Abstract: With respect to a plurality of evaluation items for evaluating assemblability of an evaluation-target product, assemblability evaluation information as to the evaluation-target product is entered and an assemblability evaluation is performed based on the entered assemblability evaluation information. Simultaneously with the assemblability evaluation, a reverse-assemblability evaluation is performed based on reverse-assemblability evaluation information which is among the entered assemblability evaluation information and which is usable for evaluation items for performing the reverse-assemblability evaluation.

Abstract: An assembling apparatus includes a space-saving parts cassette serving as a parts supply member provided in a parts supply section. A parts accommodating member comprises an injection-molded connecting member and a package. The parts accommodating member is capable of holding not only parts of a simple configuration, but also parts of a complicated configuration, with a high accuracy, whereby the parts cassette can be repeatedly used.

Abstract: A movable table is provided with a guide rail, a movable block capable to move along with the guide rail, a driving means, and a power transmitting means transmitting from the driving means to the movable block; the movable block has a hole to contain the power transmitting means therein, and a bearing is formed between the guide rail and the movable block, and therefore, when a pre-load is applied on the movable block, the parts thereof on which the bearing is formed do not bend in any direction, and proper pre-loaded state is constantly kept.
