Summary

5. Summary What will we learn in Chapter 6? Key Points.
How to create an assembly drawing.
How to create a standard parts sheet.
Key Points.
Assembly drawings show how individual parts fit together to make a machine.
A standard parts sheet contains purchased items.

6. Assembly Drawings
6.1) Definitions

7. Assembly Drawing What is an assembly drawing and why do we need them?
An assembly drawing is a drawing of an entire machine or system with all of its components located and identified.
We need to know how to put the machine together.

8. Parts List
(Bill of Materials)
Part#’s

9. Subassembly Drawing
Subassembly: Two or more parts that form a portion of an assembly.
Can you think of some examples of subassemblies?
A car engine
A bike derailleur
A compressor in an AC

10. Definitions Does an assembly drawing normally show size?
How do we show the size of an individual part?
No. Its job is to locate parts.
A detail drawing is a drawing of an individual part, which includes an orthographic projection and dimensions.

11. Working Drawing Package
Working Drawing Package: A packet of drawings that gives the specifications necessary to manufacture a design.
A typical working drawing package includes;
an assembly drawing,
detailed drawings,
and a standard parts sheet.
A standard part sheet contains information about purchased items and will be discussed later.

12. Drawing Order
Drawings included in a working drawing package should be presented in the following order.
Assembly drawing (first sheet)
Part Number 1
Part Number 2
....
Standard parts sheet (last sheet)

13. 6.2) Views Used in Assembly Drawings

14. Selecting Views
Does an assembly drawing need a FRONT, TOP and RIGHT SIDE view?
We need as many views as it takes to identify and locate each part.
It may only take one view.
Sometimes

15. Needed 3 views to locate all of the parts.

16. Needed only 1 view to locate all of the parts.

17. Sectional Views
Sectional views are used quite often when drawing assemblies.
Why?
Assemblies often have parts fitting into or overlapping other parts and we need to look inside the assembly to see clearly.

19. Section Lines in Assemblies
Section Lines: Section lines in adjacent parts are drawn in opposing directions.
In the largest area, section lines are drawn at 45
Next largest = 135 (- 45o)
Additional areas = 30 and 60
Smaller areas = The distance between the section lines may also be varied to further distinguish between parts.

20. Section lines in assemblies
Exercise 6-1

21. Exercise 6-1
Draw the section lines for the assembly shown.

22. Fill in the section line is the largest area.

23. Fill in the section line is the 2nd largest area.

24. Fill in the section line is the next largest area.

25. Fill in the section line is the last area.
-30o, smaller spacing

26. 30o

Assembly Drawings
6.3) Things to Include/
Not Include

28. Things to Include / Not Include
When deciding what to include in an assembly drawing remember;
The purpose of an assembly drawing is to show how the individual parts fit together.
It is not used as a manufacturing print.

29. Things to Include / Not Include
The assembly drawing should not look overly cluttered.
Some lines that are necessary in a detailed drawing may be left off the assembly drawing to enhance clearness.

30. Hidden Lines Do we include hidden lines?
They should be used wherever necessary for clearness.
They should be left off when they impair clearness.
When a section view is used, hidden lines should not be used in that view.
Usually

31. Dimensions Do we include dimensions?
As a rule, dimensions are not given on assembly drawings.
If dimensions are given, they are limited to some function of the object as a whole.
Usually not

32. Identification
Ballooning: A part is located and identified, in an assembly drawing, by using a circle containing the part number and a leader line that points to the corresponding part.

33. Leader lines point to the corresponding part.
Balloons containing part numbers.

34. Balloons are placed in orderly horizontal or vertical rows.

35. The leader lines;
should not cross,
be as parallel as possible.

36. Parts List / Bill of Material
The parts list is an itemized list of the parts that make up the assembled machine.

37. Parts List / Bill of Material
Parts lists contain the
part number, part name, the number required and the material of the part.

38. Parts List / Bill of Material
Parts lists contain the
Other information can be included, such as, stock sizes of materials and weights of the parts.

39. Parts List / Bill of Material
Parts are listed in order of their part#.
Part#’s are usually assigned based on the size or importance of the part.

40. The parts list may be placed in the upper right corner of the drawing.
- Part# 1 is at the top.

41. The parts list may be placed in the lower right corner of the drawing.
- Part# 1 is at the bottom.

6.4) Standard Parts

43. Standard Parts
Standard parts include any part that can be bought off the shelf.
They do not need to be drawn.
Purchasing information is given on the standard parts sheet attached to the back of the working drawing package.
