Local Fabrication of Double Mobile Bench Press to Improve on Existing Fabricated Ones in Dental Technology Department
Abstract:
The aim of this research work is at investigating into the local fabrication of double mobile bench press to improve on existing fabricated ones in dental technology department. Hydraulic dental bench press is a unique equipment in dental technology laboratories, but majority of this bench press are imported into the country and this usually ends at high cost rate. This is a reason why the researchers embarked on this project. For the construction, two (2) expert engineers were involved. The methods used to extract information from the two (2) expert engineers were through verbal interview. This was done in order to ascertain the right materials and other information needed for the fabrication of double hydraulic dental bench press that would be improved and advanced on the existed ones. This double dental hydraulic bench press machine was developed successfully; and was thoroughly tested and contended with imported ones and was rated good. It is also rated to be advanced on the existed fabricated ones in the department. This double dental hydraulic bench press machine was fabricated using locally made materials. The machine is capable of performing double work at a go, whilst also being mobile. The cost of this locally fabricated hydraulic bench press machine is lesser than the cost of imported ones. The repairing of this product is possible with ease. Finally, the spare parts can be sourced within locality. Based on the results of this innovative work, the researchers recommend that this innovative research work should be published in international Journal in order to create more awareness on the locally made dental hydraulic bench press, this will promote the image of dental technology profession in Nigeria.
