Machining Operations Flashcards
week 9 - 10
is machining good for mass production
no
Rotational Vs. Nonrotational (prismatic)
rotational: cylindrical or disk-like shape
nonrotational: block-like or plate-like shape
Further machine operation and part geometry classification
- Generating - part geometry determined by feed trajectory of cutting tool
- Forming - part geometry is created by the shape of the cutting tool
In generating Shape the __________ of the cutting tool determines the shape
moment
In forming the __________________ determines the shape
shape of the cutting tool
what machine is used for the turning operation
a lathe
flat turning /turning is
reducing the diameter (single-point cutting tool)
Lathe specification
1.size designation
- length of bed
- max distance b/t centers
- swing (max diameter that can be rotated on lathe)
2. max RPM
3. horse powe
bed of a basic lathe
– Foundation of the
lathe
– Supports all other
major components
– Top part has two
ways
head stock of a basic Lathe
- fixed
- mounted on the ways
- consists of
- hollow spindle
- bearings
-motors, pulley and belts or transmition gears to drive spindle
Carriage of basic lathe
Along with the apron—
provides the base for
mounting and moving
cutting tools
cross slide of basic lathe
Mounted to the carriage
and provides movement
for facing and cut-off
operations
Compound rest of basic lathe
- Mounted to the cross
slide. Can rotate for angle
cuts.
– the component that holds
the tool post for cutting
tools.
tail stock of basic lathe
- Supports the other end
of the workpiece - Lower portion of casting
fits inner ways - Can slide along the
ways
feed rod of basic lathe
provides forward and reverse motion for carriage and cross slide
lead screw for basic lathe
– Used for threading
purposes.
– Engages with the
half-nut to provide
correct feed for
specific lead of
thread.
4 methods of holding the work peice in lathe
- holding the work between center
- chuck
- collet
- face plate
holding the work between two centers
- one in head stock called dog
- stock-cone shaped point (live center turns and doesnt have heat, dead center does not turn and produces heat
when is holding the work between centers used
when part has large length to diameter ratio
holding work peice using chuck
- quick and easy to hold work peice
- 3 jaws for circle, 4 for square or multi for other shapes
- dont need a tail stock to use
when are chucks used
for parts with low length to diameter ratio - no tail stock
work holding collets
- holding device has to match size (custom design)
- better than chucks bc more accuracy and holding power
work holding face plate
- hold parts with irregular shapes
- custom designed
Types of Lathes (turning machines)
- Engine
- Toolroom (small, more acurate)
- Turret ~ cutting tool moved quickly manually
- Automatic (chucking) ~ same as turret
- Automatic bar machines ~instead of chuck a cullet is used
- screw machine - make screws
- multiple screws - makes multiple tools
basic hole making processes acount for approx _________
50- 60 % of all metal removal processes
what does the flute of a drill do
- allow coolant to flow to the cutting-edge
- move chips from cut zone
3 main components of a drill bit
- Shank
– Body
– Point
