Henry Ford is the man who doubled wages, cut the price of a car in half, and produced over two million units a year. Time has not diminished the progressiveness of his business philosophy, or his profound influence on worldwide industry. The modern printing of Today and Tomorrow features an introduction by James J. Padilla, Group Vice President, Ford North America. It also includes an enhanced selection of photos illustrating the processes and facilities Ford covers in the text.
Conceived from years of problem solving, Tool and Die Making Troubleshooter is destined to be an indispensable guide for designing, constructing, and maintaining tools, dies, molds, and fixtures. The book contains hands-on information, valuable tooling tips, and procedural recommendations regarding the selection, processing, and use of materials.
A wide variety of tool materials are used in manufacturing operations. For most applications, more than one type of tool material may be satisfactory, with final selection governed by material availability and economic considerations.
Tool Path Strategies for High Speed Machining
Total Productive Maintenance is a manufacturing improvement method that increases production and reduces waste through continuous attention to the condition of machines and processes. It is a critical element for any successful lean enterprise that relies on production machines and equipment.
This program demonstrates how predictive and preventive maintenance techniques can bring an end to crisis maintenance. You'll see how total productive maintenance (TPM) keeps equipment operating at design specs and gets more output from smaller facilities.
Training Within Industry shows you how the four modules of training within industry (TWI), job relations (JR), job instruction (JI), job methods (JM), and job safety (JS) work together to sustain lean manufacturing.
This Tube Bending program explores the various materials and methods used for bending and end forming tubes.
Turning on the lathe is one of the most common metalcutting operations. Lathes are particularly suited to machining relatively long, cylindrical workpieces, yet can create a variety of parts ranging from small watch components to massive propeller shafts.
