Material Handling parts lists
BOMwiki maps 111 material handling products, each exploded into a recursive bill of materials: 89,758 parts in total, down to individual fasteners and cells. The largest is the cross-belt sorter at 25,040 parts across 7 top-level assemblies; the simplest is the pallet truck scale at 23. Across the domain the same components recur: fastener set, ball bearing, microcontroller and wire bundle appear in most of these machines, and each is a single shared page here, so a correction to one fixes every product that uses it. Open any product for its parts diagram, the function of each part, and the full bill of materials.
