Photos to vector line Illustrations for Instructions

As a part of my job, I need to recreate many photographs as line drawing illustrations (see attached screengrab of original photo and manually redrawn illustration). Asking if there any easy way to convert a raster based jpg into a simplified line illustration? I am looking for line illustration that will allow me to specify line thickness, ie. .25, rather that the Image Trace function in Illustrator which tends to create overlaying objects to creat a line, ie. Black shape in the background with a white object overlaying the black which forms the outline. 

Maybe I'm stupid, but I just don't seem to be able to find something that gives a satisfactory result easily.

Anyone out there have any hints, tips or (helpmful) advice, would be greatly appreciated

TIA

No. That's a nut nobody has cracked, not even some fancy A.I.-based tool. In any case, the better question would really be what the purpose of the whole venture is, what the requirements are and whether other workflows would not be better. If it's e.g. for tech doc, using the original CAD data is common practice for instance and that applies for other things just as well.

This used to be my job, also in the automotive sector, for repair methods (third party, so no CAD models available). To speed things up we simply switched to photos.
