Bill of Materials(BOM):A bill of materials (BOM) is a centralized source of information containing a list of items used to manufacture a product and the instructions on how to do so. Often shown in a hierarchical way, a bill of materials (BOM) lists the finished product at the top, down to individual components…

Aim: To create 2D detailing for all the Pin and clamp units. Conclusion: Hence 2D detailing is done for all the pin and clamp units.

Aim: To prepare a key sheet and 2D detail Base unit and Pin unit. Keysheet: Key sheet is an index of units and their placements on a tool base.It shows placement and location of that particular unit on the tool base where exactly to be positioned.It has a standard template to be used as per the company standards.It shows…

Week 7: BASE UNIT Objective: To design a base unit with all weldments for the given car panel and design all the necessary units required for the fixture design. Base unit:  A unit used to mount all the units over it like a clamp, pin likewise. Also it will rest subpart of the main unit like the pneumatic valve box…

                                                                 WEEK 6 : CLAMP UNIT AND PIN UNIT DESIGN Objective: To design 3 swivel type clamp units and one pin-clamp unit with different clamp arm, blade, riser while maintaining the stroke of the cylinder as 100mm. Fundamentals:  3-2-1 Principle: Our ultimate intention…

                          WEEK 4: PIN UNIT DESIGN Objective: Design two different types of fixed pin units with different pins, pin retainers, blocks, blades, risers. Design two different types…

1) What is BIW and define its parts? BIW- The expansion of the abbrevation BIW is Body in White. The outer skeleton of the car body which is not yet painted is called body in white. The sheetmetal body after joining together by different joining processes is dipped in primer which is grey in colour. Because of this colour…

  What are the drawing templates?   Drawing templates are the files of frames and title blocks which convey the design information that are used to generate 2D drawing from the 3D part. Neat and detailed drawing templates convey more information from designer to manufacturer. So we can avoid misunderstanding…

  What do you understand about the 3D finish process?   3D finish process is the process in which finishing of a fixture is done means making the fixture ready for final 2D detailing and simulation. Steps followed while doing 3D finish: Holes concentricity and hole sizes should be ensured. Gaps or clearance is maintained…

  What is a base unit? What are the typical parts of a base unit?   A base unit is the unit designed to mount all the other units(clamp unit, pin unit, rest unit etc) of the tool, also other parts necessary for a tool like pneumatic valve bax, trunking cable path will also be mounted onto a base unit.  Below…

  What is design methodology?                                          Design methodology is nothing but steps followed during the concept of designing stages of fixture design. The conceptualisation of the design…

  1.    What is the process of project execution activity?         RFQ: The full form of this abbreviation is Request for quotation. This is the first and foremost step in which the customer quotes his requirements, specifications, technical offer, commercial offer, expected timeline…
