Engineering Drawing For Manufacture

The processes of manufacture and assembly are based on the communication of engineering information via drawing. These drawings follow rules laid down in national and international standards. The organisation responsible for the international rules is the International Standards Organisation (ISO). There are hundreds of ISO standards on engineering drawing because drawing is very complicated and accurate transfer of information must be guaranteed. The information contained in an engineering drawing is a legal specification, which contractor and sub-contractor agree to in a binding contract. The ISO standards are designed to be independent of any one language and thus much symbology is used to overcome any reliance on any language. Companies can only operate efficiently if they can guarantee the correct transmission of engineering design information for manufacturing and assembly. This book is a short introduction to the subject of engineering drawing for manufacture. It should be noted that standards are updated on a 5-year rolling programme and therefore students of engineering drawing need to be aware of the latest standards. This book is unique in that it introduces the subject of engineering drawing in the context of standards.

The Manual of Engineering Drawing has long been recognised as the student and practising engineer's guide to producing engineering drawings that comply with ISO and British Standards. The information in this book is equally applicable to any CAD application or manual drawing. The second edition is fully in line with the requirements of the new British Standard BS8888: 2002, and will help engineers, lecturers and students with the transition to the new standards. BS8888 is fully based on the relevant ISO standards, so this book is also ideal for an international readership. The comprehensive scope of this book encompasses topics including orthographic, isometric and oblique projections, electric and hydraulic diagrams, welding and adhesive symbols, and guidance on tolerancing. Written by a member of the ISO committee and a former college lecturer, the Manual of Engineering Drawing combines up-to-the-minute technical accuracy with clear, readable explanations and numerous diagrams. This approach makes this an ideal student text for vocational courses in engineering drawing and undergraduates studying engineering design / product design. Colin Simmons is a member of the BSI and ISO Draughting Committees and an Engineering Standards Consultant. He was formerly Standards Engineer at Lucas CAV. * Fully in line with the latest ISO Standards * A textbook and reference guide for students and engineers involved in design engineering and product design * Written by a former lecturer and a current member of the relevant standards committees

About the Book: Written by three distinguished authors with ample academic and teaching experience, this textbook, meant for diploma and degree students of Mechanical Engineering as well as those preparing for AMIE examination, incorporates the latest st

Most books on standardization describe the impact of ISO and related organizations on many industries. While this is great for managing an organization, it leaves engineers asking questions such aswhat are the effects of standards on my designs? andhow can I use standardization to benefit my work? Standards for Engineering Design and Manuf

This book provides the reader with a comprehensive knowledge of all the tools provided in the software SOLIDWORKS for a variety of engineering areas. It presents a broad choice of examples to be imitated in one’s own work. In developing these examples, the authors’ intent has been to exercise many program features and refinements. By displaying these, the authors hope to give readers the confidence to employ these program enhancements in their own modeling applications.

This concise reference helps readers avoid the most commonplace errors in generating or interpreting engineering drawings. Applicable across multiple disciplines, Hanifan’s lucid treatment of such essential skills as understanding and conveying data in a drawing, exacting precision in dimension and tolerance notations, and selecting the most-appropriate drawing type for a particular engineering situation, “Perfecting Engineering and Technical Drawing” is an valuable resource for practicing engineers, engineering technologists, and students. Provides straightforward explanation of the requirements for all common engineering drawing types Maximizes reader understanding of engineering drawing requirements, differentiating the types of drawings and their particular characteristics Elucidates electrical reference designation requirements, geometric dimensioning, and tolerancing errors Explains the entire engineering documentation process from concept to delivery

About the Book: In the quest to improve the quality of engineering education, it is not just enough to teach engineering principles and design procedures. An equal emphasis should be stressed to the manufacturing processes and in preparation of production drawings. Keeping this in mind, the contents of the book are planned and developed. A production drawing is an important document, as the entire production depends on the design of the component, which may include the selection of the process also. The production drawing is a guide not only to the artisan in the shop floor but also to the design engineer-in successful manufacture of a product. Realising the practical importance of production drawings, the subject is nowadays introduced as a full course at both diploma and degree level. The book is the first of its kind icorporating the latest principles of drawings as per BIS, SP-46: 1988. The topics covered include: Limits, fits and tolerances including geometrical tolerances Surface roughness Specification of materials and standard mechanical components Preparation of working drawings for (i) single components, (ii) mating components and (iii) assemblies Process sheets and component manufacture in typical cases Tool drawings Jigs and fixtures Inspection and gauging tool drawings Conventional representation

Salient Features: Provided simple step by step explanations to motivate self study of the subject. Free hand sketching techniques are provided. Worksheets for free hand practice are provided. A new chapter on Computer Aided Design and Drawing (CADD) is added.
