Technical Drawing in Engineering

Lecture 10. Industrial assemblies

Definition and aims
 Drawing of the assembly:
 Graphic representation of a set of objects that are part of
a mechanism or machine

 Aims:
 An assembly drawing must
give information of:
 The shape of the objects
 The position
 The dimensions
 The mounting and dismounting
 Its operation
 Sometimes some of the above
information is not given

Lecture 10. Industrial assemblies

Features
 The elements are joined and mounted together.
 They should be represented in operation conditions
 The assembly drawing should allow to identify all of the
elements.
 Should allow placing the elements in the assembly.
 May not define in a graphic way some of the objects.
 Standard objects: designation.
 Represented, generally, in orthogonal projection, with
the most appropriate cuts and views.
 Generally are cut (symmetry plane). Not all the elements
are affected by the cutting plane.
 The standard joint elements are not cut nor hatched
(screws, etc.) Long elements which are cut longitudinally
are not cut or hatched either (axes, shafts, nuts, washers,
etc.)
Lecture 10. Industrial assemblies
Features
 Non adjacent objects should be hatched with lines in
different directions.
 The contact surfaces between two adjacent objects is
represented by only one line.
 In thread representation, the thread of the screw will
prevail over the thread of the nut.
 The standard elements can be represented with symbolic
lines as stated in the standards if it is not ambiguous
 If the assembly is very complicated several sets of
objects will be defined and sub-assemblies will be
represented.

PART LIST

Lecture 10. Industrial assemblies

Marks
Number that identifies each one of the objects in
the assembly
 It is repeated in all of the documents for each of the objects
 Identical objects have the same mark (indicating the
quantity in the part list)
 An Arabic number is used to identify the object (in electric
diagrams a letter will be used)
 The numbers will be assigned consecutively, following an
order given by the mounting of the assembly, the
importance, the size, etc.
 The height of the numbers is double the height of the
dimension
 They are placed outside the drawing area
 Joined to the drawing by a reference line which ends in a
point
 Standard UNE 1100: 1983
Lecture 10. Industrial assemblies
Part list
Table in which the necessary information to
complete the identification of each of the marks
is given by text
 Placed in the drawing and in the same drawing where the
assembly is.
 It has as many rows as the different elements that the
assembly has and the notation begins in the lower row.
 It includes the following information:
 Number of the mark
 Name
 Quantity
 Can include other information as:
 Material
 Dimensions
 Reference…

Graphic representation of each of the elements of
the assembly

 It should contain the enough information allowing the

manufacturing of the object:

 Views, cuts and section

 Dimensions and tolerances
 Surface finish
