JNTUK B.Tech Product Design and Assembly Automation gives you detail information of Product Design and Assembly Automation R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Couse objective: To impart the importance of various automatic feeding devices and automation and design of manual assembly systems. Further project design using latest sophisticated technologies using Robots in assembly lines.
UNIT –I : AUTOMATIC FEEDING AND ORIENTING DEVICES: Vibrator feeders : Mechanics of vibratory conveying, estimating the mean conveying velocity, load sensitivity, solutions to load sensitivity, spiral elevators, balanced feeders.
UNIT – II : Orientation of typical oriental system, effect of active orienting devices on feed rate, analysis of orienting systems, performance of an orienting device, natural resting aspects, of parts for automatic handing, analysis of a typical orienting system, out-of-bowl tooling. Mechanical feeders. Reciprocating -tube hopper feeder; magazines:
UNIT-III : Assemble Automation: Development of the assemble process, choice of assemble method assemble advantages social effects of automation. Automatic assembly transfer systems: Continuous transfer, intermittent transfer, indexing mechanisms, and operator – paced free – transfer machine.
UNIT-IV : Product design for high speed automatic assembly and robot assembly :Introduction, design of parts for: high speed, feeding and orienting, example, additional feeding difficulties, high speed automatic insertion, example, analysis of an assembly, general rules for product design for automation, design of parts for feeding and orienting, summary of design rules for high speed automatic assembly, product for robot assembly.
UNIT-V : Design of manual assembly: Design for assembly fits in the design process, general design guidelines for manual assembly, development of the systematic DFA methodology, assembly efficiency, classification system for manual handling, classification system for manual insertion and fastening, effect of part symmetry on handling time, effect of part thickness and size on handling time, effect of weight on handling time, parts requiring two hands for manipulation, effects of combinations of factors, effect of symmetry effect of chamfer design on insertion operations, estimation of insertion time.
UNIT-VI : Avoiding jams during assembly, reducing risk assembly problems, effects of holding down, manual assembly data base and design data sheets, application of the DFA methodology and general design guidelines. Performance and economics of assembly systems: Indexing machines, free transfer machines, basis for economic comparisons of automation equipment, comparison of indexing and free – transfer machines’ economics of robot assembly. Feasibility study for assembly automation: Machine design factors to reduce machine downtime due to defective parts. Visibility study.
Course outcome: The students completing the course will be able to understand project design and mechanization of assembly lines. Further they will be having enough knowledge in robot assembly.
