Week 11. The Manufacturing Process

Describe the manufacturing process of the product you spoke about in your first presentation. Divide your presentation in steps, just like the example we saw last level. When you watch the video, I recommend you to turn on the close captions.

Remember to use gerunds to name the steps (bolting, shearing, pressing, etc.) and to incorporate the passive voice to describe the process. Here's an extract from the video:

Step 1: Shearing

The first step in the manufacturing of any bolt is to cut the round bar to length. Our Peddinghaus shears function much like a guillotine and chop the steel, rather than using a saw blade to cut through it. We are capable of shearing round bars up to 2 inches in diameter and up to 100” in length. Bolts that are larger in diameter or longer in length are cut using a band saw.

Step 2: Heading

Next, a hex head is hot-forged onto one end of the steel rod. An induction heating coil heats the end of the rod to approximately 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. A National Upsetter  is then used to forge the heated end of the rod into a hex-shaped head.
