In designing a machine component, the problem may be attempted in many ways. More so some procedure can be followed to solve a design problem.
1. Recognition of need.
we need to make the statement of the problem, showing the need, the main purpose for which the machine is to be designed.
2. Material selection.
The material selected should be the best for each part of the machine for example a material making a gripper can be harder than the body.
3. Analysis of forces.
we need to find the forces acting on each of the members of the machine and the energy transmitted by each part.
4. motion/ mechanisms.
select the most possible mechanism which will give the desired motion.
5. Modification.
consider room for modification, this modification may also be necessary by consideration of manufacturing to reduce overall cost.
6. Consider detailed drawing. draw the detailed drawing of each component and the assembly of the machine with complete specification for the manufacturing processes suggested.
7. Production.
The component as per the drawing is manufactured in the workshop.
