Introduction:
A C-clamp is a type of clamp device typically
used to hold a wood or metal work piece, and is
often used in, but is not limited to, carpentry and
welding. These clamps are called "C" clamps
because of their C shaped frame, but are otherwise
often called G-clamps or G-cramps because
including the screw part they are shaped like an
uppercase letter G.
Objective of the project:
The main objective of the project is to learn
the techniques of the various types of machines
used in lab and learn how to operate them in
sequence of processes in order to fabricate a well
finished product that is functional and useable.
Usage
A C-clamp is used by turning the screw through
the bottom of the frame until the desired state is
reached. In the case that the clamp is being tightened,
this is when the objects being secured are
satisfactorily secured between the flat end of the
screw and the flat end of the frame. If the clamp is
being loosened, this is when a sufficient amount of
force has relieved to allow the secured objects to be
moved.
Usage of C-clamp
Work plan:
We start the project by applying the Process
Planning as follow:
Deciding what process and methods should be
used and in what sequence.
Determining tooling requirement.
Selecting production equipments and systems.
Sequence of processes used in part fabrication
Basic process:
Establishes the initial geometry of the part.
Secondary process:
Transform the basic shape into the final geometry.
Finishing operations:
Provide a coating on the work part surface.
Lab work
We were provided with a C section with a great
length, the first task was to cut it to the length needed
to produce the work part C-clamp.
Drawings and dimensions of the work piece before and after cutting it.
The second task was to drill a hole of 10mm
diameter for he bolt and nut to make the holding
part of the C-clamp. the following image shows a
top view of the work piece after drilling
The last task was welding the nut right above the
drilled hole and putting the bolt in it.

Sequence of the processes
Square File: The square file is quite thin and fits into
corners well. They can e used to file slots in metal or
for filing where there is little space.
Knife File: Knife files are very useful when filing
where there is little space. Knife files are very thin
and can fit into small gaps.
Shaping Plywood
Regular files do not work well on wood, the
traditional tool for shaping wood is a rasp, which has
projecting teeth to gouge out and remove wood. This
can be a bit rough on plywood.
A rasp is a tool used for shaping wood or other
material. It consists of a point or the tip, then a long
steel bar or the belly, then the heel or bottom, then the
tang. The tang is joined to a handle, usually made of
plastic or wood.
Welding
Process for joining separate pieces of metal in a
continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is
accomplished by the application of high pressure at
room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done
by means of hammering, with the addition of heat.
Arc welding
