  2. Machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

    Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, [1] which utilizes machine tools, in contrast to additive manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing), which uses controlled addition of material. Machining is a major process of the manufacture of many metal products, but it can also be used on other materials such as wood, plastic, ceramic, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_element

    While generally not considered to be a machine element, the shape, texture and color of covers are an important part of a machine that provide a styling and operational interface between the mechanical components of a machine and its users. Machine elements are basic mechanical parts and features used as the building blocks of most machines. [2]

  4. Interchangeable parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeable_parts

    Interchangeable parts are parts that are identical for practical purposes. They are made to specifications that ensure that they are so nearly identical that they will fit into any assembly of the same type. One such part can freely replace another, without any custom fitting, such as filing. This interchangeability allows easy assembly of new ...

    A common everyday example of a boss is the housing of the rotation spindle in a washing machine drum, or on a cylinder lawn mower at the end of the cutting blade cylinder which may house a bearing set to allow the cylinder to rotate through one plane, but held firm in another plane. A boss can also be a brass eyelet on a sail.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fabrication

    It is a value-added [1] process involving the creation of machines, parts, and structures from various raw materials. Typically, a fabrication shop bids on a job, usually based on engineering drawings, and if awarded the contract, builds the product. Large fab shops employ a multitude of value-added processes, including welding, cutting ...

  8. Moving parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_parts

    Machines include both fixed and moving parts. The moving parts have controlled and constrained motions. [1] [2] Moving parts are machine components excluding any moving fluids, such as fuel, coolant or hydraulic fluid. [citation needed] Moving parts also do not include any mechanical locks, switches, nuts and bolts, screw caps for bottles etc

  9. Machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine

    Simple machines provide a "vocabulary" for understanding more complex machines. The idea that a machine can be decomposed into simple movable elements led Archimedes to define the lever, pulley and screw as simple machines. By the time of the Renaissance this list increased to include the wheel and axle, wedge and inclined plane.
