Introduction to Tool

Design
TECH 4571

Lecture Video
Objectives
● Reduce overall cost to manufacture a
product
● Increase production rate
● Maintain/improve quality
● Reduce cost of tooling (cost effective)
○ Remember: Cheap tools might not reduce cost
● Design safe and easy to use tools
Prerequisites:
Areas of Knowledge CAD, Statics, Strengths of Materials &
Manufacturing Processes

● Cutting tools, tool holders, cutting fluids


● Machine tools
● Jigs and fixtures
● Gages and measuring instruments
● Dies for sheet-metal cutting and forming
● Dies for forging, upsetting, cold finishing, and extrusion
● Molds for plastics manufacturing
● Fixtures and accessories for welding, riveting, and
mechanical fastening
The Design Process
● Statement of the problem
○ Scope (what can you change?)
○ Assumptions
● Analysis of requirements (constraints [tolerance, environment])
● Development of initial ideas - Informed Creativity
● Evaluate design alternatives
● Development & Finalization of design ideas
○ Iteration & finalization
● Implement
● Evaluate
Requirements
● Functions
● Precision
● Environment
● Costs
● Lead time
● Safety
● Adaptability, compatibility, standardization
● Working life
Economics of Design
● Remember to think lean
● Combined operations
● Process cost comparisons
○ Break even point (1-1)
○ Total unit cost for a particular method (1-2a)
○ Break even point, W&S method (1-3)
○ ELS (1-4)

Tooling Drawings
Tooling Drawings
Tooling Drawings
● Do not crowd views
● Analyze each cut
● Use standard values
● Use only the views necessary to define the part
● Realistic, thoughtful tolerances
● Shaft easier to change than hole
● Use stock sizes if possible
● Notes may be necessary
Tooling Layout
● Lay out the part (separate by layer)
● Lay out cutting tools and holders
● Indicate locating requirements
● 3-2-1 locating planes
● Indicate clamping requirements
● Use full scale if possible
● Indicate standard fixture parts
● Identify each item with balloons and leaders
Tolerances
Is this part exactly
One half inch in
diameter?
Tooling Precision
NX Progressive Die Wizard
NX Injection Mold Wizard
Safety
● Design out hazards if possible
● Always break sharp edges
● Rigidity
● Fool proofing (poka-yoke)
● Make drill jigs large enough to hold without spinning
● Use guards if possible
● Punch Presses
● Limit Switches, Shear Pins
● Feed Mechanisms
● Electrical Equipment
● Lockout provisions
● Other Provisions
