PREFACE

Internship is one of the keys for understanding more deeply the concepts learned from
formal education by going through practical practices adapting industries. And this
rationale brought us to Atlas Honda.

During our internship we have learned a lot about production of bikes and also learned
about robotic arm and design an arm to increase production. Every topic from crust to
core was explained to us and this report is an over view of what I learned. Information
in this report is gathered from different sources like instruction manual. Project
proposals. Online websites and notes provided by instructors.

This document gives reader insight of design techniques for robotic arm, which is
hydraulically powered. It also define a unique way of design a robotic arm by using
simple mechanisms. Interactive visuals provide an ease to reader for understanding
design of arm and don’t let reader to get bored as traditional text does.

I have tried my best to eliminate all mistakes and misrepresentation of facts but since
its natural for humans to make mistakes, so I ask your pardon for any such mistakes.
ABSTRACT

4. PROJECT AREA OF TRAINING

4.0. Complete Project Report on Design of Hydraulic Robotic Arm

4.1. Introduction
Hydraulic Robotic Arm is a system which coupled by machines and hydraulic. It is
widely applicable in all kinds of large engineering equipment’s. Such as arm frame of
crane. The arm system of the redundant freedom, strong, nonlinear, coupled with rigid
and flexible characters. In hydraulic robotic arm the dynamic differential equation is
built with the driving force of the hydraulic cylinder as the main force.

By using the PD controlled theory without de coupling and rank decreasing only with
feedback from control of the arm and position pose and movement the relationship
between the hydraulic system and the end positions & pose is studied. The simultaneous
result prove the movement equation built by this way can clearly describe each dynamic
character of the mechanical arms.

A hydraulic drive system is a drive or transmission system that uses pressurized


hydraulic fluid to power hydraulic machinery. The term hydrostatic refers to the transfer
of energy from flow and pressure, not from the kinetic energy of the flow.

A hydraulic drive system consists of three parts: The generator (e.g. a hydraulic pump),
driven by an electric motor, a combustion engine; valves, filters, piping etc. (to guide
and control the system); and the actuator (e.g. a hydraulic motor or hydraulic cylinder)
to drive the machinery.

4.1.1. Introduction about Mechanism


A robotic arm which is hydraulically operated and controlled filled with some fluid. It
is consists of various parts connected to each other in a pre-designed manner which are
guided in a constrained way to obtain required output.
4.1.2. Application
These arms are used in assembly lines of mega factories to assemble various parts of a
product and also to paint vehicles. They are also used in earth movers to pick up heavy
weight and keep them where required. Same principle is being used in JCB’s,
automobile lifters, etc.

4.1.3. Parts
In the mechanism, each part has been provided with certain degree of freedom to move
in a constrained way to guide other parts and also to pick up small weight items and to
place them wherever required. The complete mechanism consists of a vertical link. Its
one end is connected or better to say hinged, another horizontal link which is free to
reciprocate about a certain point in an up-down way of motion. To this link is connected
a sliding/ railing mechanism.

4.1.4. Hydraulic actuation


All the movements above are controlled hydraulically by hydraulic jacks attached to
each one.
The hydraulic supply acts like the arm’s heart and muscles. It provides the energy for
pushing, pulling, and lifting.

Mechanism of hydraulic jack


4.1.5. Principle of a Hydraulic Robotic Arm
Pascal's law is the basis of hydraulic drive systems. As the pressure in the system is the
same, the force that the fluid gives to the surroundings is therefore equal to pressure ×
area. In such a way, a small piston feels a small force and a large piston feels a large
force. The same principle applies for a hydraulic pump with a small swept volume that
asks for a small torque, combined with a hydraulic motor with a large swept volume
that gives a large torque. In such a way a transmission with a certain ratio can be built.
Most hydraulic drive systems make use of hydraulic cylinders. Here the same principle
is used a small torque can be transmitted into a large force. By throttling the fluid
between the generator part and the motor part, or by using hydraulic pumps and/or
motors with adjustable swept volume, the ratio of the transmission can be changed
easily. In case throttling is used, the efficiency of the transmission is limited. In case
adjustable pumps and motors are used, the efficiency, however, is very large. In fact,
up to around 1980, a hydraulic drive system had hardly any competition from other
adjustable drive systems.
Nowadays, electric drive systems using electric servo-motors can be controlled in an
excellent way and can easily compete with rotating hydraulic drive systems. Hydraulic
cylinders are, in fact, without competition for linear forces. For these cylinders,
hydraulic systems will remain of interest and if such a system is available, it is easy and
logical to use this system for the rotating drives of the cooling systems, also. An
important advantage of a hydraulic drive is its high power density: the mass of a
hydraulic drive is several times smaller than the mass of an electric drive of the same
power.

4.2. Classification of Robotic Arm

4.2.1. Introduction
In that work, it has been explained the classifications of the robotic arms which have
used hard, dangerous and high level sensitive works, according to unrestraint levels,
power supply which is used by the joint accelerators, control methods, sharpness grades
and codification with double letters. According to those classifications, it has been
explained the specifications of the robotic arms, usage fields, working spaces,
advantages and handicaps against each other.

4.2.2. Exposition
Robot has a meaning of slave or working in Czech and Slovak languages. Robotic
means the science of robot and it’s named firstly by Issac ASIMOV.
Robots are very functional manipulators which are projected for moving some
materials, hand tools or special equipment’s by giving then a series of preplanned
duties. Need of industrial robotand their use is increasing by computer supported
conception and parallely computer supported production.

Most important feature that separates the robot from the other machines is; robots can
be programmed several times and they have control system that provides to do more
complex processes nearby mechanic systems. In a word, robot is an industrial
manipulator controlled by computer. Robot science is a branch of instruction that
contains several engineering as electric and electronic engineer, mechanical engineer,
computer engineer and math engineer. In examples; mechanical engineering is curious
about robots dynamical and statically constitution, computer engineering is interested
in software part of robots and electric engineering is concerned with perceptional
concept of robots.

All the robots have a working space as to their organs and joints. That working space
is the open place where robot’s extremity functionary can move freely. By the help of
robot manipulator’s joint changes extremity functionary’s position according to main
shaft and find of inclination is forward kinematics; bye the position and inclination
knowledge of extremity functionary, found of joint changes of robot manipulator is
reverse kinematics. Kinematics is interested in act of objects. Robot’s strength sped and
acceleration analysis can be made by robot kinematics.

A robot is composed of prismatic (sliding) or revolving kind of joints which can move
freely by themselves and organs which combine the joints each other, revolving joint,
(Fig. 1.) allows revolving between two organs. Prismatic joint, (Fig. 2.) allows linear
movement joint angle is re-movement that consists of revolving in revolving joint.

Joints slip is re-movement that consists of linear movement between organs in prismatic
joint.

Joint angle is the joint changeability in revolving joints, joint slip is the joint
changeability in prismatic joints.
Fig. (1) Revolving joint Fig (2) Prismatic joint

Manipulators are accepted as open-tipped kinematics chain of bounded rigid things.


While one tip of the chain is bound to main environment, the other tip is bound to tip
functionary. Consequently, action of manipulator is ever all of movements of each
organs according to the others. Expressions which constitute this kinematics chain
consist of homogeny transformation matrix that includes the location and inclination of
robot for determining the manipulator movement, it is necessary to determine the
inclination and location of rigid thing in space.

Inclination of rigid thing in Cartesian space, transformation matrix and the location of
rigid thing are founded by locating vector. Six lack of restriction degree is enough for
reaching at any point in three dimension space. Redundancy becomes at robots whose
lack of restriction degree is more than six. Redundance can be defined as the place
which is hatched by two different joints at the sometime.

4.2.3. Classification of robots


Robots are principally classified in two groups as serial and parallel robots. Serial
robots are formed from a row of joints and organs which combine these joints each
other. (Fig.) Serial robots have an extensive working space and a few amounts of
mechanical parts. Parallel robots come together more parallel organs between main
frame and last functionary. (Fig.) When these two robots are compared with their rate
of carriable mass to mechanic constitution mass jobs and parallel robots are used for
big mass jobs.

Fig. Serial robot Fig. Parallel robot


Robots can be classified in five different classes according to their lack of restriction
rate, source of power used for revolving joints, control methods, sharpness degree and
two letter code.

4.2.4. Robots according to lack of restriction rate


Robots which are used industry are generally these six lack restriction rate robots.
While classifying the robots according their lack of restriction rate, it’s looked for the
functions of first three organs.

For example;
If first there organs have a prismatic joint, this robot is Cartesian robot. (Prismatic
Prismatic Prismatic – PPP)

If the first organ has a revolving joint but the second and third have prismatic joint, this
robot cylindrical robot. (Revolute Prismatic Prismatic – RPP)

If the first two organs have revolving, third organ has a prismatic joint and all joints are
parallel to each other; this kind of robot is Scara robot. (Revolute Revolute Prismatic –
RRP)

If the first two organs have revolving joint and the third organ has a prismatic joint this
robot is spherical robot. Also if first three organs have revolving joint, this robot is
revolving robot.

4.2.5. Cartesian robot


The robot which is projected as being prismatic joint of first three joints is Cartesian
manipulator. That kind of robot has the least kinematics order. Although their
mechanical constitution is well-made (strong) their activity skills in working space are
quite Lowe Cartesian kind of manipulators are mostly used for carrying the things from
somewhere to somewhere that have a high capacity and weight.
Fig. Cartesian robot and working area
4.2.6. Cylindrical robot
A kind of manipulator which is constituted from joints that first joint is revolving, the
second and third joints are prismatic kinds. Although their mechanical constitution is
well-made, theirwrist location line changes according to horizontal action. So as
Cartesian robots, they are used for carrying the things that have high capacity and
weight. Hydraulic cylinder is usually used as movement at prismatic joint.

Fig. Cylindrical robot and working area


4.2.7. Spherical robot
In spherical manipulator, first two joints are formed by revolving joints and the third
joint is formed by prismatic joint. Although their mechanical constitution is not well-
done than Cartesian robot, their activity skills in working space are rather high.

Fig. 8 Spherical robot and working area


Revolving robot
Manipulator whose first three joints have revolving joints is revolving manipulator.
These robots have the highest activity skills in working space. It is the most skillful
manipulator. In Project of the manipulator human arm was referenced.

are very plaint and fast. Due to their complex kinematic equation,
their control is difficult.
4.2.9. Robots as their controlling methods
Robots are classified in two groups as their controlling.

4.2.9.1. Robots controlled from a point


There isn’t a determined working area for these kinds of robots. Lack of restriction
degree is smaller than six and they usually used for carrying a thing from somewhere
to somewhere. Robot is used by an operator.

4.2.9.2. Continual trajectory controlled robots


These kinds of robots are controlled as following a pre-determined trajectory. Robot is
programmed by operator before start using. During the run of robot, operator doesn’t
interfere it this kind of robots periodically repeats the programmed action.

4.2.10. According to the power source that is used by robot movements


Because the robots ought to do job which is given, it is important to stir up the joints in
an appropriate order. Joint activity in these robots is achieved by electric motors,
pneumatic cylinder and hydraulic cylinders.

4.2.10.1. Stirring up with electric motor


Special envisagement electric motors are used for stirring up the joints of this kind of
robots. Because of the circular action of engine shaft, it’s usually used for activity of
revolving joints. So, Dc servo type motors whose revolving angle can be decreased
under 1°, are used for his arm. Dc servo type motors that they have redactor provide
high torque with low voltage. It is easy to control.

4.2.10.2. Stirring up with hydraulic cylinder


This kind of robots joints are stirred with hydraulic cylinder. It is usually used to
activate the prismatic joints because of the constitution of cylinder. They are used at
hard Works in industry that they provide a high torque with low energy.

Because their performance is not linear, their control is more difficult than electric
engines.
4.2.10.3. Stirring up with pneumatic cylinder
These kinds of robots are alike to hydraulic cylindrical robots, but their control is
difficult. Because, air is used in pneumatic cylinder and air presume is not enough to
provide the flux of cylinder but their constitution is simple. As hydraulic cylinder
robots, these kinds of robots are used for activity of joints.

4.2.11. Robots according to their sharpness degree


It is separated into three groups as straightness, replacement, and resolution.

4.2.11.1. Resolution
It is known that robots are controlled by control system. It is the arability of changing
for the signals that is sent to control system.

For example; a robot whose joints are placed by servo motor has a high. While a robot
whose joints are placed by hydraulic cylinder has a low.

4.2.11.2. Straightness (Accuracy)


There is a software which was prepared for the control for robots by their control
systems. We can control the robot by programmer it with this software of the program
of tip functionary
.
4.2.11.3. Replacement (Interconvertibility)
Replacement is a special feature of robot that robots tip functionary comes to the same
point after doing the jobs.

4.2.12. Classification made by two letters coding


Huang and Milenkovic have improved a code formed from two letters for describe the
robot types. According to that, first letter explains the property of first joint and the
revolving comparing the second one. The second letter explains the third joint and the
relation between second and third joints.

Used letters and symbols


S: slipping, slide (Fig. A)
C: upright turning at slipping axis (Fig. B)
N: upright turning at turning axis (Fig. C)
R: upright turning to slipping axis or parallel to turning axis (Fig. D)

Fig. Symbols used at two-letter coding

Huang and Milenkovic have used sixteen unit of two-letter combination for robot
organs. All these compositions are useful and they aren’t different. A useful organ must
have an extensive sized activity skill in three dimension space; difference is that each
organ is different from the other categories.

Fig. Symbolic figures which identifies the robots at two-letter

Huang and Milenkovic haven’t found useful the codes; CN, NC, RS and SR. RS and
SR robots are usually used in industry although they don’t find useful and different.
The reason that these two robots don’t find useful and different is because they rake the
same area with CS robot.
4.2.13. Imitation
Imitation or simulation is an animation of physical activity by the help of programs
which are necessary at computer atmosphere before acting a physical activity. Robot
programs are tested with imitation programs before testing on true robots. There are
advantages of testing the programs. If robot programs are loaded to robot before testing
by the help of imitation, robot can damage itself or environment. For this reason, testing
robot programs (after software) provides time and Money. A good robot imitation
program could modelise the position of organs, inclinations and environment.

4.2.13.1. Classification of robot imitation programs


It is separated in two class as online or offline.

Online programming
Online programming is realized when the robot is at production position. It is used to
reach the tip functionary of robot at determined point.

Offline programming
Programming is done before producing the robot in offline programming and robot is
produced after programming. This type of robots are wed at repeating process. If we
want to do other action with the robot, first we delete the old program and it is
programmed again.

4.3. Conceptual Design & Methodology

4.3.1. Concept
The basic concept used behind the operation is PASCAL’s LAW. This law states that
when a pressure is applied at one point of a fluid contained in a constrained volume,
then the pressure due to that force is equally transmitted to all the points of the fluid,
which are acted upon by the same pressure. Using the same principle, we applied
pressure to fluid in piston cylinder which is transmitted to other end of tube which is
connected to a cylinder. This motion of the piston is used to move the links or parts of
the mechanism which are attached to respective end of piston.
4.3.2. Conceptual Design
1.) The sliding mechanism used in the design, maintain its simplicity but at the
same time increases its efficiency, ability, area of coverage.
2.) Linear bearing and two hydraulic jack’s mechanism used to provide linear
motion. It works smoothly without any jerks or shocks and giving more smooth
work.
3.) A motor with timing belt used to get rotational motion. We use timing belt
because it has low percentage of slip and it also gives maximum output.
4.) Hydraulic oil having least compressibility and high efficiency is used as a fluid
in cylinders of jack.
4.3.3. Methodology
All the dimensions of the parts including their weights, their required job, are decided
effectively to obtain overall dimensions of the mechanism and allow required degree of
freedom and to obtain required motion and do the required task.

The square tube use as basic component in cylindrical robotic arm and it is available in
prescribe dimensions.

Mild Steel Square Tube


4.4.1.2. Ball bearings
A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the
separation between the bearing races.

The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial
loads. It achieves this by using at least three races to contain the balls and transmit the
loads through the balls. In most applications, one race is stationary and the other is
attached to the rotating assembly (e.g., a hub or shaft). As one of the bearing races
rotates it causes the balls to rotate as well. Because the balls are rolling they have a
much lower coefficient of friction than if two flat surfaces were sliding against each
other.

Ball Bearing
4.4.1.3. Shaft
Shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation, usually used to
connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because
of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.

Shaft
4.4.1.4. Hydraulic Cylinder
A hydraulic cylinder (also called a linear hydraulic motor) is a mechanical actuator that
is used to give a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. It has many
applications, notably in construction equipment (engineering vehicles), manufacturing
machinery, and civil engineering
Hydraulic Cylinder
4.4.1.5. Motor
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into
mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the
motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the
form of rotation of a shaft. Electric motors can be powered by direct current (DC)
sources, such as from batteries, motor vehicles or rectifiers, or by alternating current
(AC) sources, such as a power grid, inverters or electrical generators. An electric
generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates in the reverse
direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Motor
4.4.1.6. Linear Bearing & Slides
A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in
one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings. Motorized
linear slides such as machine slides, XY tables, roller tables and some dovetail slides
are bearings moved by drive mechanisms. Slides use for sliding purposes.
Linear Bearing with Slides
4.4.1.7. Timing Belt Pulley
Pulleys are applied in a number of ways such as using forces, lifting loads and
transmitting the power.
 In nautical cases, the assembly of axle, wheel and supporting shell is termed as
a block.
 The drive component of a pulley system may in terms of cable, belt, rope or
chain that flows over the pulley inside the groove.

Timing Pulley and Timing Belt


4.4.1.8. Magnet
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an
electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current
through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting
the center of the coil.

6. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT/ TOOLS AND
TECHNIQUES
6.1. Aluminum Alloy/High pressure Die Casting Machine

Aluminum Alloy Die Casting Machine

6.1.1. What is high pressure die casting (HPDC)?


In a high pressure die casting process, molten metal or metal alloy is injected at high
speed and high pressure into the mould.

High pressure die casting

Horizontal high pressure die casting machines ensure the die closes completely. These
are rated by how much closing force they can apply. That can range from 550 to 5600
tonnes.

Depending on the metal being used, the injection unit that fills the mould can either be
hot chamber or cold chamber.

In hot chamber die casting, the metal is held within the die casting machine itself, then
drawn into the chamber and forced into the mould by the injection piston. These parts
of the machine are in constant contact with the molten metal.
In cold chamber process the metal is first melted in a separate furnace and transferred
to a holding furnace, then poured into a shot sleeve and injected into the mould.

6.1.2. Advantages of the high pressure die casting process


High pressure die casting technology can produce very large light alloy parts, in high
volumes and great speeds.

These machines deliver light alloy parts with high precision, superior surface finish,
excellent uniformity and optimum mechanical properties.

The high pressure die casting process can also produce components with thin walls and
"co-cast” parts with different types of inserts, such as screws and liners that then
become an integral part of the product itself.

6.1.3. Application
Cold chamber high pressure die casting technology is ideal for production of a diverse
range of aluminium and magnesium automotive castings such as engine blocks,
gearbox casings, oil sumps, engine mounts and structural parts like cross-car beams.

It is widely used in other sectors to manufacture components in applications that range


from the simplest – a lighting component – to the most demanding, such as aerospace
engine parts.

6.2. Low Pressure Die Casting Machine

Low pressure Die Casting Machine


6.2.1. What is low pressure die casting (LPDC)?
In low pressure die casting, the die is filled with metal from a pressurized furnace, with
pressures typically around 0.7 bar.

The holding furnace is positioned in the lower part of the vertical die casting machine,
with the molten metal injected upwards directly into the bottom of the mould.

The pressure holds the metal in the die until it solidifies.

6.2.2. Advantages of the low pressure die casting process


One of the main advantages of this process is the precise control of die cavity filling.

Molten metal flows quickly and smoothly through the feeding conduits, reducing oxide
formation and preventing porosity.

6.2.3. Application
This process was created for the production of axially symmetrical parts such as car
wheels.

However, by employing sand cores within the die, it is also well suited to producing
parts with hollow sections and complex geometries.
6.3. Gravity die casting machine

Gravity die casting machine

6.3.1. What is gravity die casting (GDC)?


Gravity die casting was one of the very earliest processes to be invented for metal and
light alloy die casting. In this process which can be fully automated, the molten metal
is poured directly from a ladle into a semi-permanent or permanent die.

The goal is to fill the die with minimum turbulence through one or more channels to
reduce oxidation and foaming. This minimizes porosity and inclusions, giving
optimum metal characteristics in the final casting.

Gravity die casting equipment can have a vertical or horizontal mould opening, or
tilting technology with 0/90 ° or 0/120 ° tilting provides an alternative. With tilting
die-casting, the metal flow at the die inlet is controlled by the tilting angle and speed
of the die.
6.3.2. Advantages of the tilting gravity die casting process
One of the advantages of tilting gravity die casting is that it can produce dense, high
quality castings with excellent mechanical attributes like strength and stiffness. That
makes it very suitable for demanding automotive applications like brake system and
suspension components.

Gravity die casting technology’s main advantages include:

 suitability for high-volume, automated production


 minimum investment required for small and medium volume production
 produces parts with excellent mechanical properties that are also suitable for
heat treatment

As sand cores can be placed within the mould, gravity die casting can also produce
parts with complex shapes.

6.3.3. Application
Gravity die casting technology is ideal for diverse complex aluminium casting
production of automotive parts such as: turbos, brake calipers, knuckles, engine
cylinder heads, engine blocks and pistons. It suits many other industries too, from
lighting components to kitchen tools.

6.4. Spot Welding Machine

Spot welding machine


6.4.1. What is spot welding?
The process uses two shaped copper alloy electrodes to concentrate welding current
into a small "spot" and to simultaneously clamp the sheets together. Forcing a large
current through the spot will melt the metal and form the weld.

6.4.2. Advantages of spot welding


 In this type of welding the base metal does not undergo to large heat affected
area.
 This type of welding is an easy process.
 Spot welding has a high production rate.
 Spot welding can be applied to different metals to join.
 Spot welding is a low-cost process.
 There is a possible to weld multiple metals at a time.
 It can be operated through automatic and manual type.
 Thin metals can be welded more efficiently.
 It does not require more skilled persons at operation.
6.4.3. Used for
 For holding left and right panel of fuel tank
 For welding emblem placing
 For holding left and right panel of frame body
 For Front fender rivet wielding

6.5. Seam Welding Machine

Seam welding machine


6.5.1. What is seam welding?
Seam welding is a welding technique in which the two similar or dissimilar metals are
connected by supplying an electric current and in this process a nugget formation takes
place. Mostly, these nuggets are formed in the form of butt or the overlapping welding
components.

6.5.2. Advantages of seam welding


 This welding is a quicker process than spot welding.
 It is a continuous welding technique suitable for gas & liquid tight containers.
 Energy is utilized efficiently in this technique.
 It doesn’t need the use of filler material.
 No pollutions like fumes of gases because filler material is not utilized.
 This technique can produce liquid tight & gas-tight joints.
 Since the joint is forged due to heat & pressure, a durable weld is formed in
seam welding.
 This welding is easy to operate.
6.5.3. Used for
 It is used in the assembly of fuel tanks.

MIG Welding Machine + Robot

MIG welding machine MIG welding robot


What is MIG welding?
MIG welding is an arc welding process in which a continuous solid wire electrode is
fed through a welding gun and into the weld pool, joining the two base materials
together. A shielding gas is also sent through the welding gun and protects the weld
pool from contamination. In fact, MIG stands for metal inert gas. A 75 percent argon/25
percent carbon dioxide blend (also called 75/25 or C25) works as the best all-purpose
shielding gas for mild steel. It produces the least amount of spatter, best bead
appearance and won't promote burn-through on thinner metals. Copper plated mild steel
wire used as filler material.

Advantages of MIG welding


 High quality welds can be produced much faster

 Since a flux is not used, there is no chance for the entrapment of slag in the weld
metal resulting in high quality welds

 The gas shield protects the arc so that there is very little loss of alloying
elements. Only minor weld spatter is produced

 MIG welding is versatile and can be used with a wide variety of metals and
alloys

 The MIG process can be operated several ways, including semi and fully
automatic

Used for
 Fuel tank right and left panel welding.

 Frame body left and right panel welding.


6.6. TIG Welding Machine

TIG welding machine


6.6.1. What is TIG welding?
TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), is
an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the
weld. TIG welding utilizes a constant current welding power supply to generate an
electric arc between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece, using the resultant heat
to create the weld.

The weld area is generally protected from atmospheric contamination by use of an inert
shielding or cover gas (argon or helium).

6.6.2. Advantages of TIG welding


 Capable of producing very neat, high quality welds

 Excellent visibility of weld puddle

 Virtually no smoke or spatter

 Effective on very thin material and parts of varying thickness

 Good at producing gas-tight joints

 Relatively easy to switch between welding different materials and most TIG
machines can be used for stick welding just by swapping the torch and flipping
a switch. Most material use the same shielding gas (pure argon) and wire feed
is manual so you just pick up a different filler rod.
 Works well on virtually all metals (including aluminium and magnesium with
AC capable machines).

 allows a high degree of control over heat input

 Travel rate and current can be changed on the fly which is very useful for
complex welds

 Capable of autogenous welds (no filler)

6.6.3. Used for


 Frame body complex parts welding
 Fuel tank ripple welding

6.7. Conveyor Belt

Conveyor Belt
6.7.1. What is conveyor belt?
A conveyor belt is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system (often shortened to
belt conveyor). A belt conveyor system is one of many types of conveyor systems. A
belt conveyor system consists of two or more pulleys (sometimes referred to as
drums), with an endless loop of carrying medium—the conveyor belt—that rotates
about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material
on the belt forward.
6.7.2. Advantages of conveyor
 It is one of the cheapest ways to move material long distances.
 There is virtually no degradation of your product caused by conveying.
 The conveyor can have changes in elevation.
 The material can be visible on the belt while being conveyed.
 Belts can be loaded virtually any place along the belt.
 The belt can have “trippers” to unload the belt almost any place.
 Belt conveyors can have metal separators designed in.
6.7.3. Used for
 Move assembled parts forward

6.8.1. CNC Machine: How Does It Work?
As discussed in the last part, a typical lathe comprises of a bed, headstock, tailstock,
chuck, tool turret, carriage and a spindle for feeding purposes. The following steps
define how this particular machine works:

1. First Step: After checking the machine for the working faults, a cylindrical
workpiece is attached to the chuck. Its position can differ as per requirement.
2. Second Step: Now set the spindle on the desired speed, thus rotating the chuck
and the workpiece. Major attention needs to be paid on the spindle speed as
any discrepancy can cause cutting errors. Check if the workpiece is turning
properly.
3. Third Step: Now locate the cutting tool at the desired feed by moving the tool
turret and carriage. Pay special attention to feeding speed.
4. Fourth Step: Remove all the excess metal by moving the carriage to get the
finished product.

One of the recurring themes in any entry level job search is lack of experience. "Where
do I get experience if no one is willing to hire me?" The answer is simple: Get an
internship!

Students planning to enter the permanent workforce should complement their academic
preparation with a range of other experiences, such as study abroad, community service,
undergraduate research experiences, participation in sports and other student
organizations, membership in pre-professional organizations, and internships.

An internship offers you the chance to learn by doing in a setting where you are
supervised by a work-place professional and have the opportunity to achieve your own
learning goals, without the responsibilities of being a permanent employee.
An internship also offers you the opportunity to work with someone who can become
a mentor for you - not only in the internship but throughout your career.

10. SUGGESTIONS/ RECOMMENDATIONS

10.1. To the Organization


 Facilitation; The management of HR should buy more facilities such as
computers, vehicles so as to enable smooth running of the company’s activities
and respond to the dynamic competition environment. This technological
advancement will enable the organization to change from manual to
computerized methods of processing documents and proper record keeping.
And also provide place for interns. Provide proper schedule for all four
departments.
 More opportunities to students to do intern in their organization; The intern
would also recommend the Organization to continue giving internship
placements to as many students as they can because some miss this experience
which is also important requirement of the University due to the fact that they
failed to get placements.
 Allowances, the organization should give allowances to interns most especially
transport allowances to cater for transport cost most students stay far from the
internship places hence increasing my expenses. Therefore the intern
recommends the Organization to put that in to action in order to motivate interns
and boost their productivity levels in performing their tasks during the field
attachment.
 Serious supervision to the workers and students, the organization should
increase and ensure more supervision over the employees in order to work
effectively and also eliminate workers who relax, work lazily and perform
actively after seeing their supervisors.
 Job enlargement: The management of Amnesty Commission should also carry
out job enlargement and enrichment such that it mitigate the conflict amongst
employees for roles and tasks .This will ensure good industrial relations
between the supervisors and subordinates at the organization.

10.2. To the university,


 Constant supervision of students, the intern recommends the university to carry
out constant supervision and monitoring of students during the internship
training so as to encourage them to perform the duties fully and also accurately.
This will also put a close link between the academic supervisors and the field
supervisors so as to foster appropriate assessment of what the interns are doing
in the field.

 Secure Internship placements for students. The University should help students
to secure internship positions according to their respective programs undertaken
at the University through giving students recommendations in order to ease their
training periods and also avoid the ache gotten by students in search of
internship placements

 Should continue with internship program, this is because it helps to prepare the
students for their careers in future and also enable the students to practice the
theoretical knowledge obtained during class be exercised practically. It also
helps to develop students understanding of work ethics, employment demands,
responsibilities and opportunities.

The internship program helped me to gain important knowledge on auto-mobile


industry, their culture, work environment and all about auto-mobile development.
Participating in weekly team meeting with AM, Project manager and other team
members and discussing on the threats of the projects helped me attain the faith to
develop a never give up attitude. At the same time it helped me learning the structure
of auto-mobiles and mechanisms used in auto-mobile industry and inspired me to be
striver, responsible and confident. The internship program has increased my team work
capabilities as well respect to the team mate’s ideas and suggestions. Team discussions

professional field. It has certainly lifted my software development skills in terms of
design and coding. I now look forward to facing the upcoming challenges of the world.
