Assembly drawings Introduction • A drawing which displays the parts of a machine or a machine unit assembled in their relative working positions is known as assembly drawing. • The assembly drawing would be such that it should satisfy: (i) Manufacturing requirements (ii) Operational requirements (iii) Maintenance requirements. • Designed assembly: This assembly drawing is prepared at the design-stage on a larger scale. • Layout assembly: This is an assembly drawing showing how the parts are assembled with their basic proportions (dimensions). • Installation assembly: This is prepared for the installation or erection of a machine. This is also sometimes known as an outline assembly. • Working drawing assembly: A complete set of working drawings of a machine comprises of detailed drawings, giving all necessary information for the production of individual parts and assembly drawing showing the location of each part. The assembly drawing should be ready before the detailed drawings are accepted as finished and the blue-prints are made. • General assembly: It comprises of the detailed drawings of the individual parts, sub-assembly and the assembly drawings of the machine . Norms to be observed in preparing assembly drawings • (i) Selection of views: The main or important view which is usually in section should show all the individual parts and their relative locations. Additional views are shown only when they add necessary information. • (ii) Sectioning: The parts should be sectioned according to
