#assemblydrawings

Fabrication drawings that contained detailed information about project component requirements. Here, you can find the major types of fabrication drawings that beneficial to manufacturing industry that can help the design engineers by creating individual part drawings, assemblies, and complete layout etc. Read the following terms:

Single Part Drawing:

A single part drawing depicts just the information need about one single part. It displays the dimensions and scale of the part. It also shows the material the part is made from. Also included are details such as cutting, dimensions, and weight of the material needed for this specific part.

Assembly Drawing:

Contrarily, a full assembly drawing includes a partial list as well as often a material list, which is also sometimes called the BOMs. The full assembly drawing also includes information about how each part will be attached to the assembly and how they will be attached together. In many instances, the production drawings used in manufacturing plants fall under this category but also applies to other industries too.

General Arrangement Drawing:

Yet another form of fabrication drawing is those, which are called general arrangement drawings (GA Drawings), which generally depict the ‘big picture’ involving the project. This drawing includes all the information about how each individual part will fit together to form the final structure.

This type of assembly drawing deals specifically with mechanical components and objects or items that have some mechanism. Alternatively, a mechanical assembly drawing can also mean a technical drawing of a particular system such as a heating or air conditioning network. These types of images can be extremely complex and have a high amount of detail, annotation, and precise measurements.

What is a Mechanical Assembly Drawing? Mechanical assembly drawings help out workers in construction plans and tenders (if concerning heating systems etc.), or in manufacturing environments when machines need to be installed, etc. The drawing is either created by the manufacture of the product or the designer of the system. A mechanical assembly drawing that is used for machinery and individual products will be supplied with the delivery or will be available on request as a downloadable file. Drawings used to describe building system layouts may be included in tender quotations and construction plans. What features does this type of drawing have? Mechanical drawings will have many common features despite being proprietary to the manufacturer; they will also usually follow a particular format and layout. To maintain precision and reliability, the drawings will often be created using CAD software. Some of the common aspects of a Mechanical assembly drawing can be seen below:

Dimensions

Each component of the product or system will be clearly identified with corresponding sizes. This could include the height, width and length, and also diameter and radius for circular components.

Directional Arrows

These simple indicators will show how the different parts connect to form the complete object. Arrows like this will be prevalent in an "exploded" mechanical assembly drawing i.e. one that shows each separate component as a part of the whole.

Component identification

A list of all the individual components will usually be included, together with their relevant part code or reference number. This unique identifier will be used when ordering replacement parts or for reference in repairs etc.
