assemble
garments (Groover, 2020).
3.7 Introduction of Finishing Process
The finishing process has the purpose of changing the surface of the parts
produced to achieve certain characteristics. The desired characteristics desired in the
finishing process include an increase in aesthetics, adhesion, solderability, chemistry,
corrosion, tarnish, or wear-resistant, hardness, electrical conductivity, disability
removal, and surface friction control. In the finishing process, these processes take
off/ reshape the finishing or add/ change the finishing.
1. Abrasive Machining
Abrasive machining is a technique of material removal that is
introduced in order to cut workpiece materials by an abrasive medium
that can be in the form of water, abrasive particles, or a mixture (Amir
Dehghanghadikolaei, 2018). An abrasive is a small hard particle having
sharp edges and an irregular shape. Abrasives can remove tiny amounts
of material from a surface through a cutting process that produces tiny
chips. Other abrasive processes are honing, lapping, superfinishing, and
grinding.
16
a. Honing
Honing is an abrasive process performed by a set of
bonded abrasive sticks using a combination of rotational and
oscillatory motion. A common application is to finish the bores
of internal combustion engines. Other applications include
bearings, hydraulic cylinders, and gun barrels. Usually used to
fill holes in internal combustion engines. Surface finish 0.12 m
(5 -in) or better (Groover, 2020).
Honing tools are plastic gears impregnated with fine
abrasive particles. The honing process is faster than grinding
and is used to improve the surface finish. To further enhance
the surface finish, the grinding teeth are spliced, using an
abrasive compound with a cast iron or bronze gear-shaped
beater or a pair of mating gears actuated together.
b. Lapping
Lapping is an abrasive process used to produce a
surface finish with very high accuracy and smoothness. The
lapping process is gentler than superfinishing and sharpening
and removes less surface material. The lapping tool is called a
lap. To accomplish the process, the lap is pressed against the
work and moved back and forth over the surface. Lapping is
sometimes performed by hand, but lapping machines
17
accomplish the process with greater consistency and
efficiency (Groover, 2020).
With a certain force and speed, abrasive particles
which are harder and crystalline tourer than workpiece
materials, remove small chips from the workpiece. The
application of the lapping process, such as optical lenses,
metallic bearing surfaces, and gages.
c. Superfinishing
Superfinishing is used to refine the surface finish of a
component with an exceptionally low roughness average.
Superfinishing can be used to finish flat and external
cylindrical surfaces. Superfinishing is an abrasive process
similar to honing. Both processes use bonded abrasive sticks,
pressed against the surface, and reciprocating motion. But the
difference in superfinishing, has shorter strokes, higher
frequencies, lower pressures between tool and surface, lower
work speed, and smaller grit sizes. The result from
superfinishing is mirror-like finishes with surface roughness
values around 0.025 μm (1 μ-in) (Groover, 2020).
18
d. Grinding
Grinding is a material-removal process accomplished
by abrasive particles wheel rotating at very high surface
speeds. The grinding wheel is usually disk-shaped (Groover,
2020). The grinding process of shaping materials is probably
the oldest. dating from the time prehistoric humans, found
that they could sharpen their tools by rubbing them against
gritty rocks. There are numerous types of grinding operations,
which vary according to the shape of the wheel and the
kinematic motions of the workpiece and wheel head.
Cylindrical grinding is

19
2. Magnetic Abrasive Finishing (MAF)
Magnetic abrasive finishing is one of the non-traditional finishing
processes, which produces a high level of surface quality and is primarily
controlled by a magnetic field. In this process, the workpiece is kept
between the two poles which are the north and south pole. The working
gap between the workpiece and the magnet is filled with magnetic
abrasive particles (Muhammad Abdallha, 2020).
A special benefit of this finishing process is the possibility of
finishing complex surfaces. Magnetic abrasive finishing is used for
complicated product finishing, roughness, and tolerance that are difficult
to achieve using conventional machine processes (Vishwanath Patil,
2021).
20
c. Giving more control
The adjustability options in a spray painter are
unparalleled. Even with the base tool, you have flexibility over
the amount of paint you want to discharge.
Airbrushes and spray guns are distinguishable by their sizes and
by the size of spray the pattern they produce. While airbrushes are hand-
held, they are typically applied to projects that require a greater amount
of detail such as fine art, small nails, or photo retouching. The equipment
used with spray guns is generally quite large. Spray guns are typically well
suited for covering large surfaces with an even liquid coat. Their
interchangeable heads allow users to spray different patterns and they
can be either automated or handheld (3DEXPERIENCE, n.d.).
21
coating process include household appliances, automotive, and bicycle
parts. The main benefits of powder coating include:
a. Efficiency
b. Low cost
c. Durability
d. Creating a smooth surface without drips or runs,
e. Ease of maintenance.

f. Affordable
