Assembly subsystem of a gem-gum factory

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

Recurring pattern across assembly levels

Across the Assembly levels there is a repeating pattern but
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,
  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,
  (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),

• Microcomponents

Handled connection mechanisms

See main page: Connection mechanism

Details

For now there is a good table on the page:
Gemstone metamaterial on chip factory that is
summarizing the assembly subsystem characteristics across the Assembly levels.
