SUMMARY:Beers & Gears
DESCRIPTION:Beers & Gears is for Massachusetts Manufacturers to come together and learn more about today’s best practices in the manufacturing industry. The scope of Beer & Gears was created to focus on a Manufacturer and Brewery in regions across Massachusetts. \nPlease join us for this great event! This is a time to network with manufacturers in Western Mass. and learn more about workforce development\, smart manufacturing\, continuous improvement\, and so much more from your region. Thanks again to our sponsors\, TD Bank\, for helping us put this event together. \nWestern Mass.\, Manufacturers sign up today and join us as we tour Peerless Precision\, and head over to Great Awakening Brewing Company for networking and brewery production tours. \nWhile this event will be held for Western Mass\, there will be more Beer & Gears to follow in a region near you soon! \n \n   \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Basic Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
DESCRIPTION:  \nGeometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is the universally accepted method of communicating dimensioning requirements on engineering drawings. This workshop will help you understand and use this universal engineering language to communicate the types and amounts of the inevitable variation that parts are allowed to have\, per the drawing. \nCourse Description & Outline\nIntended for practicing professionals who create drawing specifications or read drawings\, this course helps students make sense of a topic that some find overwhelming. In a safe learning environment\, the key principles are explained and brought down to the real world. More than simply memorizing symbols\, students leave this course with a working understanding of how the system works and feel confident fully understanding drawing requirements and creating their own tolerancing schemes for parts. This course provides lots of practical hands on exercises to drive home the concepts and encourage questions and effective discussions. The exercises go beyond the theory to show how tolerancing works on real working parts. \n\nFundamentals of GD&T: Types of variation and how they’re controlled. Features of size and surfaces. Rule #1. Definitions of maximum material condition (MMC) and least material condition (LMC) and how they are used to determine bonus tolerance.\nTolerances of Form: Controls of flatness\, straightness\, circularity and cylindricity. Examples on how they are specified\, their meaning and principles of verification. Straightness and flatness controls applied to features of size and surfaces.\nConcept of Datums and the Datum Reference Frame: The common point of reference for the part definition from design through manufacturing and inspection. How imperfect parts are measured according to the design intent.\nTolerances of Orientation: Controls of parallelism\, perpendicularity\, and angularity applied to surfaces and features of size. Examples on their use and meaning as well as verification principles.\nTolerances of Location: Controls of position\, comparison and conversion from conventional tolerancing. Applications and examples of position used for various features. Composite position tolerances. The classic examples of floating and fixed fasteners will be cited to demonstrate tolerancing for position to avoid interference problems of fit. Projected tolerance zone. Concentricity and symmetry interpretation and application.\nTolerances of Profile: Controls of profile of a line and profile of a surface. Equally disposed and unequally disposed profile tolerances. Profile tolerances applied to multiple surfaces. Examples of various simple and complex surfaces.\nTolerances of Runout: Controls of circular runout and total runout.\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nName the four types of variation that exist on parts\, recognize the limitations of numeric tolerances and understand the need for geometric tolerances.\nAnalyze tolerances expressed numerically and calculate minimum and maximum allowable values for dimensions.\nUnderstand and apply the symbols used with the geometric system of tolerances.\nRecognize basic dimensions on prints and understand their meaning.\nIdentify and properly read feature control frames.\nRecognize when bonus tolerance is available and calculate geometric tolerance values when bonus tolerance applies.\nCreate specifications using bonus tolerance where applicable\nRecognize datum feature identifiers applied to features with size and surfaces.\nIdentify the datum reference frame including order of precedence.\nRecognize when datum shift is used and calculate the amount of shift.\nIdentify and interpret geometric controls on location\, orientation\, form\, profile & runout.\nConstruct illustrations of tolerance zones defined by geometric controls\, including 3D and 2D tolerance zones\,and those allowed to move.\nProperly evaluate inspection data in light of tolerance zones defined by geometric controls.\n\nWho Should Attend\nCAD draftspersons\, tool designers\, technical inspectors\, mechanical engineering\, technicians\, machine shop and tool room supervisors. Design\, manufacturing\, and project engineers\, quality control personnel\, engineering managers and supervisors will also find this workshop beneficial. \n  \nFor More Information on the Certificate Click Here \nRegister Here
