Mechanical Assembly Options
Each Mechanical Assembly operation provides options that allow you to specify the standard operation time as well as additional time for subcomponents with obstructed access or obstructed line of sight. You specify these values per subcomponent.
Nut Insert
Nut Insert provides the following option:
• Nut Insert Obstructed Or Vision: specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to perform the operation. By default this is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:
o Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
o Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
The time added is looked up by the current process, operation, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Nut Insert Operation Cycle Time.
Press Fit
Press Fit provides the following option:
• Press Fit Obstructed Or Vision: specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to perform the operation. By default this is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:
o Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
o Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
The time added is looked up by the current process, operation, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Press Fit Operation Cycle Time.
Rivet
Rivet provides the following option:
• Rivet Obstructed Or Vision: specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to perform the operation. By default this is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:
o Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
o Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
The time added is looked up by the current process, operation, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Rivet Operation Cycle Time.
Screw Tighten - Manual
Screw Tighten – Manual provides the following option:
• Screew Tighten Manual Obstructed Or Vision: specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to perform the operation. By default this is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:
o Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
o Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 8 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
The time added is looked up by the current process, operation, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Screw Tighten - Manual Operation Cycle Time
Screw Tighten - Power
Screw Tighten – Power provides the following option:
• Screw Tighten Power Obstructed Or Vision: specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to perform the operation. By default this is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:
o Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
o Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
The time added is looked up by the current process, operation, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Screw Tighten - Power Operation Cycle Time.
Snap Fit
Snap Fit provides the following option:
• Snap Fit Obstructed Or Vision: specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to perform the operation. By default this is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:
o Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
o Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
The time added is looked up by the current process, operation, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Snap Fit Operation Cycle Time.
Tab Bend
Tab Bend provides the following options:
• Tab Bend Obstructed Or Vision: specifies whether there is an obstruction or vision problem that adds to the time required to perform the operation. By default this is No obstructed access or vision problem. You can override the default and specify one of the following:
o Obstructed access OR vision problems (adds 2.5 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
o Obstructed access AND vision problems (adds 4 seconds in aPriori starting point VPEs)
The time added is looked up by the current process, operation, and PSO setting in the lookup table tblMechanicalOperationTimes. See Tab Bend Operation Cycle Time.
