Description

Aimed at design engineers, this is a guide to design for assembly. It links the technologies of manual, dedicated and flexible assembly to the rules which have been formulated for them. After an introduction to the key methods and processes involved in design for assembly, the authors identify these rules in order of significance. The second part is concerned with the various design for assembly methodologies and their comparative effectiveness enabling the reader to choose a particular method to suit specific circumstances. Finally, the possibilities for introducing design for assembly at the conceptual stage are investigated.
