Abstract
Manufacturing processes laboratory is one of the fundamental hands-on courses that mechanical engineering and mechanical engineering technology students are required to take in their first semester. The main purpose of this course is to introduce the mechanical engineering technology student to the principles and operation of mechanical equipment such as lathes, drill press, milling machines and measuring requirements and measuring instruments. Individual laboratory projects are typically assigned to each student to reinforce the topics covered in the theory. Throughout these projects, students will be able to use a lathe machine along with proper machining procedures to manufacture mechanical components. Operator safety is the top priority when working with a lathe machine. Therefore, any method to increase the operator safety is desirable. This paper demonstrates designing a novel work-holding tool to be used during turning lathe operation. The device, which is called Integrated Faceplate Dog (IFD), eliminates the need for using the traditional work-holding accessory (a lathe faceplate). As a result, students will work with the lathe machines much safer, it will enhance the final quality of the manufactured parts, and will greatly reduce the setup time. Overall, there are numerous educational outcomes: students will be able to produce better quality components in a shorter period of time.
