Explain any two process technologies for materials.
Discuss any three factors that will help to determine the type of production process used.
Distinguish between design capacity and effective capacity. Provide a brief example.
In a sheet metal forming press, the shape to be formed is hemispherical cup of radius 15 cm in 2mm thick mild
steel sheet. The force required to deform sheet is 8 kN. The forming hammer should approach job from a distance
of 30 cm. The production rate required is 240 components/hr.
Calculate and suggest the following specifications of the various hydraulic components used:
a. Hydraulic cylinder (bore & length);
b. Pump pressure and flow rate;
c. Electric motor HP considering 75% pump efficiency;
d. Reservoir size; and
e. Size of pump inlet and discharge tubing.
