MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
MFG001
ADVANCED MANUFACTURING
Video
Live action video takes the viewer into today’s technological
manufacturing facilities. It shows the manufacturing processes that transform
materials into a finished product, and the systems within that contribute to quality and
increased productivity. Emphasis is placed on how computer integrated manufacturing
has and will continue to have influence on workers throughout the decade and into the 21st
century. 18 minutes.
MFG003
COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING
Video
This overview of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) explains why it’s a
necessary part of manufacturing in the 90s and into the next century. Advantages of
using CIM and the problems that some manufacturing operations may encounter are
discussed. General business management, product and process planning and control
systems, factory automation and information resource communications are all explained in
an easy-to-understand manner. A must for anyone who plans to work in
manufacturing. 26 minutes.
MFG005
MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY SERIES
Video Series
Mike, a Manufacturing Technology student, and his supercomputer gather information
in this four-part video series on manufacturing technology. It includes an
introduction/overview and detailed analyses of manufacturing systems, manufacturing
resources and materials, and various manufacturing processes. Includes MFG006-MFG009.
MFG006
INTRODUCTION TO MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY
Video
Overviews basic theory regarding manufacturing technology and systems, giving
definitions and a discussion of how manufacturing is one of the four basic technologies
that provides not only valuable products but also furnished employment for people.
The free enterprise system is discussed. A definition of manufacturing systems is
given, and its parts (inputs processes, outputs and purposes) are briefly examined.
16 minutes.
MFG007
MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Video
Describes the six types of secondary processing of materials to make them into
finished products: making a basic size and shape (casting and molding, forming,
separating), changing properties (conditioning), putting parts together (assembling), and
completing the product (finishing). Also examined are the properties of
manufacturing materials (mechanical, physical, thermal, chemical, electrical, optical and
acoustical). 16 minutes.
MFG008
MANUFACTURING RESOURCES
Video
Examines the inputs needed for any manufacturing system. These resources
include material resources, human resources and capitol resources. Material
resources include raw materials (renewable and exhaustible), industrial materials and
engineered materials. Human resources are divided into labor and manufacturing, with
descriptions of the duties of both and the need for them to work well together to assure
productivity and quality. Also discussed are the importance of capital and knowledge
resources. 18 minutes.
MFG009
MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS
Video
Provides more detailed information on the manufacturing system, including in-depth
discussion of the types of manufacturing systems (continuous, intermittent and custom,
with discussion of each type’s benefits and a comparison of the three), inputs, tools
and equipment, workers, organizations, human and material resources, productivity and
quality control. Included is a discussion on modernization of manufacturing systems
for maintaining and increasing productivity and quality. 17 minutes.
ROBOTICS
MFG011
FUNDAMENTALS OF INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS
Video
Covers the latest information on robotics. It includes footage from major
manufacturers of robots as well as industries using robots in manufacturing and other
processes. In its introduction, the video compares industrial robots to science
fiction robots and offers reasons for the increased interest in robots. It also
covers basic terminology, fundamental concepts, and some of the limitations of robots;
robot system components; classification of robots; programming; and limitation of
robots. A section on industrial applications presents a representative sample of
applications for which industrial robots are used in manufacturing, materials handling,
quality control and so forth. The program also describes many of the emerging career
opportunities in and related to industrial robot systems--system design, system
maintenance, system supervision and system distribution. 29 minutes.
MFG013
UNDERSTANDING ROBOTICS
Video Series
Robots play a very important and ever-increasing role in industry, and a knowledge
of robotics is essential in order to become technologically literate. This series of
three programs (MFG014-MFG016) helps you show how robots work--their capabilities and
their limitations, and how they will influence their future.
MFG014
ROBOTS: AN IMPORTANT PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY
Video
Learn what a robot is and how it compares to human workers. View robots at
work performing a variety of jobs; examine the benefits and liabilities of robots and the
need for worker safety. 11 minutes.
MFG015
ROBOTS: DESIGNED TO MEET ALMOST ANY NEED
Video
See close-ups of robot components and watch them perform various tasks. Learn
about simple two axes robots compared to ten axes regarding the jobs that can be
done. Examine the work envelope and the operation parameters. 11 minutes.
MFG016
ROBOTS: PUTTING THEM TO WORK
Video
View robots doing specific jobs in a variety of settings. Consider criteria
for implementing robots to achieve maximum efficiency, including the cost. 11
minutes.
