Improving workshop efficiency through layout
“Once you have decided that setting up a metalworking workshop will provide you with the facilities for an interesting pastime, you will naturally be keen to make progress with the idea quickly. However, there is no point in purchasing a lathe if you do not have a suitable place to house it” (Hall 5). First you need to decide what the main purpose for the workshop and what is your budget. Do you want to make model engines or restore a full-size locomotive? From that decision, you can establish what equipment you will need. The size and amount of equipment will then help decide the size of the workshop (Hall 5). Although, sometimes the size of the workshop may dictate the type and size of the tools. One example of this is that J. Baldwin shoehorned all his tools and workspace into a 2 1/2 ton Chevy van with a custom foldout (Landis 140).
Whatever the project, the same basic tools will be required. Number one on the list would be a lathe, and second is a drilling machine, then a band saw. And finally in terms of major machines that are required is the milling machine. Other smaller equipment most would add to that list includes a shaper and surface grinder (Hall 9). In a smaller workshop, the major tools may be different based upon the workshop’s purpose. The last two Items may not be a necessity in a smaller workshop.
Since these pieces of equipment are quite large and not easily moved, you need to decide where to put them before purchasing and installing. Probably the best method is to make paper, card-board or scrap wood cut-outs of each major item. “These need not be too detailed so basic rectangles will suffice, but be sure to allow for access at the sides, for example, for open...

The Italian Centre Shop shows many attributes as for how they are able to build on their strengths. This in the end helps a company to expand and grow further to improve their internal performance and as well by gaining more consumers (Kerin, et al., 2015). Firstly, the company’s main strength relies on the location of the different branches, being placed strategically so it is easier to bring in more consumers as well as being easily accessible for people around those areas. Two of the three locations in Edmonton are situated beside shopping centers, Southgate mall and West Edmonton mall, which in the West end is the most popular attraction of the city. The third branch is located in North Edmonton which is known for the heart of “Little Italy”(Spinelli, 2016). Secondly, the Italian Centre Shop sells a variety of merchandise and different cuisine from all around the world, the main place being Italy and others which include: Spain, Romania, Portugal, Ukraine and Poland (Spinelli, 2016). This helps to expand the company’s target market while still keeping
Introduction: the aim of this assignment is to gain general awareness and an understanding of the legal requirements and responsibilities that are involved in the safe working practices associated with robotic assisted manufacture. This is to be achieved by the identification of associated hazards with robotic applications and provide an understanding of how these hazards are overcome.
The program consists of precise instructions about the methodology of manufacture as well as movements. For example, what tool is to be used, at what speed, at what feed and to move from which point to which point in what path. Since the program is the controlling point for product manufacture, the machine becomes versatile and can be used for any part. All the functions of a NC machine tool are therefore controlled electronically, hydraulically or pneumatically. In NC machine tools, one or more of the following functions may be automatic.bhk
A. When considering what piece of equipment to use for a job, you should consider what the task is, what tools you have to hand and which tool can be used most safely, appropriately and efficiently.
We have all been there. We walk into the garage of our mechanic’s shop, taking a quick glance; we see the huge elaborate toolboxes that each mechanic owns. Most of them are from Mac, Matco or Snap-On. Unless you work in the tool industry most people do not realize what the real cost of each of these boxes is.
Carpentry is a field with mostly work consisting of cutting, constructing, and protecting building materials with cement formwork, timber spans, structures, etc.… Cabinet making and furniture building are also considered to be carpentry. One of the oldest building materials ever used is wood. There are many types of building materials utilized in today’s work though, including, LVL beams-, treated lumber,
1. The Workshop, contains 10 attributes to overcome a imposible mindset and walk into your destiny. Approximately 1-2 hrs, this workshop/speech is designed to empower and motivate your employees or students to unlock their inner creativeness; and walk in possibility.
The easel they can work with a big book, the computers are for test or practice question and answer kind of thing, desk is for a recorder so that they can listen to a story, and the round table would be used for a worksheet practicing on whatever they need to be learning. The same will be for the math circles.

Buildings, bridges, construction sites, refineries, and almost everything manufactured in the world, what is used in these places? The answer is most likely about welding. Welding is defined as the process by bonding two metals together by using heat(“Welders,Cutters,Solderers,and Brazers”). Many people do not realize without welding the world would not have a lot of the things that it has today(Bemont,Reno). Vehicles people drive every day would not be there. Which would result a person having to walk to travel.
Keep cords and cables in one place with our Hollow Servo Motor, which is designed with a flange-mount hollow bore. It allows for media – power cables, pipes and hoses – to pass through the motor. The motor produces powerful torque and high stiffness with a low total weight, making it well suited for applications where the motor is also moving. It is ideal for industrial robots, machinery, machine tools, automatic assembly machines, converting and printing, handling equipment, and laser machine
Most carpenters follow the same basic steps when getting ready for a job. They must layout or design the project. Design includes measuring, marking, and arranging materials. The carpenter then cuts and shapes the material. Carpenters use different hand and power tools, such as chisels, saws, and drills. Finally, the carpenter joins the items together with nails, staples, or glue. In this, they use rulers or framing squares to get how accurate their work is.

Die cutting mainly used for embroidery applique, shoulder pads, cap, shoe & backpack items cutting to get high standard of accuracy but only appropriate to situations where large quantities of the same pattern will be cut. This appliance is very accurate for sharp corners and circular patterns but not suitable for larger parts cutting. But this process may increase production cost, cutting time and higher fabric wastage due to use of block pieces. Operator should be more careful to handle this device because a heavy metal bar creates 20 ton pressure during
