Quantifying the business case for aerospace assembly automation
… six to ten years and growing, the community sees automation as vital to increasing throughput. Yet the community seems divided on the quantifiable financial benefits. While automation in aerospace assembly dates back to 1937, there is little substantive research on quantifying its business case. …

Assembly Optimization for Double Row Ball Bearings
This thesis is a treatise on optimal assembly methods for double row ball bearings. As with common single row bearings, double row ball bearings, consist of four general components, namely, an inner ring, an outer ring, a complement of balls and a cage or retainer to keep the balls separate. Unlike …
