Two successful workshops were recently held in the P&O
Engineering Department at the company. Engineer Jassim Mohammed provided a
detailed explanation of the 743A220 PROS.A. Assembly device and its uses in
assembling industrial limb parts, whether below or above the knee, and creating
ideal interfaces between interconnected parts using official measurements
prescribed by the manufacturer. This device makes the walking cycle smoother
and less strenuous for patients while reducing errors resulting from imprecise
work.
In the second workshop, Engineer Noor delivered a lecture on
the "water bath" device and conducted a practical manufacturing
experiment for a finger support. Engineer Noor Basim explained the
manufacturing steps and their practical application, highlighting the
importance of the device and how it can be used more effectively in the future
in the field of upper support manufacturing. The device is made of
corrosion-resistant steel and operates on the principle of heating water for
molding and shaping a piece of fusible plastic material. The piece is designed
and drawn based on the patient's condition, and after heating, it is extracted
and directly molded on the hand. Subsequently, the focus is on completing the
manufacturing process and taking care of the aesthetic and functional aspects
of the supports.
The workshops demonstrated their ability to transfer
knowledge and teach the necessary skills for accurately assembling industrial
limbs and manufacturing high-quality upper supports with excellence.
