<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assembly Lines have come a very long way; from Henry Ford to
artificial intelligence and machine learning, assembly automation has gone
through a transformative period over the last century. The assembly line is one
of the greatest advancements in technology and has radically changed the way
that many important things – such as cars, mechanical parts, computers, planes,
etc. – are made. The evolution of assembly automation is exciting and
interesting to see; we’ll take a brief look at the history of assembly lines
and what is on the horizon for future technologies. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Evolution of
Assembly Automation </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Ford is often credited with the first automotive assembly line, a more fitting title would have to be “the father of mass-produced automobiles”. The first automotive assembly line actually came from Ransom Olds – the Oldsmobile brand – in 1901. This new manufacturing and assembly process allowed Olds’ output to increase by 500% in one year, with nearly 20 cars rolling off the line each day. For this time, this level of production was unheard of. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="784" src="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-1024x784.jpg" alt="Ford Model T " class="wp-image-538" srcset="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-1024x784.jpg 1024w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-300x230.jpg 300w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-768x588.jpg 768w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-700x536.jpg 700w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines.jpg 1958w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately for Olds, Henry Ford dramatically improved
upon this idea by utilizing a series of moving platforms, otherwise known as a
conveyor system. The vehicle was towed by a rope attached to the chassis of
each vehicle, which allowed workers at each station to quickly assemble the
parts they were responsible. This method allowed production of a Model T in about
90 minutes; during one of Ford’s best years using this method, about two
million automobiles rolled off of the assembly line. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Importance of
Assembly Lines</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a number of reasons why assembly lines are so
important and beneficial to society. For starters, before assembly lines,
workers were often tasked with the same, repetitive, and mundane task for hours
upon hours each day. This led to a large degree of worker dissatisfaction and
mental drudgery. From a manufacturer’s standpoint, the worker’s physical and
mental degradation inevitably leads to decreased work output and productivity. Worker
dissatisfaction led to innovations in the field, such as Olds’ and Ford’s
assembly lines, as well as the nearly fully-automated assembly lines we see
today. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This increase in technology, despite what many say, has actually led to an increase in the skill of plant workers and the number of jobs available in the sector. For example, the company Rethink Robotics designed a robot named Baxter, which is a low-cost and user-friendly machine capable of operating at $3 an hour and vastly improving efficiency and work productivity. Technology like this has led to the creation of 3-5 million new jobs and has allowed the U.S. to be about 3 times as efficient and productive as China. Workers are now, instead of being trained in short, repetitive, and mundane tasks, being trained in the complex operation, maintenance, and design of these sophisticated systems. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="672" src="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-1024x672.jpeg" alt="automotive assembly line " class="wp-image-539" srcset="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-1024x672.jpeg 1024w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-300x197.jpeg 300w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-768x504.jpeg 768w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-700x459.jpeg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>3d rendering of robot assembly line in car factory</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Innovations in
Assembly Lines </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to be
implemented into existing assembly system architecture to further improve upon
old technology. Machine learning is simply the study of models and algorithms
that can be implemented into computer systems; these algorithms attempt to
teach a machine a specific task with specific instructions; rather, the machine
must rely on inference and patterns instead. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditionally, each automated machine in an assembly line
has a specific instruction – or task – to be performed. Each machine must be
programmed for a specific instruction, such as drilling a hole, punching a
rivet, etc. With machine learning and artificial intelligence, the end result
of a task can be programmed, such as the size and depth of a drilled hole;
then, the machine will decide which drill-bit to use, how far to drill the
hole, and calculate the drill speed by itself. As we continue to move through
time, fully automated assembly lines will become more and more commonplace and
effective. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The history of CNC machining developed in the 1940s and 1950s, with the first CNC machines relying heavily on the most common telecommunication data storage of the time; this technology was known as “perforated paper tape” or “punched tape”. This technology is now long-obsolete as data mediums transitioned from analog to digital computer processing in the 1950s-60s. The machines during the 1940s-50s followed the instructions of the specific points that were fed into the machine on punched tape. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first CNC Machine was said to belong to the Parsons
Corporation in Travers City, Michigan. This system used punched tape to produce
templates for helicopter blades. In 1942, John Parsons calculated airfoil
coordinates on an IBM 602A data multiplier and then fed the data points into a
Swiss jig borer. This was considered the first CNC machine as the system read
and produced manufactured goods based on preprogrammed information. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the 1960s, CNC machining began to make the switch
from analog technology to digital software and computer-controlled devices.
During the 1960s, relays and electronic tubes were replaced with transistors,
and integrated circuits replaced punched tape. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Does CNC Stand
for in Machining? </strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Machines that operate with <strong>Computer Numerical Control</strong> are electro-mechanical devices used to manipulate machine shop tools using specific computer programming inputs. CNC machining is one of the most popular methods for generating prototypes from a digital software file. The other most popular method would have to be 3D printing technology, such as SLS/SLM, SLA, and FDM. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CNC machining, in general, helps transform stock pieces of
materials (such as a brick of steel or plastic) into a finished product. CNC
relies on inputted computer data to instruct the machine how to cut the
prototype parts. By automating your machine tools, it rapidly improves shop
productivity and improves bottom line costs. Many materials can be used, but
the most common types of materials are brass, aluminum, copper, steel, wood,
foam, titanium, fiberglass, and various types of plastics such as
polypropylene. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What to Look for in a
CNC Machining Provider </strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Choosing a <a href="http://automationtechsupport.com/">reputable
machining and tool engineering company</a> is your first step when looking to
automate your assembly line or production line. Look for a strong track record
of experience, references, customer support, and short turn-around times. An
experienced company will be able to provide multiple references and examples of
their work without reservation. For any metal fabrication or machining
organization, there will be a host of important licensing considerations and
important regulatory facets that a machine shop should keep in mind. At
Automation Tech Services, we have a strong safety protocol and follow all relevant
federal regulations. There will be no delay in our high-quality service due to
procedural reasons. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Advantages of CNC
Machining</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are many reasons as to why CNC machining is so
popular. Since the fabrication of the product is completely automated when the
CNC machine is in use, the operator faces less risk of injury and increases the
level of safety of the shop workers. CNC machining is cost-effective because it
reduces waste with increased accuracy, which minimizes losses and improves
profits. CNC machining is also incredibly fast when compared to hand-fashioning
a product, which results in increased workload and productivity. CNC machines
are also built with feature and failure detectors for internal quality
assurance, which cuts down on raw material use and increases efficiency. </p>
