Batch-testing is required for certification Pre-cut pieces are welded together to form ship * ROBOTIC WELDING Robots are used to weld large Lifespan of a Ship: 25 to 30 years SHIPYARD parts, decreasing time compared to humans O • AUTOMOTIVE DIMENSIONS TOTAL GDP NATIONAL IMPACT: 5% OF AMERICA'S GDP SPEEDS AND WEIGHTS Modern trucks are designed to keep speeds to certain level: around 65 MPH WIDTH: 70-80 FT • Governed by company owners to ensure drivers adhere to national speed and weight limits na. LEGAL US WEIGHT: 34,000 LBS HOW IT'S BUILT CONSTRUCTION CAB ASSEMBLY When main chassis is assembled, 31 Time: A few days to a month it's transferred to construction Painting Design: Designed using computer aided software program 01 Mechanical parts are installed when the truck is inverted O1O Part Installation • Angled to front for easy internal and external part installation 02 Truck slowly turned right side up FABRICATION OF BEARING FRAME: The bearing frame holds the cab, motor, and transmission of the truck. Assembled upside down with use of an overhead crane that can load up to 12,000 kilos to facilitate mounting 03 Motor Propulsion Elements Cab Installation on chassis Transmission is bolted to motor Motor/Hood CUTTING Wheel Installation Plasma and Oxyfuel Cutting Systems • 6-10 wheels • Steel is cut to precision with bevel plasma or oxyfuel cutting machines. Drilling and marking processes are used to cut the bare frame to specific needs Roughly 22" in diameter • Together, both tire and wheel weigh roughly 55 kilos INSPECTION Trucks undergo strict inspections for safety to ensure that it is ready to be driven on the road ASSEMBLY OF STRINGERS KG KG Steel beams of 7.5-13 meters in length CHASIS Stringers attached together using nuts and bolts ART THE ART INDUSTRY MARKET HAS GLOBAL SALES OF ROUGHLY $66 BILLION PER YEAR HISTORY • Metalworking was around as early as 7000 BC to make tools and weapons DIMENSIONS/SIZE • It also became a way to make jewelry and art, quickly rising the value of metal Wide variety of sizes, shapes and styles • Range from small signs to hundreds of feet tall statues HOW IT'S BUILT • PROCESS TYPES: CUTTING FORMING Time: Dependant on design, size, and process 313 Unique art pieces are made by cutting Used to shape, deform, or modify melted metal sections from sheet metal made from stainless steel, mild steel, or aluminum Cutting Types: • Plasma Cutting • Oxyfuel • Fiber Laser PRODUCTION PROCESS: DESIGN: • Metalworking artists begin with design CASTING JOINING By pouring melted metal into molds artists are able to create pieces Used to bond separate metals - diversifying range of creation • Welding • Soldering • Riveting Design determines proccess to be used and sets the timeline for completion Design goes from a sketch into a computer aided drawing software Sources: http://maritime-connector.com/wiki/ship-sizes/ https://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans/eng/ch3en/conc3en/shipsize.html http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/ http://3d.cs.colorado.edu/systems/agentsheets/New-Vista/automobile/history.html http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/automotive-manufacturing-industry-to-reach-17-trillion-by-2015-1544352.htm http://www.carcrushing.com/15-smallest-cars-ever-built/ http://cars.lovetoknow.com/List_of_Car_Weights http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-03-12/global-art-market-surged-to-66-billion-in-2013-report http://michaelchristian.com/portfolio/elevation/?portfoliolD=8#prettyPhoto[postimages]/4/ MESSER Cutting Systems © COPYRIGHT PLASMACUTTINGPROS.COM 2015 LIET YIAO :LHDIHH O
