What is assembly?
Assembly is the process of putting parts together. The working definition of assembly is “The aggregation of all processes by which various parts and subassemblies are built together to form a complete, geometrically designed assembly or product (such as a machine or an electric circuit) either by individual, batch or a continuous process”. Hence assemblies are the outcome or product of the assembly process.
Assembly components can be individual parts or subassemblies that behave as a single unit. For example, a single-part base plate and a multipart air cylinder subassembly are both components when placed in an assembly.
Components are created in part files or in the context of an assembly file. Assembly components can be a subassembly with parts that can be modified or a single part with features that can be modified. The sketches used to build part features can be fully or partially dimensioned.
The Assembly Process
The assembly process is the placement, joining and fastening of one or more parts in or on another. The process is carried out through manual means however; automatic equipments are used for mass production. Fixtures are used to hold one or more parts conveniently during the operation.
Even though, assembly work is performed at individual workbenches, often conveyors are used to move parts or assemblies in process from one workstation to another. In the massproduction industries, a conveyor moves an assembly part to a number of workstations and at each of which certain parts are added. This is the common assembly line.
