Non-standard metric screw thread geometry calculation
 |
Numerous applications require non-standard metric screw threads. Although non-standard screw threads should be avoided, when there is lack of an appropriate thread size many manufacturers (optical instruments, small size precision parts) use them. This article describes how to calculate such screw threads. |
Working with projection views
 |
The standard way to create an illusion of a 3-D image is to use the default drawing profiles or projection views. This article describes how to make these drawing profiles when your CAD program do not provide a preset function of projection views. |
Gear –Lever Mechanism
 |
The Gear- Lever Mechanism is a simple kinematical transducer. It converts the oscillation of the input lever to various oscillations of the output lever. It is named gear – lever because combines gear and lever motion. |
Designing with Thermoplastics
 |
Today's technology has introduced a variety of new materials for almost every application. The most common non-metallic materials in engineering are the thermoplastics. This article describes a few principles when designing with engineering thermoplastics. |

Swinging positioner
|
The positioner locates a workpiece during the machining. The swinging positioner who is described in this document locates the workpiece accurately from a hole. After the workpiece is positioned then it is lowered in its clamping state whilst the positioner swings with it.

Leveling jack
|
The jack is a part support (jacking up). After clamping the part it is prevented from being distorted or vibrated during the machining process. The leveling jack is functioning as an equalizer and not for jacking up the part.
|
Internal positioner
|
Positioners locate workpieces. The internal positioner described in this document locates the workpiece approximately from an internal recess. A centering vice jaw is further positioning the workpiece more accurately.
|
Crimping tool
|
The crimping tool is useful in manufacturing of steel idlers and rollers. Also with modifications can be use in many applications where crimping of thin round sheet metal components is needed.
