| Aim: The course in Assembly Technology deals with assembly from a technical as well as from an organizational point of view, focussing on technical issues in the assembly operations. The aim is to give basic knowledge of production technical issues related to the assembly situation and to give knowledge about different methods and means of assistance used in assembly. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Basic knowledge in Manufacturing Technology. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: Lectures: 12 hrs; Seminars: 8 hrs; Laboratories: 4 hrs. Going through the theoretical part means looking at different part of the assembly process and systems including methods, tools and equipment. The lessons will be utilized for laboratory preparations and study of design for assembly (DFA) including a task where a product is studied with an aid of a systematic tool. The laboratory work to be performed in the course makes it possible to have so called "hands-on" experience as regards assembly equipment, robots, robot programming. |
|||
| Course contents: THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS: Assembly Systems - examples. The assembly process is dealt with as regards sub-operations at assembly, feeding, separation and orientation of parts, parts magazine, handling of parts, transportation of basic working pieces, gripping, fixturing, assembling, fitting jointing and testing. There are descriptions and definitions of methods and equipment for the different sub-operations and how they fit into the assembly system. DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY - DFA: The design of the product not only decide the function of the product, but also has great influence on the conditions of the build up the manufacturing system for the product. Design adaptation on assortment level, product level and part level will be dealt with in the course. A very important issue in this respect is the modularisation of the assortment level. Important issues to discuss on product level are the dividing of the product into sub-assemblies, part reduction etc. It is also important to discuss the design of the parts in view of storage, feeding and fitting. A tool used for adaptation of simplified assembly of product and part is presented in this part. |
