Punch Manufacturing Project

 

TASKs:

 

a)  Choose the item which your group is to manufacture and investigate its design in terms of its geometry, features and requirements. Things to be considered     and investigated for different types of punches (Pin Punch, Centre Punch, Nail  punch, Drift Punch, Nail Punch etc)

 

i) Their purpose ?

ii) How they are used?

iii) What properties would be required?

iv) What possible material would they be made from?

 

b)  Pick one of the items and make a simple design of the tool by producing a
computer model (using SolidWorks) and, from this, a Detail Drawing of the tool containing all the necessary dimensions and other detail for manufacture. (The piece  of material you will be making the tool out of is Ø12mm x 90mm long).

 

c)  Produce a Production Plan for the manufacture of the item including all the
processes that the item will go through prior to finishing and including machining and heat-treatment processes and operations.

 

d)  Perform the operations and produce the final item.

 

e)  Test the item. Does it do what it is supposed to do without failure?

f)   Write a brief report on the whole process and procedure and store it within your
Applications Project portfolio in Moodle. Reflect on the work that has been done.

g)  A hardcopy of Report should be submitted for the final assessment.
