â– Definition
– It refers to mechanized and automated devices that performers
various assembly tasks in an assembly line or cell
â– Automated assembly systems should be implemented when
– High product demand
– Stable Product design
– A limited number of components in the assembly (Maximum around
dozen)
– The product is designed for automated assembly.

â– Automated assembly systems combine multiple components in to single
entity.
â– It can be final product or subassembly.
â– Following are typical subsystems in assembly automation
â– One or more workstations at which assembly steps are accomplished
â– Part feeding devices that delivers individual components to workstations
â– A work handing system for assembled system

â– Selector or/and Orientor
â– Selector is a device that acts as a filter, permitting only parts in the
correct orientation to pass through.
â– Orientor is a device that allows properly oriented parts to pass through,
and reorients parts that are not oriented properly
