Study Notes
Reduction of Idle Time
- Enable easy clamping and unloading to minimize idle time
Cleanliness of Machining Process
- Design should minimize time wasted in cleaning scarfs, burrs, chips, etc.
Replaceable Parts and Standardization
- Locating and supporting surfaces should be replaceable and standardized for interchangeable manufacture
Provision for Coolant
- Design should allow for cooling of the tool and washing away of swarfs and chips
Hardened Surfaces
- Locating and supporting surfaces should be hardened materials to prevent wear and retain accuracy
Inserts and Pads
- Inserts and pads should be riveted to clamps to prevent damage to finished workpiece surfaces
Fool-Proofing
- Incorporate pins and devices to prevent incorrect placement of components or fitting of cutting tools
Economic Soundness
- Equipment design and manufacture should be economically viable, proportional to production quantity and price
Easy Manipulation
- Equipment should be lightweight and easy to handle to prevent worker fatigue and provided with adequate lift aids
Initial Location
- Ensure workpiece is located on no more than 3 points in a plane to prevent rocking and spring loading
Position of Clamps
- Clamping should occur directly above points supporting the workpiece to prevent distortion and springing
