             PART 1: SINGLE COMPONENT MANUFACTURE
            
             1 Introduction
            
            
             "The aim of this work is to provide an understanding of the principles in manual part programming, with the use of a state of the art CBC vertical machining centre, together with process planning and machine selection for different components."
            
             In order to fulfil this aim, it was necessary to carry out various tasks, including process planning and part programming, as well as spotting any errors prior to machining.
            
             The first task involved producing only one component, using the Denford Triac Fanuc machine, located in the Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory. The aim of this task was to develop part programming skills, and to give a contrast in manufacturing techniques when compared to tasks two and three.
            
             The second task was to plan the process for producing 100,000 of this component every year, which is approximately 25 components per hour . This task gives the student an idea of the economics involved in long run manuf...
