SOLDERING – INCLUDES : SOFT SOLDERING SILVER SOLDERING BRAZING SOFT SOLDERING – QUICK AND EASY METHOD OF JOINING COPPER, BRASS AND TIN PLATE SILVER SOLDERING – JOINTS ARE BUILT UP IN DECREASING TEMPERATURES BRAZING – ALLOY OF COPPER AND ZINC. VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE ALL REQUIRE FLUX TO HELP KEEP JOINT CLEAN AND STRONG.

SOLDERING WELDING RIVETTING NUTS & BOLTS WELDING INCLUDES FOLLOWING OXYGEN – ACETYLENE – VERY HOT FLAME USING BURNING GASES TO MELT BOTH PARENT METAL AND FILLER ROD – MAINLY THIN PLATE WORK.

ELECTRIC ARC – USES ELECTRICAL CURRENT (ARC) TO CREATE HEAT ENOUGH TO FUSE TOGETHER PARENT METALS – CAN BE USED FOR LIGHT AND HEAVY PLATE WORK.

RIVETTING – NUTS & BOLTS : ROUND HEAD – REQUIRES AN ENGINEERS (BALL PEEN HAMMER) AND RIVET SET (DOLLY) TO ROUND OVER THE HEAD OF THE RIVET POP RIVET – QUICK AND EASY METHOD OF JOINING THIN PLATE. WEAKER THAN A SOLID ROUND HEAD RIVET.

NUTS & BOLTS – A TEMPORARY FIXING THAT RELIES ON FRICTION TO HOLD PARTS TOGETHER. HOLDING THROUGH MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE OF SCREW THREADS.

TENSOL CEMENT 12 A SOLVENT BASED ADHESIVE. NOT VERY STRONG. WORKS BY ATTACKING THE SURFACE OF THE ACRYLIC TO BOND THEM TOGETHER.

SUPPLIED READY TO USE AND SETS QUICKLY TENSOL CMENT 70

TENSOL CEMENT DRILLED AND JOINED WITH MACHINE SCREWS

A POLYMERISING ADHESIVE LIKE ‘LIQUID’ ACRYLIC THAT LINKS WITH THE MATERIAL RESULTING IN A JOINT THAT IS NEARLY AS STRONG AS THE ACRYLIC ITSELF. NEEDS CAREFUL MIXING AND A LONGER SETTING TIME.

MAKE SURE YOU SUPPORT THE UNDERNEATH OF THE PLASTIC BEFORE DRILLING DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN TO AVOID CRACKING THE MATERIAL.

ESSENTIAL TO REPEAT ACCURACY OF PARTS THAT GO TOGETHER TO MAKE COMPLETE UNIT.

ITEMS THAT ARE PRODUCED (MADE) SINGLY. POSSIBLY DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PRODUCT, E.G. BRIDGES, SATELLITES, JEWELLERY, WEDDING DRESSES, MACMILLAN COLLEGE AND OF COURSE YOU - SAFETY AND RELIABILITY ARE OFTEN OF HIGH PRIORITY THAN COSTS, ALSO HIGH AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS.

A SYSTEM OF PRODUCING IDENTICAL ITEMS IN FIXED NUMBERS FOR A SPECIFIC CLIENT. E.G. SCHOOL TIES, FURNITURE, DESIGNER CLOTHING, ITEMS WITH CLIENT LOGO RATHER THAN MAKERS LOGO. WHEN THE BATCH IS COMPLETE, THE TOOLS USED CAN BE USED TO PRODUCE A BATCH OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS. PRODUCING ITEMS IN VERY HIGH QUANTITIES THAY CAN RECOVER THE COSTS OF TOOLING UP. COST OF MANUFACTURE IS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. E.G. CARS, BIRO’S, CHOCOLATE BARS, SCHOOL SHIRTS, CD’S. NO FIXED NUMBER AND NO SPECIFIC CLIENT.

DISABLED ACCESS REQUIRED THE EXAM WILL BE LOOKING FOR MORE THAN JUST THE BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF – WEAR GOGGLES, TIE YOUR HAIR BACK, WEAR AN APRON.

IT WILL BE CONCERNED WITH RESPONSIBILITY FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY I.E.

AWARNESS OF SAFETY SIGNS AND THEIR MEANINGS LEGISLATION REGARDING ROOM LAYOUT POSITIONING OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUARDS AND USAGE SPEEDS OF MACHINERY ADEQUATE SPACE FOR WALKWAYS BETWEEN TABLES WHERE THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTONS AND FIRE EXTINGUISHERS ARE LOCATED.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES THAT THEY ARE IN TACT AND MOVE FREELY. SIGNS IN PLACE INFORMING THEIR USAGE MAKING USE OF TRAINING TO ENABLE SAFE USE OF MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT – GET SUPERVISION.

THAT REVOLVING CUTTERS CAN BE ADJUSTED MANUALLY ACCORDING TO THE SIZE OF MATERIAL OR HOLE TO BE CUT

STATIC DIMENSIONS – TAKEN WHEN A PERSONS BODY IS IN A FIXED POSITION. STANDING, HOLDING TOOLS ETC.

2.

DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS – TAKEN DURING MOVEMENT. CONCERNED WITH THE AREA OF REACH FOR ARMS AND LEGS.

ERGONOMICS USES ANTHROPOMENTRICS YOU CANNOT DESIGN A PRODUCT WITHOUT FIRST MEASURING THE USER THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE HAND ACCESS TO ALLOW RETRIEVAL OF THE CD BOXES

IT IS NOT JUST HOW THE PRODUCT LOOKS.

APPEARANCE – COLOURS, SHADES, STYLE, CULTURE, THEME, VALUE FOR MONEY.

HOW IT LOOKS IN RELATION TO OTHER ITEMS IN THE ROOM – E.G. LAMP, PHONE, DIARY, EXEC’ TOYS COMPUTER, STERIO, IPOD ETC.
