Aim:
The course is to present a strategic perspective of Design for Manufacturing. Special attention is paid to the holistic view of machining and the preparatory for efficient machining operations. This includes Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided manufacturing.
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:
The student should be able to describe:
- how part manufacturing is involved in production preparation.
- how computer systems can be used to manufacture parts.
- how assembly systems can be organized.
- how material supply to assembly system can be organized.
- assembly operation types in the assembly process with respect to the functions of the assembly operations, methods, tools and equipment which are used ( for joining operations only production engineering aspects ).
The student should be able to explain:
- the consequences of manufacturing preparation on product realisation.
- the consequences of machining parts for handling in assembly systems.
- the differences between assembly production and part manufacturing (part forming).
- 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:
- The student should be able to analyze a product from a machining view and use DFM-method.
- The student should be able to plan, programme a part for machining.
- The student should be able to analyze a product from an assembly technology engineering point of view with a DFA-method.
- The student should 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 machining operation, machining preparation for operation in numerical controlled machine, assembly process operations, including methods, tools and equipment. The lectures also cover the build up of different production and 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 part programming and preparation, solving a Design for Assembly (DFA) task. The laboratory exercises are performed to give hands-on experience on basic assembly operations, robot assembly, etc.

The written examination covers the whole course. The material presented in the assignments and laboratories are tested in the written examination but 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. |
