Turning And Hole Making Flashcards
Common lathe cutting operations
Turning
Facing
Cutting with form tool
Boring
Drilling
Cutting off
Threading
Knurling
Factors involved in turning operations
-Workpiece and tool material
-surface finish and dimensional accuracy
-characteristic of machine tool
Tool geometry
- Rake angle improve cutting operations by reducing force and temp but result in small included angle of tool tip
- too high relief angle = tip likely to chip off
- too low relief angle = more flank wear
- cutting edge affect chip, strength and cutting force
- nose radius affect surface finish and tool tip strength
- ## smaller nose radius, rough surface, low strength. Large nose radius lead to tool chatter
Material removal rate
A = f*d
A is x sectional area
f is distance tool travel per revolution
d is depht of cut
MMR/rev = A* travel = pi * Davg* f*d
Travel is average circum
D is avg diameter = (D0+ Df)/2
MMR and rotational spd
Rotational spd of workpiece = n
MMR = piDfdn =dfv
Tool travel rate = f*n
Cutting time, t= l/fN
Force in turning
Cutting focre
Thrust force
Radial force
Turning formula
Surface spd V = pi D n (ori for max)
Feed f = mm/rev or rpm/mm per min
P= uMRR (u is specific energy)
Torque = p/w (w=2piN)
Fc = 2 torque/Davg
Lathe component
- Bed - support all major components
- Carriage - an assembly of cross slide, tool post and apron
-Cross slide - moves radially in and out
-Tool post - with a compound rest that swivel for tool positioning and adjustment
-Apron - allow manual and mechanized movement of carriage and cross slide - Headstock - have hollow spindle that allow workholding to be attached. Bars or tubing can be fed to be undergo turning operations
- Tailstock - equiped with center that can be fixed or free to rotate with workpiece. Drill can be attach to drill axially into workpiece. Quill - cylindrical part with tapered hole.
- Feed rod and lead screw - rotates during lathe operations and moves the carriage and cross slide.
Lathe specification
Swing (diameter of workpiece)
Distance between centers (Headstock to tailstock)
Length of bed
Lathe Workholding device (Chucks)
Have 3-4 jaws (3 for round 4 for block/odd shape/heavy stuff)
3 are geared scroll and 4 are independent chuck. Jaw can be reversed.
Chucks selection factor
- Type/spd of op
- Workpiece size
- Production and accuracy requirements
- Jaw force requirement
Lathe Workholding Device (collet)
Alternative to chuck.
Longitudinally split tapered brush
Tapered surface shrinks radially and tighten the workpiece
Advantage - grip entire circumference, best for part with small cross section
Lathe Workholding device (face plate)
Clamp irregular shaped workpiece. Have holes allowing workpiece to be bolted/clamped
Lathe Workholding device (Mandrel)
Can be placed inside hollow/tubular workpiece. Allow both cylindrical and end faces to be machined. Only cylindrical surface.
Lathe support
Theres steady rest and follow rest. Prevent part deflection from cutting force. Steady rest directly clamp directly on the ways of the lathe, follow rest clamped on the carriage and travel with it.
