It is therefore important to know the characteristics of the available engineering materials Raw materials used manufacturing of products, tools, machines and equipments in factories or industries are extracted from ores The ores are suitably converted the metal into a molten form by reducing or refining processes 4 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology in foundries This... Ford Motor Company to describe the automatic handling of materials and parts between the process operations The word ‘automation’ is derived from the Greek word automatos meaning self-acting Automation can also be defined as the process of following a predetermined sequence of operations with little or no human intervention, using specialized equipment and devices that 8 Introduction to Basic Manufacturing. .. within a well planned manufacturing organization The complete understanding of basic manufacturing processes and workshop technology is highly difficult for any one to claim expertise over it The study deals with several aspects of workshops practices also for imparting the basic working knowledge of the different engineering materials, tools, equipments, manufacturing processes, basic concepts of electromechanical... Introduction to Basic Manufacturing Processes and Workshop Technology perform and control the manufacturing process Automation is a word that has many meanings in the industry today Automatic machines of all kinds existed long before the term automation was conceived But, it should be noted that all automatic machines do not come under the category of automation Automation is a technology concerned with the...
