HIGH-TECH TECHNOLOGIES IN ASSEMBLY PRODUCTION

Assembly is an important stage of production that has a substantial impact on the quality of manufactured products. Due to the complexity of structures, severization ofquality requirements and increased technical and economic characteristics of manufactured products, taking into account constant scientific and technological progress in machine building, the task of quality assuarance and achieving the maximum identity of products is becoming more and more relevant. The success of assembly automation projects implementation is associated with the need for geometric and technological design concurrency. The success of the implementation of assembly automation projects is associated with the need for both geometric and technological design concurrency. The article describes an approach to solving this problem considering the consistent technological improvement of the product through assembly prism. Currently, the problem of assembly quality is a key one in mechanical engineering field. The article discusses the intercoordination of the assembly with all the stages of production, going before. An analysis of the problems associated with assembly production in this area was carried out. The level of assembly automation in Russia in the field of mechanical engineering does not exceed 10%. An increase in the level of assembly automation can be achieved only through the creation and research of new methods of automatic and robotic assembly. The article describes the technological capabilities and applications of new methods of automatic assembly. The possibilities of samples of experimental assembly equipment, created and studied at the universities of Russia, are studied. A particular problem is the lack of a single source manufacturer of automatic assembly equipment in Russia. The article draws attention to the need of the creation and implementation of intelligent assembly equipment and technologies. As a result of this analysis, issues have been identified, the solution of them can be made at the sector-specific and state levels.
