Sequence of operations |
Comments |
| | |
|
1. Prepare the workplace. Make the working material available. |
Check for completeness. |
| | |
|
2. Join the square stock by a clamp. Mark and punch the centres for drilling. |
Make sure that the reference surface is even and accurate in angle and without offset. |
| | |
|
3. Produce the holes for pins (1), (2) and (3). Countersink at both ends. |
Calculate the hole diameter from the type of pin used and the nominal diameter. |
| | |
|
4. Apply some grease to pin (1) and insert it into its hole. |
Drive in the grooved cylinder pin by two or three short blows with a hammer. |
| | |
|
5. Remove the clamps. Check that the two pieces of square stock are held together tightly by the pin. |
Try to twist the joint. Ask your instructor to see and assess the joint. |
|
| |
|
6. Join the pieces in the clamp once more. Remove the pin. |
Use a suitable punch to drive out the pin. |
| | |
|
7. Ream the hole for pin (2). Slightly grease the pin (2) and insert it into its hole. |
Try the fit of the taper pin before you drive it out. |
| | |
|
8. Remove the clamp. Check that the two pieces of square stock are firmly held together by the pin. Check the pin for correct fit |
Try to twist the joint. Ask your instructor to see and assess the joint |
|
| |
|
9. Clamp the pieces once again. Remove the pin. | |
| | |
|
10. Ream the hole for pin (3). Slightly grease pin (3) and insert it into its hole. |
Be careful when driving in the cylindrical pin. |
| | |
|
11. Remove the clamp. Check that the two pieces of square stock are firmly held together by the pin. |
Try to twist the joint. Ask your instructor to see and assess the joint |
|
| |
|
12. Re-insert pin (1) and pin (2). | |
| | |
|
13. Clamp the piece of sheet metal 24 × 48 together with the pieces of square stock. Mark and punch the holes for the grooved drive studs (4) and (5). |
Apply the clamp to the middle of the sheet metal piece. |
| | |
|
14. Produce the holes for the grooved studs (4) and (5) and the 60-degree included angle countersink for grooved drive stud (5). | |
| | |
|
15. Insert the grooved drive studs (4) and (5) into their holes and drive them in by slight blows with an aluminium hammer. |
Do not damage the heads of the drive studs. |
| | |
|
16. Remove the clamp. Check that the parts are firmly held together by the grooved drive studs. Check the drive studs for correct fit |
Ask your instructor to see and assess the joint |
