Process taxonomy ontology Otto Hylli Process of joining two or more parts by application of screws. <p style="margin-top: 0"> This refers to flexible </p> ShapingManufacturing class includes processes which change the shape of the processed object. Parent class for various welding processes. Welding involves joining two or more parts together by causing fusion by using heat or pressure. A testing process is a quality process which is needed for qualifying and/or quantifying certain product (part) properties within production system. Process of joining two or more parts by application of rivets. Process to attach parts together by thread features. Bulk feeding is a parent class for feeding processes in which the parts are fed from bulk, i.e. they are not pre-oriented or structured, but just in random position and orientation when the process starts. Flexible feeding is a feeding process in which bulk parts are separated, and randomly positioned and oriented parts are fed by the help of machine vision. Process of joining two or more parts by application of springs. DeformingFixating class includes processes which fixes two or more parts together by deforming the parts. Parent class for auxiliary processes necessary for preparing products or parts for further industrial processes or to final customer. This is a process for performing orbital riveting (orbital movement). The process of joining two or more parts through the application and deformation of staples. The process of writing codes or any other marks relevant for product identification. This is the process for performing blind riveting. It means riveting from only one side of the product. The use of printing technology for the application of marking onto a part or product. Feeding process in which the parts are fed to an assembly or process station by transporting them e.g. by a conveyr. The application of material around a final product in order to cover it. The use of pen-type device for the application of marking onto a part or product. PlasticDeforming class includes processes which fixes two or more parts together by plastically deforming the parts (irreversible). Fixing two or more parts together with adhesive which is heated. The use of laser technology for the application of marking onto a part or product. This process combines the picking, transporting and placing processes into one process. Tube feeding is a capability in which the parts are fed from tube (magazines) in a known position and orientation. Fastening class includes processes in which parts are fixed together by using mechanical fasteners. The application of a protective enclosure around the product. The application of a special material to a package to ensure its resistance against given elements and/or unwarranted handling. Process of joining two or more parts by application of tape. Process of mounting o-rings. The use of pressure (stamping) in the application of some form of identification to a product or part. Parent class for joining related process. Joining includes processes which join (fix) two or more parts together during assembly process. ElasticDeforming class includes processes which fixes two or more parts together by elastically deforming the parts (reversible). Bulk box feeding process feeds parts directly from bulk, e.g. from boxes. Other commonly used term is bin picking. Machine vision is needed to identify the position and orientation of the parts. A preparation process is an auxiliary process necessary for preparing products or product parts to be processed by the production system. Bowl feeding is a feeding process in which the bulk parts are separeted, oriented and positioned in a bowl by vibration. Processes which fix two or more parts together by applying some sort of adhesives. Inserting process is a process in which a part is placed to a certain location by applying force. This is a process for performing radial riveting (radial movement). Manufacturing class includes manufacturing processes. A manipulation process is a handling process which is needed for re-orienting products or parts, to be able to undergo another assembly process. The use of ink for the application of marking onto a part or product. This is a process for performing impact riveting (linear movement). Parent class for assembly related processes. The process of joining two parts through the sewing of the parts edges. The operation is performed by alternately crossing up and down a series of holes performed on the two overlapped edges with some kind of string. Non-shaping manufacturing class includes processes which don't change the shape of the processed object. A measuring process is a quality process which is needed for qualifying and/or quantifying certain product (part) properties within production system. Tape feeding is a process in which the parts attached to a tape are provided in a known position and orientation. A inspection process is a quality process which is needed for qualifying and/or quantifying certain product (part) properties within production system. Soldering is a process in which two or more parts are joined together by melting and putting a filler metal (solder) into the joint. Process of joining two or more parts by application of nails. Fixing two or more parts together by using adhesive, which is cured by UV light. Fixing two or more parts together with glue, which doesn't need any specific curing process (e.g. heating or UV light). The placing of products or parts into boxes (rigid material). The process by which the finalised product is placed into a protective shell. An auxiliary process (group of processes), needed for qualifying or quantifying certain quality aspects within a production system. Logistic process is an auxiliary process (group of processes) needed for controlling the logistic issues within the production system. Doesn't add value to the product, but are needed to complete the other processes. The application of a material slip (as of paper or cloth) inscribed and affixed to a part or product for identification or description. Tray feeding is a process in which the parts are pre-structured (positioned and oriented) on trays, which provide the parts for the assembly station. Vibratory feeding is a process by which bulk parts are separated and provided in a certain position and orientation with the help of vibration. Feeding process provides the parts to the working area to be grasped by a robot or human. The placing of products or parts into specific bags (soft material).
