MG1000 Mechanical Workshop Practice 3.0 credits

Rules and safety regulations for work in the mechanical workshop

Introduction to the manufacturing equipment in the mechanical workshop

Simple process planning - choice of proper blank, operations plan, machine tool, fixturing and cutting tools

Operation of machine tools - safety and safety equipment, fixtures, cutting tools, tool holders and change of tools, coordinate systems, origin and axis orientations, setting machine zero, speeds and feed rates

Using rules of thumb and handbooks for selecting proper cutting data (speeds and feeds)

Manufacturing of a part of your own choice, documented in a proper manufacturing drawing, using a wide range of the manufacturing equipment available in the mechanical workshop

Tolerances and measurement of manufactured parts

After passing the course, you will be able to:

• explain and strictly adhere to the rules and safety regulations for work in the mechanical workshop
• properly operate the manufacturing equipment in the mechanical workshop
• create and document a typical process plan for manufacturing of a product in the mechanical workshop
• read and use a manufacturing drawing as a definition for the manufacturing of a part
• use gauging equipment to verify that a manufactured part fulfills the requirements specified on a manufacturing drawing
• account for common materials and standard material dimensions used for blanks
• select proper tools and cutting data for a given material and manufacturing process
• realize when your knowledge is insufficient and assistance should be requested

Only Bachelor and Master level students admitted to a programme at KTH, and exchange students, are eligible.

No particular prerequisites required

Karlebo handbok (utlånas); Björk, Formler och tabeller för mekanisk konstruktion (köpes på kursexpedition);

Kompendium med utdrag ur handböcker, ordningsregler, skyddsföreskrifter och säkerhetsinstruktioner;

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• KON1 - Written Examination, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• LAB1 - Workshop Practice, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Passed quiz on order and safety regulations, and theoretical knowledge of manufacturing processes (KON1; 1 cr)

Proven proficiency in workshop practice (LAB1; 2 cr)

Students from all programs who wish to learn to handle machine tools in the mechanical workshop and who wish to get a "driver's licence' for working in the workshop.

As the number of applicants always exceeds maximum number of participants, selection of admission will be done by drawing lots. When admitted students cancel their participation, admission should be granted to students from the waiting list in due order. No admission should be granted to other students!
