Assembly operations have traditionally been performed manually, either at single assembly workstations or on assembly lines with multiple stations. Owing to the high labour content and high cost of manual labour, greater attention has been given in recent years to the use of automation for assembly work. Assembly operations can be automated using production line principles if the quantities are large, the product is small, and the design is simple (e.g., mechanical pencils, pens, and cigarette lighters). For products that do not satisfy these conditions, manual assembly is generally required.
Automated assembly machines have been developed that operate in a manner similar to machining transfer lines, with the difference being that assembly operations, instead of machining, are performed at the workstations. A typical assembly machine consists of several stations, each equipped with a supply of components and a mechanism for delivering the components into position for assembly. A workhead at each station performs the actual attachment of the component. Typical workheads include automatic screwdrivers, staking or riveting machines, welding heads, and other joining devices. A new component is added to the partially completed product at each workstation, thus building up the product gradually as it proceeds through the line. Assembly machines of this type are considered to be examples of fixed automation, because they are generally configured for a particular product made in high volume. Programmable assembly machines are represented by the component-insertion machines employed in the electronics industry, as described above.

Автоматическая сборка
Некоторый прогресс был достигнут в автоматизации простейшего монтажа. Существует множество механических устройств, способных собрать воедино простейшую деталь. Они используются при сборке деревянных дверей, оконных петель и частей двигателя, закупорке бутылок, сборке электрических лампочек. Их сфера применения в будущем возможно возрастет. При высокотехнологичном монтаже, где требуются деликатные манипуляции и регулирование машина все еще уступает человеку.
Наиболее лучшее достижение – это то, что автоматическая сборка будет выполнятся гораздо проще, путем создания новых конструкций выпускаемой продукции и переустройства процесса таким образом, чтобы исключить большой объем квалифицированного ручного труда. На самом деле это имеет место при сборке электро-радио схем и телевизоров. Только человек способен собрать обычную схему, которая выполнена из сложной системы электропроводки, но уже возможно печатать или травить схемы на изоляционной основе при помощи автоматических устройств. Сборка стала простым делом помещения компонентов, таких как резисторы и конденсаторы на материнскую плату и это возможно выполнять автоматически.
