Fastening Assembly Training Objective After watching the video and reviewing this printed material, the viewer will gain knowledge and understanding of the various fastening devices and assembly methods used in manufacturing. • Various mechanical fastener types and assembly devices are shown • Adhesive bonding is explained • Manual and automated assembly systems are demonstrated • Major automated assembly machines are illustrated Assembly in manufacturing consists of fastening various components into either a functioning unit or a higher level subassembly. Ideally, a product design should reduce to a minimum the number of parts requiring assembly. In most situations, however, the fastening and assembly of several component parts is a necessity. Assembly may be performed manually, semi-automatically, or by fully automatic operation using mechanical fastening, and or joining methods, such as adhesive bonding. Mechanical Fastening The most common mechanical fastening methods include: • Integral fasteners • Threaded fasteners • Non-threaded fasteners • Stapling Integral fasteners are formed areas designed into sheet metal products. Integral fasteners function by interlocking or interfering one component with other components during assembly. The three most common types of integral fasteners include: • Embossed protrusions • Edge seams • Hemming Embossed protrusions are formed between two sheet metal components by drawing a small cup-shaped section through them. As the metals are squeezed through the components they impact and expand on a die, producing a interlocked button with a greater diameter than the drawn section. This process is also called clinching or clinch joining. Edge seams interlock the edges of sheet metal parts by folding the edges of both components over each other. Edge seams not only reinforces the entire assembly, but also eliminates sharp edges. Hemming assembles sheet metal parts together by bending
