Abstract:
1. INTRODUCTION
The design of an automatic assembly machine with versatility in
application was undertaken as a group project by post-graduate
students attending a course in production technology. This
report summarises the work clone and conclusions reached during
the project. In addition there are available five other reports
which describe the designing of different areas of the machine in
full detail (refs. 1 to 6). There is also the report of a technical
survey which was carried out to investigate industrial requirements
for automatic assembly. In order that this report may serve as a
guide, a summary of the content of each of the other reports is
included.
