What is Milling?
Milling is a process used to shape products by removing excess material to produce a range of simple and complex shapes.A milling machine has a spindle that holds a rotating cutter in place.

What is Drilling?
Drilling is a process that creates circular holes in a workpiece. The cutting device is called a drill bit. To drill a satisfactory holes in any material the correct type of drill bit must be used.

How can accidents be caused using machining processes?
Loose Clothing Snagging on a revolving part, Flying pieces of metal entering the eye, The hand or arm coming into contact with revolving surfaces/parts and Minor burns from hot material surfaces.
3 of 48
What is casting?
Casting is a process that usally involves pouring or injecting a liquid metal into a mould. The mould contains a cavity that takes the shape of the desired object where the metal is allowed to cool and solidify. The casting is then removed.

What is Forging?
Forging is a process that involves a metal being heated up and shaped by plastic deformation. It is usually achieved by applying some kind of squeezing force (compression) such as hammer blows using a large power press.

What is the welding process of Oxy-Acetylene?
Oxy- Acetylene is a gas welding process where a flame is produced using a mixture of oxygen and acetylene. No pressure on the product is required- the heat is there to control the welding of the parts.
7 of 48
What is the process of Spot Welding?
Spot Welding is a type of electrical resistance welding generally used to join sheet material together. The basic principle uses a transformer with a primary winding and a secondary winding connected to copper electrodes.
8 of 48
What is Shearing?
Shearing is a process used to cut straight lines of a range of materials. An upper blade and lower blade are forced past each other with a space between them determined by a required offset. Usually, one of the blades is stationary.
9 of 48
What is the process of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manafacture?
1) Designing the layout,Usually they are designed using computer software. 2) Producing the artwork,this can be converted from the computer program. 3) PCB Etching, The track and component layout is the converted to the copper covered board.4) Drill

What is Surface Mount Technology?
High Volume industrial PCB manufacture is achieved through Surface Mount Technology. The process involves attaching electrical components to the surface of a conductive board rather than drilling holes for component legs.
11 of 48
What is the process of Surface Mount Technology (SMT)?
1)Apply solder pads to copper pads 2)Place the components using pick and place robot. 3)Convayer belts are used to transport boards to soldering oven 4) The board is heated to a temperature that melts the solder plastic 5)Components are soldered

What is One Off Production?
One Off Production is used when a customer requires a product specially for them or when a prototype needs to be made. There may be one person or a number of people working on the product. The method of production usually results in high unit costs.
13 of 48
What is Batch Production?
Batch production is used when a customer requires a certain quantity of identical products they are usually produced using Batch Production.
14 of 48
What is Mass Production?
Mass production is used to produce products in very large quantities. It usually involves dedicated machines and assembly lines that will repeat the manufacture.
15 of 48
What is Continuous Production?
Continous production involves continous production of products over a period of time. This method usually means

What is Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machinery?
A CNC machine uses programming information to automatically execute a series of machining operations. For example a CNC milling machine has the same basic functions as a traditional milling machine but it has a computer that controls the spindle.
