The world’s demand for manufactured goods is growing

at a staggering rate. Industry has responded to this

demand with many new and sometimes radical ways of

producing products. The art of manufacturing has

undergone many dramatic changes and advances.

These changes have created a dire need for more cost-

effective and efficient work holding methods and

devices. As more manufacturing companies shift their

emphasis toward a zero-parts inventory system to keep

costs down and profits up, the need for efficient and

cost-effective work holders is becoming increasingly

important.

The goal of the program is to develop the teachers’

ability to assimilate high-level, scientific, and

technological information and procedures in the area of

design and development of Industrial work holding

devices and its manufacturing and automation

processes and then break it down into chunks suitable

for teaching and research.

Course Content

• Advances in Press Tool Machines and

Operations

• Defects and remedies –industrial solutions

• Strip layouts & optimization methods

• New ways of Locating and clamping

• Turing, Welding Milling and other fixtures.

• Tool construction and manufacturing tips

• Participants will be given hands on experience

using software to design press tools, jigs and

fixtures.
