A look at low‐cost general‐purpose automated assembly

Abstract

GENERAL‐PURPOSE assembly can be defined as automated assembly where more than one assembly task is carried out using the same piecepart transfer equipment. In its simplest form, this would involve the assembly of a unique product but clearly, with the capability for handling different parts, there is potential for assembling product variants and possibly even significantly different products.
