Definition
装配 is a verb that covers both assembling parts together (as in a factory) and installing equipment (like setting up machines). It is broader than the English 'assemble' — it also includes 'fit together' and 'install'. In Chinese, 组装 is more specific to 'assemble' and 安装 is more specific to 'install', but 装配 can cover both senses, especially in manufacturing and technical contexts.
v.
to assemble (fit together parts or components)to install (set up equipment)
