DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING AND ASSEMBLY
(Program Elective- IV)
Course Objectives:
The Student will
1.Understand various steps in the product development process & significance of early
phases of design for economical production
2. Identify interrelations of part geometry, tolerance &casting process
3. Recognize knowledge in metal joining process and to design for welding ,forging &
extruded sections
4. learn design of products for ease of assembly & manufacture
5.study the design of manual assembly process
UNIT - I:
Introduction: Design philosophy steps in Design process - General Design rules for
manufacturability - basic principles of designing for economical production - creativity in
design.
Materials: Selection of Materials for design Developments in Material technology - criteria
for material selection - Material selection interrelationship with process selection process
selection charts.
UNIT-II :
Machining Process: Overview of various machining processes - general design rules for
machining - Dimensional tolerance and surface roughness - Design for machining - Ease -
Redesigning of components for machining ease with suitable examples. General design
recommendations for machined parts
Metal Casting: Appraisal of various casting processes, selection of casting process, - general
design considerations for casting - casting tolerances - use of solidification simulation in
casting design - product design rules for sand casting.
UNIT-III:
Metal Joining: Appraisal of various welding processes, Factors in design of weldments -
general design guidelines - pre and post treatment of welds - effects of thermal stresses in
weld joints - design of brazed joints. Forging - Design factors for forging - Closed dies forging
design - parting lines of die drop forging die design - general design recommendations.
Extrusion & Sheet Metal Work: Design guidelines for extruded sections - design principles
for Punching, Blanking, Bending, and Deep Drawing - Keeler Goodman Forming Line Diagram
- Component Design for Blanking.
UNIT-IV:
Assemble Advantages: 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-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, and 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.
