| Aim: The course deals with assembly from both a technical and an organisational point of view, with emphasis on technical matters in the assembly operations. The goal is to give basic knowledge of production technology related to the assembly situation as well as knowledge about different means and methods used in assembly. The knowledge goals are: - knowledge of how assembly systems can be organized. - overview of how material supply to assembly system can be organized. - overview of assembly operation types in the assembly process; the function of the assembly operations, methods, tools and equipment which are used ( for joining operations only production engineering aspects ). - to be able to explain the differences between assembly production and part manufacturing (part forming). - to be able to understand the consequences of the product design for the assembly system build up and for the assembly - to understand the vocabulary which is used in the technical area assembly. The proficiency goals are: - to be able to analyze a product from an assembly technology engineering point of view with an DFA-method. - to be able to plan, programme, adjust and run a small robot assembly system for a given product. |
||||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Basic courses in Production Engineering, Machine Elements, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Economics and Management. 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: The course is given in one quarter study period. Lectures are given on assembly process operations, including methods, tools and equipment. The lectures also cover the build up of different assembly systems and their production engineering features. A demonstration of a flexible automatic assembly system is given in connection with the lectures. Classes are used for solving a Design for Assembly (DFA) task. The laboratory exercises are performed to give hands-on experience on basic assembly operations, robot assembly, etc. |
||||
| Course contents: The importance of economy and technology in assembly manufacturing. Production technology and economic prerequisites for automatic as well as manual assembly. Design technical issues related to assembly. Equipment and techniques used for different part operations in assembly. Industrial robot technology related to flexible automatic assembly. Disassembly. |

| The written examination covers the whole course. The material presented in the assignments and laboratories tested in the written examination are also examined separately. The laboratory tasks examine the student capacity to: - outgoing from, a product description with its function and a description of a robot assembly system for the product, plan the assembly system sequence of operations, programme, debug and make adjustments and finally run the robot assembly system for the product. The programme developed by the student should show the understanding of security aspects as well as understanding of the importance of an easy restart of the system after stoppage in the assembly process. | ||||
