Design & Assembly of Switch Assembly & Testing Machine

Project Title : Switch Assembly & Testing Line
Aim : To design and build an machine (assembly line) which facilitates
the automatic assembly of switch (3mm pressing depth) on EKT
component and solder it thereby checking the continuity of the circuit
in the EKT component within the tolerance band (positional tolerance
of 10micron) as mentioned by the manufacturer. The operational
cycle time is 15 seconds for each component.

Approach :

The complete assembly process is analyzed and is broken down

into sequence of steps resulting in 5 number of stations based
upon various factors that include manufacturing feasibility,
ergonomics, variants, standards, cost and the type of process
A conceptual approach identifying critical process in each station
is done thereby developing respective solutions for the fixture
design, decision on the standard machine elements that are to
be used in order to build the station.
An embodiment stage where all the engineering calculations are
done in building the machine and the selection of appropriate
materials for the fabrication parts.
A 3D model is generated for each of the generated concepts of
the complete machine including the base structure and
enclosure and other control elements.
2D preparation for all the machine elements is then prepared for
the fabrication of the machine and the standard parts are bought
out thereby the assembly of the machine is made.
