Component assembly

The concept of assembly assembly refers to the professional assembly of individual assemblies or components into a finished product. The assembly assembly is often carried out in industry on optimized assembly lines in order to realize time and cost advantages.
The assembly is a very wide-ranging term that is used across the industry for a variety of assembly steps. The Production method is applied both in the small and large series, depending on the complexity of the modules. The positioning of the assembly assembly in the production process is very flexible. The assembly can be used as an earlier intermediate step or can also represent the last step for the finished end product. In industry, assembly assembly is often carried out in wage production to rely on the expertise of specialized assembly experts.

Technical foundations for assembly

The assembly is an important step in the value chain of the final product. Here, high-quality mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical or combined systems are produced from individual parts or small assemblies. Depending on the technical design of the assembly, various assembly methods are used. These are usually carried out manually, partially automated or completely automated on optimized assembly lines.

The most important assembly techniques in subassembly assembly include, among others:

Welding
In welding, the two components are permanently joined together through localized heat input – for example, generated by a laser. The contact surfaces of the components are typically melted, allowing the materials to merge and form a solid bond upon cooling.
Riveting
Riveting is a force-fit joining process based on the plastic deformation of a rivet after insertion into the rivet holes of the components to be joined. Riveting is particularly suitable for sheets or parts with low thickness. It is divided into solid riveting, blind riveting, and punch riveting.
Bonding
Bonding is a non-mechanical joining method used to permanently connect two components. The advantage of this method is that almost all materials can be joined, and the adhesive force is evenly distributed. Moreover, bonding allows for the creation of visually appealing joints without thermal stress or material damage
Alignment
Alignment is one of the preliminary manufacturing steps in subassembly assembly and is used for the precise positioning of the components to be joined. The highest precision requirements apply.
Check
Testing is usually the last step in assembly. As part of the quality assurance, it is ensured that the finished assembled end product or the assembled assembly meets the quality requirements and all relevant tolerances have been complied with.

In addition to the methods mentioned here, drilling, clips, press-in, thread cutting, assembly, screws, cutting and ultrasonic joining are also part of the typical methods of assembly.

Challenges in the Assembly of Modules

The main challenge in assembling modules typically lies in integrating highly complex components with various subsystems into a fully functional end product. For example, electrical and mechanical systems, or pneumatic and hydraulic systems, must be coordinated with each other. The complexity lies in taking the interfaces between the two assemblies into account and implementing them professionally.

The assembly requires some high technical know-how from various engineering disciplines. For this reason, this manufacturing step is also often awarded to rewarding, specialized companies. These have the necessary personnel and the necessary devices in highly complex assembly lines. As part of continuous cooperation, it is worthwhile for specialized assembly companies to build their own assembly lines for individual customer requirements.

Which materials can be used?

With regard to the materials, there are no restrictions in assembly. All industry-typical materials can be connected to one another as part of the assembly and can be assembled into an assembly or an end product. The spectrum of materials ranges from metals of all kinds to plastics to wood components.
