such that the maximum number of equipment layouts can be created from the minimum number
of unit sizes.
The result of this work should be parametric standards and technical specifications for
the design of assembly units. The development of schemes of optimal layouts allows to create,
depending on the type of production, the most economically feasible units and to establish the
sequence of their operation in one or another layout. The development of quality indicators for
aggregate equipment is carried out in parallel or ahead of development and experimental work
on the creation of aggregate equipment. This is one of the most important stages of work.
Quality indicators and their specific values are set depending on the design, purpose of the unit,
etc.
The division of products into structurally complete units was the first prerequisite for the
development of the aggregation method.
Further analysis of machine designs showed that many units, assemblies and parts,
different in design, perform the same functions in various
machines. Generalization of particular design solutions
through the development of unified units, assemblies
and parts has significantly expanded the capabilities of
this method.
Currently the transition to the production of
equipment based on large unit-modules is on the agenda.
The modular principle is widespread in
mechanical engineering. In particular, in machine-
tool building, and more recently in shipbuilding Fig. 2. Boring spindle box.
