The Different Types of Projects for Mechanical Engineering
Company News Friday, February 7, 2014: Siyanda Engineering (Pty) Ltd
Projects for mechanical and steel engineering are usually quite complex, and require plenty of knowledge and experience in order to get right. Because of this, it is no wonder that a person has to study for so many years in order to receive the title of ‘mechanical engineer’ or ‘steel engineer’. Projects for mechanical and steel engineering range from metal fabrication and general pipe work to the creation of brand new milling CNC machines and tools. According to Wikipedia:
Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering, physics and materials science for analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production, and operation of machines and tools. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering)
Projects for mechanical engineering often result in the creation of unique tools and equipment that we make use of in our day to day lives. These tools and equipments can include toasters, tools for fixing cars and even that special compressor machine that you use in your work shop. Other projects for mechanical and steel engineering include the following:
- Precision fitting: This is a service most commonly performed by steel engineers and involves the perfect placement of certain aspects of machinery and equipment. What makes a CNC machine work is the fact that all of its components have been put in the correct place.
- Machining: This is the actual act of designing and creating different types of machines for specific uses. Machines can include CNC machines, as well as horizontal and vertical lathes. Many engineers specialising in projects for mechanical engineering will be able to tailor make certain machines for clients.
- Welding and Metal Fabrication: this service refers to the process of utilizing heat in order to mould and alter the shapes of metal components. Welding can include aluminium welding, as well as classic stainless steel welding.
- Reverse engineering: Reverse engineering is a technique used by many mechanical and steel engineers. It includes the process of taking apart certain types of tools, equipment and machines, analyzing how they work and discovering how they can be improved further. This knowledge is then used in order to design a newer version of the tools, equipment or machine – a version that can perform the job better than its predecessor.
As you can see, mechanical and steel engineers perform all sorts of projects from creating a new milling CNC machine to focusing on steel fabrication. If you require any of the aforementioned services or products for your business, then be sure to do your research before hiring the milling company to see to your needs.
Did you know? Mechanical engineering emerged as a field during the industrial revolution in Europe in the 18th century; however, its development can be traced back several thousand years around the world. Mechanical engineering science emerged in the 19th century as a result of developments in the field of physics.
