What Materials Are iPods Made From?

The current iPod line includes players that range in capacity from 2BG to 160GB. The various models offer different features, including the ability to listen to music, watch movies, record video, player games and connect to the Internet. Stainless Steel According to Apple, stainless steel is a major component in the iPod Touch, iPod Classic and iPod Shuffle. However, it is one of the lesser materials in the iPod Nano. Aluminium Apple includes aluminium components in the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano and iPod Classic because this metal is highly recyclable.

Plastics Plastic materials compose components in all of the iPod models except for the iPod Shuffle. Battery Apple lists the battery as a component of all of its iPods; however, it does not state the basic components of the battery. Circuit Boards Circuit boards are an essential component in all of the iPods. Display. Materlias. iPod Classic. The iPod Classic (stylized and marketed as iPod classic and formerly iPod) is a portable media player marketed by Apple Inc.

iPod Classic

The current generation has the largest storage size of any current iPod offerings, with 160 GB of storage. To date, there have been six generations of the iPod classic, as well as a spin-off (the iPod Photo) that was later re-integrated into the main iPod line. (Some sources incorrectly refer to the revisions of the sixth generation as a separate "seventh generation. ")[citation needed] All generations use a 1.8-inch (46 mm) hard drive for storage. The "classic" suffix was initially introduced when a freelance writer analyzing eBay's used/broken iPod marketplace categorized iPods into different types on May 21, 2006,[1] and was formally introduced with the rollout of the sixth-generation iPod on September 5, 2007.[2] Prior to this, all iPod Classic models were simply referred to as iPods.[3] It is available in silver or black replacing the "signature iPod white".

DELL FactoryTour. (6#6): Porsche 911 (997) Manufacturing: Just-in-Time System. Continuous Production. Continuous Production Definition. Continuous Production. Continuous production. Continuous production is a flow production method used to manufacture, produce, or process materials without interruption.

Continuous production

Continuous production is called a continuous process or a continuous flow process because the materials, either dry bulk or fluids that are being processed are continuously in motion, undergoing chemical reactions or subject to mechanical or heat treatment. Continuous processing is contrasted with batch production. Continuous usually means operating 24 hours per day, seven days per week with infrequent maintenance shutdowns, such as semi-annual or annual. Some chemical plants can operate for more than one or two years without a shutdown.

Blast furnaces can run four to ten years without stopping.[1] AHMSA Steel Production Process. Technology Student. Remote Manufacturing. Computer Integrated Manufacture. This is the complete automation of a manufacturing facility such as a factory.

Computer Integrated Manufacture

All functions are under computer control. This starts with computer aided design, followed by computer aided manufacture, followed by automated storage and distribution. One integrated computer system controls all that happens. Stage One - Computer Aided Design. A product is designed totally on computer. Stage Two - Prototype Manufacture. Stage Three - The computer system controlling the plant works out the most efficient method of manufacture. Stage Four - The computer system orders the necessary materials to manufacture the product. Computer Integrated Manufacture - 2. Product Design Index Page. Mass Production Definition. Planning for Mass Production - Example. iPod Classic. Just-in-Time Production Definition.

Just-in-Time. Just-in-Time "Just-in-Time" means making "only what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed.

Just-in-Time

" For example, to efficiently produce a large number of automobiles, which can consist of around 30,000 parts, it is necessary to create a detailed production plan that includes parts procurement. Supplying "what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed" according to this production plan can eliminate waste, inconsistencies, and unreasonable requirements, resulting in improved productivity. Just In Time (JIT) Definition. The Kanban System. One-Off Production Definition. Cricket Bat Manufacturing by Andrew Kember of Salix. Cricket Bat Willow Cricket bat willow (salix alba, var. cærulea) is a cultivated timber which grows predominantly in large plantations in wetland areas throughout East Anglia.

Cricket Bat Manufacturing by Andrew Kember of Salix

Only English cricket bat willow is suitable for professional bat making, offering the properties necessary to produce a bat which is sufficiently light, yet fibrous enough to withstand pressing and ultimate use against a cricket ball. Since 1990, with the exception of occasionally felling our own trees, we have sourced all our clefts from two of the finest cricket bat willow specialists in England: JS Wright & Sons and GR Green. The best clefts derive from mature, well-tended trees.

Cricket bat willow is a crop which is specifically planted for the industry so skilled splitting and sawing are central to producing the best possible cuts of timber from the tree. Timber Grading For Salix grading of timber is an ongoing process throughout bat manufacture. Single Item / One Off Production. Batch Production Definition. Batch Production - Example.
