PROJECT TWO: MACHINING (50 POINTS)

Product manufacturing by material removal or machining processes is another excellent way of exploring manufacturing processes, such as measurement, layout, facing, drilling, turning, milling, threading, grooving, slotting, and the associated safety procedures. To this end, an aluminum clip stand will be fabricated using lathes, mills, drill presses, sawing machines, grinding machines and hand tools within the activity time schedule.

The clip stand will be fabricated using a team approach. Each team will consist of three (3) students. Each of the three students should be charged with the responsibility of fabricating one of the following four parts of the clip stand: (1) base, (2) clamp, and (3) rod and arm. A two-member team should each get a base and arm, and a clamp and rod respectively. Points are individually earned based on each student’s performance on their assigned tasks, and on processes where the group’s combined responsibilities cannot be separated, such as the operation process chart and assembled product.

OBJECTIVES

1. Introduce students to basic manufacturing processes.

2. Give students an opportunity to fabricate a product and provide process documentation.

MATERIAL

Each student will be given enough aluminum stock and any associated hardware to fabricate into an approved product. The student may purchase extra and/or associated material(s) as the case may be.

REQUIREMENTS, CRITERIA, AND FORMAT OF PROJECT

Students are required to review and familiarize relative laboratory tools, safety procedures and instructor demonstrations before engaging in this project. All written work must be typed. Each student must produce the following within the activity time schedule provided (see product activity schedule):

1. Process Planning Documents:

a) Process charts (8 points)

b) Operation process charts (7 points)

2. A product approved by instructor to meet the following product quality attributes:

a) All specified product dimensions to be within +/- .005” (15 points)

b) Overall finish (burrs, dents, tool marks, scratches, dirt, warps, roughness etc.) (10)

c) Assembled product functionality (functional, completeness, durability, sits square when assembled, strong assembly etc.) 10

SUGGESTED PROCEDURES
