TND 101 - JIG & FIXTURE DESIGN
4 credit hours; 3 class hours; 2 lab hours
The process of designing and developing the tools, methods, and technique necessary to improve manufacturing efficiency and productivity. Tool design is an ever-changing, growing process of creative problem solving which addresses quality and economy to produce a competitive product to solve manufacturing situations.
Builds on the basic machining skills learned in MEC111. Special attention will be given to quality applications such as GDT. Students will also learn basic grinding skills for various surface grinder applications. Carbide tooling will be introduced and projects will be more complex requiring some assembly.
Gives a brief review of CNC mill and lathe programming. It will also cover Computer Aided Manufacturing with applications software so students can create tool path generation. Students will follow accepted standard operating procedure and safety considerations for machine operators.
Designed to give the student knowledge in press operations. It covers principles of construction, selection, replacement or rebuilding, costs, noise, and repair. Attention will also be given to advances in technology and current events in the industry.
Quarters Available: Day - Sp; Evening – Sp.
Prerequisite(s): MEC111 (minimum grade of C- required).
Covers fundamentals and real world practices of metal stamping die design. Material is introduced through calculations and engineering drawings. Area manufacturers host field trips so students can view operations of presses and various types of dies. Class project includes design and fabrication of simple coining die used with a small hand press.
Quarters Available: Day - F; Evening – F.
Prerequisite(s): MEC111 (minimum grade of C- required), and TND101 (minimum grade of C- required).
Presents a specific topic in Tool & Die Technology that is normally not covered in the current Tool & Die Technology. Credit hours (1-6) and topics will be pre-approved by the academic administration.
Brings together the course work and learning experiences from the Tool and Die Technology program. Students will individually select and develop a tool and die design project to be completed following the procedures presented.
