Synopsis

Excerpt from Tool Engineering

The aim and purpose Of this book is to furnish information with respect to the science Of tool engineering. Nothing has previously been published on the subject except in short articles dealing with specific examples Of jigs and fixtures. Information of value regarding principles of design in connection with produc tion tools is sadly lacking and mechanical literature contains only spasmodic efforts to remedy the deficiency. In order to cover the subject properly three volumes were planned, each Of these being complete in itself. This volume, which is the first, deals with the design of jigs and fixtures. It covers the important points connected with the design, shows the reasons why certain methods are better than others, takes up principles and their application to design and gives many graphic examples which illustrate the use Of the principles involved. An endeavor has been made to simplify the subject matter as far as possible and to treat it in a practical common sense manner which can be easily understood by the designer. A careful study Of the illustrations and descriptive matter will enable a progressive man to understand both the theory and practice necessary for this line of work. The second volume takes up turret lathe and vertical boring mill tooling together with grinding fixtures. The third volume deals with punches, dies and gages. For a number Of years the machines and tools used for pro duction have been undergoing a process Of evolution and although the development work has progressed rapidly, much still remains to be done. Present manufacturing methods are Of the highest order and tooling for high production is Of interest to all the mechanical fraternity. There are however, comparatively few men in this country who really know the science in all its funda mentals and for this reason the tooling in many factories is probably not over 50% efficient.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
