Lectures: Linking between design and assembly (design for assembly, tolerances, design cases) Procedures and systematics on design of assembly systems (determination of problem, rough planning, fine planning, realisation, start-up procedures) Basic principles of assembly and montage systems and influence of manner of transportation an material handling system (Assembly and montage systems without automatically material flow, partly- and completely automatic assembly systems with transportation and warehouse systems). Montage and assembly lines and level of technological points (manual assembly, partly an full automatic assembly points) Design of assembly systems (determination of assembly rhythm, determination of number of working places, determination of buffers, determination of material and information flow), Elements of transportation and material handling system (powered and free conveyors, switch points, manipulation machines) Information flow and information carriers (bar-code, RFID, Pick by light, Pick by voice, …) Buffers (on transportation line buffers, circulation-tipe buffers, special cases of warehousing) Safety demands and cases of assembly cells.
Seminar: Seminar (project) work supplement lectures with practical solutions design problems by assembly systems.
