Print Reading for Manufacturing <br />This workshop provides an introduction to reading and interpreting engineering prints and technical drawings <br />used for manufacturing. You will practice what you have learned through multiple realistic hands-on activities. <br />Objectives: <br />- Describe the basic structure and elements of a manufacturing print. <br />- Describe and identify the types of lines used on prints and the purpose of each. <br />- Describe and recognize the views typically included on prints. <br />- Explain how dimensions are indicated on prints. <br />- Explain the purpose and contents of assembly drawings. <br />- Recognize and identify symbols included on drawings, including screw threads, holes, surface finishes, and <br />welding symbols. <br />Topics covered: <br />- Why we communicate with drawings in manufacturing. <br />- Lines used on prints. <br />- Print sizes. <br />- Title block, including scale, tolerances, and revisions. <br />- Views and visualization. <br />- Section views and their types. <br />- Dimensioning, including placement, angular and circular, and dual dimensioning. <br />- Assembly drawings, including application blocks. <br />- Screw thread representations, including form and class. <br />- Machining specifications, including holes, edges, necks, and undercuts. <br />- Surface texture symbols and specifications. <br />Intended audience: All manufacturing personnel, including operators, technicians, and supervisors. <br />Measurement for Manufacturing <br />Taking measurements is a key task for many operators and technicians in manufacturing. In this workshop, <br />you'll learn why measurements are important in manufacturing and how to properly use rulers, calipers, <br />micrometers, gauge blocks, and other measurement instruments to take linear and angular measurements. <br />Objectives: <br />- Explain why measurements are performed in manufacturing. <br />- Describe the two measurement systems in use today. <br />- Explain the difference between a dimension and a tolerance. <br />- Demonstrate how to use a ruler, protractor, calipers, and micrometer to measure. <br />- Explain the purpose of gauge blocks. <br />- Explain the purpose and types of go/no-go gauges. <br />- Explain the purpose of a gauge R&R study. <br />- Explain the purpose and functionality of other common measurement tools used in manufacturing, including <br />dial indicators, height gauges, scales, and coordinate measurement machines. <br />- Explain the purpose of validation and calibration of measurement tools. <br />Intended audience: <br />- Quality control/assurance technicians and inspectors; other manufacturing personnel whose jobs require use <br />of measurement tools and are new to manufacturing. <br />Purdue MEP Center mep.purdue.edu 800-877-5182 Project#23747 Page 11 <br />
