Topic 4
The modular design concept revolves around creating reusable engineering solutions where portions of previous designs are integrated into new projects. This method is exemplified through various modular components such as slide modules, conveyor modules, pick and place units, and drill head modules.

Topic 4 Modular Design Concept Disadvantage General function (does not allow creativity) Proprietary core technology(unknown to standard manufacturing as we did not do it by ourselves) Constraint by workstation specification Costly Larger Machine Size Advantage Ease of upgrading,scalable ,similar product available Faster delivery time, quick time to market Lower inventory and engineering cost Remove design uncertainty Shorten overall design time (Standard) Known Specifications Proven design/Fully debugged What is it? Example : Slide Module ,Conveyor Module,Pick and Place, Drill head module Strategy : General usefulness for whole of module families' design for future products. Manufacturing : assembled by "building blocks" modules Technique :functions designed in modules combined in subsequent designs. Integrates standard workstation to perform tasks. reusable engineering - portions of previous designs used as new designs. Introduction Machine modules made up of standard machine elements & customised parts and components Can be design-in house / standard purchased from external soruce machine built from different modules capable of certain operation/process Conventional - design from ground up
