View source for Assembly subsystem of a gem-gum factory

This page solely about the assembly (and disassembly) subsystem of <br>
an advanced [[gemstone metamaterial on chip factory]]. <br>
For other subsystems see: [[Subsystems of gem-gum factories]]

== Recurring pattern across assembly levels ==

Across the [[Assembly level]]s there is a repeating pattern but <br>
there is some variation in the nature of …
* handling robotics
* handled parts
* handled connection mechanisms

=== Handling robotics ===

* Nanoscale: [[Mechanosynthesis core]], [[Bottom scale assembly lines in gem-gum factories]], [[Assembly lines in gem-gum factories]], <br>[[Assembly line assembly]], [[Assembly line positioning stage]], [[Assembly line orienting stage]]
* Micro- to mesoscale: [[Robotic manipulators]]
* Mesoscale: [[Part streaming assembly]]
* Macroscale [[Gem-gum tentacle manipulator]], [[Soft-core macrorobots with hard-core nanomachinery]], <br>([[Dynamic rebootstrapping of upper convergent assembly levels]])

=== Handled parts ===

See: [[Examples of diamondoid molecular machine elements]], [[Crystolecule]]

Following shorthands in brackets are from page: '''[[Terminology for parts]]'''.
* [[Crystolecular element]] – (UC) element – a part that is meant to become assembled or already is assembled into a bigger assembly 
* [[Crystolecule fragment]] – (S) fragment – a part that in some sense can be considered a as a cutout of a bigger part => assembly needs welding/fusing/... 
* [[Crystolecular unit]] – (S) unit – something that is in some sense a self contained whole 

'''[[Component (gem-gum factory)]]''',  <br>
* [[Microcomponents]]

=== Handled connection mechanisms ===

See main page: [[Connection mechanism]]

== Details ==

For now there is a good table on the page: <br>
[[Gemstone metamaterial on chip factory]] that is <br>
summarizing the assembly subsystem characteristics across the [[Assembly level]]s.
