Calibration of Dimensional Measuring instruments and Evaluation of Measurement uncertainties

15 to 16 April, 2021,

In any manufacturing activity, obtaining credible, dependable, correct and traceable measurements is one of the basic requirements in order to achieve required levels of product quality. No measurement is exact and every measurement is subject to some uncertainty. 'Uncertainty of measurement' is the doubt that exists about the result of any measurement. A measured value is only complete if it is accompanied by a statement of associated uncertainty. Measurement uncertainties can occur from the measuring instrument, from the part/component being measured, from environment, from the operator, and/or from other sources. Use of good practices such as reliable calibration equipment, traceable refe

Metallurgy for Non Metallurgists - Ferrous Materials

17 to 18 June, 2021,

Metallurgy is a branch of material science that focus on the physical and chemical behaviour of metallic elements and its alloys. Knowledge of metallurgy is very important for any design and production engineers. Design of any part generally based on Strength, which comes from alloy composition and metallurgical structure. It is not just enough if design engineer select right alloy but also have to specify metallurgical requirements to achieve required properties. Production engineers have to understand the metallurgical requirements and develop process to achieve that. Hence awareness of metallurgy play an important role in today’s engineering world.Keeping this in view, Indian Machin

Fundamentals of Injection Mould Design

21 to 25 June, 2021,

Plastic parts are integral to various types of products these days in every perceivable sector. Demand for lighter and robust products has pushed the need for usage of plastics wherever possible. Depending on the plastics material to be used and its field usage, it is important to choose the right moulding process for manufacturing the part in the most efficient and cost effective method. Out of the various moulding techniques, Injection Moulding is the most widely used for large scale production of high quality plastic parts. Therefore, Injection Mould Design assumes great importance in realizing defect-free parts using various plastic materials in required volumes. Having a defect free mo

Gear Manufacturing - Hobbing and Shaping Processes

28 to 29 June, 2021,

The Automotive, Agricultural, Defence and Railway industry is undergoing continuous change due to increased customer demand as well as improvement in production norms. Gears and Gear drives are an important component of all kinds of vehicles, machine tools, aircrafts, household appliances as well as a broad variety of industrial equipment, which play key role in transmission of power. Gear manufacturing is a complex activity, involving multiple manufacturing processes. Hence a good understanding about the various gears manufacturing processes and controlling of the parameters is essential, in order to meet the growing demands for better productivity and quality of gears. Keeping this in vie

ASME Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) in Design through Manufacturing- ( for GDTP Technologist Level)

28 to 30 June, 2021,

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) system eliminates ambiguities in engineering drawings and brings out the designer's intent very clearly. It ensures seamless communication between design, engineering, manufacturing and quality teams across the entire organization enabling them working in a concurrent engineering environment. In the competitive industrial scenario prevailing today, proper application of GD&T system helps the companies to reduce the manufacturing and inspection costs. BUILD YOUR GD&T EXPERTISE DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE ! DO YOU KNOW? THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS (ASME) IS THE MOST RESPECTED PROVIDER OF GD&T TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

TRIZ: Shortcut to Innovative Solutions

30 June, 2021,

In industrial world all efforts for Innovation and Problem Solving get severely limited by quality, spread, reach and effectiveness of “Brainstorming”. In extreme cases either Brainstorming sessions may remain inconclusive and lead nowhere OR they may get short closed echoing the precast ideas of leader OR they throw up random ideas which often may not be workable. TRIZ is a technique which leads to focused ideation so that the brainstorming group gets guided towards solutions which have had better hit rate in comparable situations elsewhere, based on historical empirical data. In order to create awareness so that TRIZ methodology could be put into organization DNA rather than h
