It is therefore important to know the characteristics of the available engineering materials Raw materials used manufacturing of products, tools, machines and equipments in factories or industries are extracted from ores The ores are suitably converted the metal into a molten form by reducing or refining processes 4 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology in foundries This... Ford Motor Company to describe the automatic handling of materials and parts between the process operations The word ‘automation’ is derived from the Greek word automatos meaning self-acting Automation can also be defined as the process of following a predetermined sequence of operations with little or no human intervention, using specialized equipment and devices that 8 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing. .. within a well planned manufacturing organization The complete understanding of basic manufacturing processes and workshop technology is highly difficult for any one to claim expertise over it The study deals with several aspects of workshops practices also for imparting the basic working knowledge of the different engineering materials, tools, equipments, manufacturing processes, basic concepts of electromechanical... Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology perform and control the manufacturing process Automation is a word that has many meanings in the industry today Automatic machines of all kinds existed long before the term automation was conceived But, it should be noted that all automatic machines do not come under the category of automation Automation is a technology concerned with the... Diffusion welding, (12) Keys and cotters joints, (13) Coupling and (14) Nut and bolt joints 1.7.5 Surface Finishing Processes Surface finishing processes are utilized for imparting intended surface finish on the surface of a job By imparting a surface finishing process, dimension of part is not changed functionally; 6 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology either a very negligible... processes used in manufacturing concern for changing the ingots into usable products may be classified into six major groups as primary shaping processes, secondary machining processes, metal forming processes, joining processes, surface finishing processes and processes effecting change in properties These are discussed as under 1.7.1 Primary Shaping Processes Primary shaping processes are manufacturing. .. the tools required to be coordinated in order to an economical and high quality production of various components It should be such that it ensures timely movement of raw materials, dies moulds, jigs and fixtures and finished components, adequate safety to men, material and machinery, enables timely inspection and quality control and minimizes handling time for material and parts, etc During actual manufacturing. .. increasing manufacturing efficiency 10 Explain the terms CAD, CAM, NC, CAD/CAM, MRP, FMS and CIM? 11 Write a short note on Group Technology? 12 Explain the influence exerted by the computers on the manufacturing scene? 13 Briefly explain the conventional process of the product cycle in the conventional manufacturing environment 16 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology . themselves with modern concepts of manufacturing technologies. The basic need is to provide theoreti- cal and practical knowledge of manufacturing processes and workshop technology to all the engineering. automatic and numerical control systems, higher mechanization and greater output. 1 CHAPTER 2 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology 1.2 SCOPE OF STUDY Today’s competitive. the metal into a molten form by reducing or refining processes 4 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology in foundries.
