Mounting

The assembly of parts and components plays a central role in industrial production. Different processes are used depending on the requirements for precision, efficiency and flexibility. Each assembly process has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, speed, precision and flexibility. The choice of the appropriate process depends on the specific requirements of the product and the production targets. The most common assembly processes are as follows:

Manual assembly:
Manual assembly processes are often used when dealing with complex or customised products that cannot be assembled automatically. Skilled labourers use tools and assembly instructions to assemble components and ensure that quality standards are met.

Automated assembly:
Automated assembly systems use robots and specialised machinery to assemble components accurately and efficiently. This method is particularly suitable for series production with high quantities and repeatable assembly steps.

Semi-automated assembly:
In semi-automatic assembly, machines are used in combination with manual labour. This allows flexibility in the assembly of complex products, while at the same time increasing efficiency through the use of machines.

Adhesive technology:
The use of adhesives as an assembly method is becoming more common, especially for materials that are difficult to join together or that do not allow for traditional mechanical fasteners. Bonding techniques offer a clean and easy solution for assembling components.

Welding:
Welding is a common method for permanently joining metal parts. There are various welding techniques such as arc, resistance or laser beam welding, which are chosen depending on the material and application.

Riveting technology:
Riveting is a mechanical process often used in the assembly of sheet metal components. It provides a robust and resilient joint and is often used in combination with other processes to increase structural integrity.

Push-fit and click connections:
These joining techniques are particularly common in the furniture and automotive industries. They allow components to be assembled quickly and without tools using special plug-in or click mechanisms.

Assembly: What techniques do we offer?

Huge variety of assembled modules
The sheet metal and bent parts manufactured in upstream production are combined with a wide variety of components, e.g. from plastics production and machining, to form a single unit in the module assembly department at BVS Systemtechnik. Our experienced fitters assemble the previously laser-cut, punched, bent and welded individual parts into the final product. This results in products for almost every area of application: whether for the electrical engineering industry, mechanical engineering, medical technology, measurement technology, for aviation, the defence industry or information systems – we manufacture your individual system in almost limitless variety.

Assembly: How is the process organized?

All-round project support

Our project support is available for extensive tasks. From the drawing to the installation of the supplied or self-procured components, we work closely with the customer to find the ideal complete solution.

Workshop-style assembly
Depending on the complexity of the end product, our employees adapt their workstations to find the ideal process sequence for the respective assembly. The individual workstations are equipped with height-adjustable assembly tables and computer systems. Via the digital archive, the fitters call up the 3D models and find assembly instructions documented in pictures for the optimum assembly of the enclosures.

At various assembly stations, BVS manufactures, for example, an airplane seat assembly consisting of a large number of individual parts, including stamped aluminum parts, clip nuts, rivets, edge protection, milled and turned parts. The complete assembly is integrated into the flight seats at the end customer and is used to store consumer electronics, table and life jackets. The high number of variants of assemblies will be flexibly processed using assembly islands. Even small quantities can be efficiently inserted in the workshop production at BVS.

Assembly: Which machines are available?

Component assembly: Connection technology

1 semi-automated machine for riveting and press-fitting standard parts, with stroke monitoring
4 assembly workstations for the completion of complex assemblies from in-house production, purchased and standardised parts.

How is the specialized staff organized?

The experienced team can look back on many years of experience and stands for the professional assembly of components. With their specialist training, internal and external training courses and in-depth practical expertise, they assemble a wide variety of assemblies for a wide range of applications. In order to manage this wide range of products, BVS continuously adapts the assembly area to the current orders. The optimisation of workstations, equipment, intermediate storage and material flow as well as the continuous training of our staff ensures a productive and high-quality result for component assembly at BVS Systemtechnik.
