Assembly documentation · Continues part 8
Part 9 continues the CAD assembly from part 8 into assembly documentation. It demonstrates draft instructions with 14 steps and 45 model images. The video lasts 90 seconds; it does not document a physical workshop assembly.
What the video demonstrates
The assembly from part 8 provides the model for assembly instructions. AI plans 14 steps in three sections: preassemble the bearing unit, fit it to the support and mount the pulleys. It produces 45 images from the model, tool specifications and inspection points. The video shows the insertion movements, excerpts from the instructions and the accompanying inspection report.
- Document the assembly sequence for 31 parts with tools and inspection notes
- Simulate insertion paths in CAD and compare the final state with part 8
- Distinguish measured information, six assumptions and one missing specification
The instructions are labelled as a draft and are not approved. Six values, including tightening torques, are assumptions that must be replaced with approved specifications. A parallel key is missing from the bill of materials and the model. The demonstrated report marks 11 of 11 insertion movements as collision-free; the elastic retaining ring is treated separately. The assembly sequence, tools and open issues require engineering review before use.
