Mr. Flynn's Industrial Arts Welding II Project class would like to thank R.L Lewis Industries, based out of Pekin, Illinois. Our students were given a great opportunity to complete a real world manufacturing project. Our class built forty hook assemblies for their powder coat paint line. Using a provided assembly print, we designed and built a tack weld assembly fixture. Each component was then completely MIG welded and cleaned free of weld spatter. A mounting hole was then drilled using our vertical milling machine. Each part was then deburred and inspected for overall quality.
Again, we would like to give a huge thanks to R.L Lewis Industrial for your generous donation of new tooling for our milling machine, as well as the valuable experience this project provided to our students.
