 DE BURRING STANDARD TIME (TYPE OF OPERATIONS)

Calculation of time per part:

Burring 1)- Determine length of part and type of burring operation

2)- Multiply the burr operation from –III
(chart ‘C’ by standard per edge, inch, square inch or hole)

Handling: Add handling time per length of part from –II(chart-B)

to burr time to obtain unit time.

Example:

Sand drum burr, part-8” long one edge up o 10” ½ to 3lbs

Burr time = 0.0012
Handling time per job
Clamped to table = 0.0042
