Assembly-optimised

A Design is considered to be Assembly optimised when it requires only a few, simple, clear or inevitable assembly operations and when modules can be assembled in parallel. Assembly-optimised design must also take into account ergonomic criteria.

As more and more products are being assembled in fully automatic processes, sophisticated solutions are needed to ensure automated machinery can get a secure grip on workpieces.

Assembly-optimised design engineering must take into account how the design of components and assemblies can impact on individual assembly operations:

• Storing (stackable workpiece)
• Handling (identification, gripping, moving)
• Positioning
• Joining
• Adjusting
• Securing
• Checking
