● SECTION OF THE COMPANY WE HAVE BEEN WORKING

● We have been working in many sections but mainly in
maintenance section. Its main function is tomaintain
machines that are failed during operation and check each and
every day their performancebefore the operation starts.
● WORK FLOW IN OUR SECTION(in maintainance
department mostly)
maintainance department section
 Machines in TGF companey
● Lathe machine
●
Milling machine
●
Surface grinding machine
● High speed authomatic hydraulic bending machine
● Hydraulic shaping and shearing machine
● Sawing machine
●
Hydraulic rolling machine
●
CNC mi8lling and lathe machine
● Etc..
 Procedures we used while
● Reading the manual
performing our task
● Inorder to understand and verify the standard operation of the machine we read the manual of the
● machine
● And also manual also many machines like lathe, milling, shearing and bending machines.
● By using visual inspection method
● By inspecting the machine while It is performing its task It used to identify the problems that
● cause the malfunction of the machine.
● Root cause analysis
● By observing the effect or the problem of the machine we tried to list the causes that create the
● problem and identifying the root causes of the problem.
● Discuses with operators
● In order to have common understanding on the problems we discussed with our colleagues and
● collecting formation that we didn’t encounter while solving the machine.
 Challenges and measures we take
● • We perform our tasks within the available equipment.
● • We used internet to operate.
● • Read the manual.
● • Asking the operators who it can be maintained.
● • Make close relationship with workers and operators.
 Benefits we gainend on intership
● IN TERMS OF IMPROVING PRACTICAL SKILL
● The aim or purpose of internship mostly concern on
improving practical skill. The methodology of design a
new thing on school is improved by practical learning.
We try to understand machines which we know
before by theory what they look like and how they are
operated and we worked by this machine practically.
 In terms of industrial problem
solving
● We have gained many things when identifying problem and solve it in
the company and possible to improve my creativity. Problem skill is key
skill that either solving a problem or discovering new problems. We
improving from this we learning the basic steps how to solving problem.
The steps are:-
● How to find and define problem
● How to generate alternative ideas
● How to select alternative solution
● How to implement solution
 Work ethices in TGF
●
As workers wear made to specialize in different fields, specific codes of conduct were expected
●
from each worker. In today complex world, ethical conduct of workers is very important for
●
developing healthy working environment and increase productivity. From the company we
learned
●
about work ethics like:-
●
• Punctuality
●
• Effectiveness
●
• Accountability
●
• Hard working . . .
 Intership project
● Title of project:-
” hydraulicaly operated sheet metal
transporting and lowering”
● Background of the project
● Statement of the problem
● Objective of the project
● Specfic objective
● beneficiary
 background
● The name scissor transport is originated from the device which extends and retracts like scissor.
● Considering the need for this kind of mechanism, estimating as well the cost of expanding energy
● more that result gotten as well the maintenance etc. It is better to adopt this design concept to the
● production of the machine.
● The name of this transport originated from the ability of the device to transport and lower. It was
● rather found out that; there is a possibility of the individual ascending/descending, to be controlling
● the device itself. Therefore further research was made to see how to achieve this aim. Several
● challenges were encountered in this very design. Some amongst many include; low efficiency,
● extended time of operation, dependent operation, as well as maintenance cost.
 Objective of the project
design hydraulically operated sheet metal transporting and lowering.
●
Specfic objective
To design sheet metal transport machine by using human power to reduce energy and
increase speed.
To get great understanding of CATIA V5 and AUTOCAD 2014 software to design parts.
To get understanding for each component analysis.
Easy ways of calculating cost estimation.
To modify or improve the existing product both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Testing the improved product.
To maintain the machine easily.
 beneficiary
● The design of sheet metal transporting and lowering machine has
so many benefit for our hoisting
● company, for different factory and for over all the country. From
those purpose some are:-
● To transport and lower sheet metal.
● To transport other materials and machine that weights up to 200kg.
● To access construction material and working material for other
industry.
 Design analaysis
● FRAME
The entire frame of a sheet metal transporting and lowering machine
consists of links/top and bottom/, base frame, support frame. The
frame is manufactured by sheet metal processes and forming.
● TOP PLATE FORM
It is rectangular flat sheet metal that used to carry the sheet metal
and other material. And also it contain movable sheet that are fixed
by movable rubber.
 Top plate frame
● The top platform is a flat sheet that has a movable plate that used to carry
the load that went to transport or lowered. The components that attached to
top platform are:-
• Rings that used to attach the link to top plate form
• Movable part of top plate form
• Lever that used to push up the movable part
• Slot that used slide the top idler wheel
• Two rectangular flat bar used to support movable part
 frame

● The frame is a rectangular rod that used to support

and give strength to the top plate form. It has a slot
that used to slide top idler wheel. The rings that
used to attach the link to top plate form is attach to
the frame. Generally there are 4 frame with
different dimension are required for top plateform.
