By: Venkataraman, K. (Mechanical engineer) [author].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Cham Switerzland : Springer, [2022]Copyright date: ©2022 Edition: Second edition.Description: xiv, 1 volume (various pagings) : illustrations (black and white) ; 25 cm.Content type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9783030765354 (paperback); 3030765350 (paperback).Subject(s): Jigs and fixtures -- Design and construction | Power presses -- Design and construction | Industrial engineeringDDC classification: 621.992
Contents:
Introduction to jigs and fixtures -- Design of locators -- Design of clamps -- Drilling jigs -- Design of milling fixtures -- Other types of fixtures -- Press tools -- Introduction to presses and auxiliary equipment -- Sheet metal forming processes -- Introduction to press tools -- Introduction to the design of blanking, piercing, progressive and compound dies -- Bending, drawing and forming dies -- Worked examples for jigs and fixtures -- Appendix A: Metal cutting tools -- Appendix B: Fits and tolerances -- Appendix C: Jigs and fixtures: Suggested questions and answers -- Design exercises for press tools -- Appendix D: Properties of materials -- Appendix E: Drawing speeds and lubricants -- Appendix F: Press tools - suggested.
Subject: This textbook is aimed at providing the introductory knowledge on the subject to the undergraduate students studying mechanical and manufacturing engineering at most universities. Many of the universities prescribe a syllabus that contains both Design of Jigs and Fixtures, and Design of Press Tools in a single semester course. Keeping the above in mind, this book is designed in two parts. Part-I deals with Jigs and Fixtures and Part-II is earmarked exclusively for the study of Press Tools. Both these subjects are built progressively in successive chapters. A separate appendix, in each part, provides short answer questions with answers, which will help the students in clarifying doubts and strengthen their knowledge base. The explanatory notes and illustrations provided in the book will serve the purpose of awakening the interest of the students. End of chapter questions and answers aid to the learning process of students. This textbook will be extremely useful for the students and practicing engineers studying mechanical, manufacturing, and production engineering.
