Date : 14 September, 2022   Time : 1340 Hrs to 1700 Hrs   Location / Mode : Online

INTRODUCTION

Hydroforming processes have become popular in recent years, due to the increasing demands for lightweight parts in various fields, such as bicycle, automotive, aircraft, and aerospace industries. Tube Hydroforming is being used for a variety of applications cutting across sectors, for realizing complex tubular shapes/sections which may not be economically and elegantly possible through conventional technologies. It offers the possibility of reduction of welded joints and also light-weighting potential owing to the inherent benefits of using box sections for structural members. Sheet Hydroforming can produce intricate features which are not possible through the stamping route. Superplastic Forming has interesting applications in the automotive and aerospace sectors. Hence there are extensive possibilities for component development using these techniques.

This course provides an overall exposure to the technology of Industrial Automation and Controls as widely seen in factories of all types both for discrete and continuous manufacturing. The course also discusses a wide range of Industrial Automation topics like the architecture of automation systems, measurement systems including sensors and signal conditioning, discrete and continuous variable control systems, pneumatic and electric actuators, and industrial communication. Also, this program will give an overview to handle an industrial automation project through virtual practice.
