A complete inventory of the elements needed to improve your hand-deburring operations. Learn how to calculate true costs, define customer requirements, and understand when hand deburring is the right answer.
Extensively illustrated, showing you hundreds of proven designs and illustrations, this book explains dozens of different types of fixtures. Sixteen chapters show you both basic principles and advanced designs and applications for today's flexible systems and numerically controlled machines.
The Handbook of Metal Forming focuses on practical solutions covering production methods, tools, machine tools, and other equipment, as well as precision tool-manufacturing methods and production systems. This comprehensive reference also includes all the relevant aspects of metallurgy, tribology, theory of plasticity, material properties, and process data determination.
High Efficiency Superfinishing of Bearing Rings with CBN
This program covers the array of robot configurations and features segments on robot anatomy and types, robotic programming, and sensors.
Interpreting Process Capability Studies
Use this Introduction to Lean Manufacturing program to familiarize the concept of lean manufacturing to everyone in your organization so they can become more involved in the transition from mass production to lean production. This program explains the core philosophy behind lean manufacturing, and gives insight into why so many companies are adopting the lean principles. This program identifies many value-added and non-value added activities. Learn why total system efficiency is a more appropriate goal than individual efficiencies.
The main goal of kaizen is the elimination of non-value-added activities (waste) through the implementation of one-piece flow, working to takt time, and instituting a pull system. The mantra is to manufacture only what is needed by the customer, when it is needed, and in the quantities ordered. Kaizen has been shown to collapse lead times, dramatically reduce work in process, and reduce scrap and defects while minimizing the need for capital expenditures. Its successful results across industry are real, proven, documented, and confirmed!
