Q

Tool geometry

A
    • 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

Q

Material removal rate

A

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

Q

Lathe component

A
  1. Bed - support all major components
  2. 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
  3. Headstock - have hollow spindle that allow workholding to be attached. Bars or tubing can be fed to be undergo turning operations
  4. 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.
  5. Feed rod and lead screw - rotates during lathe operations and moves the carriage and cross slide.

Q

Lathe Workholding Device (collet)

A

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

Q

Lathe support

A

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.

Q

Boring/drilling (lathe operations)

A

Drilling - workpiece is clamp in workholder whereas drill bit is clamped on the tailstock where it advanced toward the workpiece.
Boring can be performed in the drilled hole to be improved.

17
Q

Type of lathe

A

Special purpose lathe
Tracer lathe
Automatic lathe
Automatic bar machine
Turret lathe
CNC lathe

18
Q

Turret lathe

A

Can do multiple operation
Several cutting tool mouted on hexogonal main turret which rotate for each specific operation

19
Q

CNC lathe

A

Equipped with ATC, automatic tool changer. Reliable in repetitive op maintaining dimension accuracy and require less skilled labor .

20
Q

Factor for Surface finish and dimension accuracy during turning op

A
  1. Characteristics and conditions of machine tool
  2. Stiffness
  3. Vibration and chatter
  4. Process parameters
  5. Tool geometry and wear
  6. Cutting fluids
  7. Machinability of workpiece material
  8. Operator skill.
21
Q

Design consideration before turning op

A
  1. Part should be designed so they can be fixtured and clamped in workholding with ease.
  2. Dimensions accuracy and surface finish should be as wide as possible
  3. Avoid sharp corner, tapers and major dimensional variation
  4. Blanks should be as close to final dimensions as possible.
  5. Part design should allow cutting tool to travel along workpiece smoothly
  6. Use available standard cutting tool
  7. Material chosen according to machinability.
22
Q

Guideline for turning operations

A
  1. Minimize tool overhang (minimize vibration)
  2. Support workpiece rigidly
  3. Use machine tools with high stiffness/high damping capacity
  4. If tool begins to chatter, modify one of the process parameters.
23
Q

Troubleshoot for turning process

A

Tool breakage - tool material toughness, tool angle, tool stiffness, worn bearing/components, machine parameter too high.

Tool wear - machining parameter too high, improper tool material, cutting fluid, improper tool angle.

Rough s f - build up edge on tool, feed too high, tool too sharp, chipped or worn, vibration/chatter.

Dimensional variability - machine/workholding stiffness, temp, tool wear

Tool chatter - lack of stiffness of machine tool/workholding, excessive tool overhang, improper parameter

24
Q

Screw nomenclature

A

Refer to pg56 chp 23.

25
Q

Design considerations for screw threading

A
  1. Undercut termination before shoulder.
    2.chamfer at the ends
  2. Thread section should not be interrupted with slots, holes.
  3. Use standard thread inserts
  4. Min engage length of fastener should be 1.5x its diameter
  5. All cutting op in one setup
26
Q

Type of drill

A

Space drill, straight flute drill, drill wtig indexable carbide inserts, drill with brazed carbide tip, gun drill, trepanning.

27
Q

Troubleshoot for drilling

A

Drill breakage - dull drill, drill seizing cuz by chips clogs in flutes, feed too high, lip relief angle too small.
Excessive drill wear - cutting spd too high, fluid, too high rake angle, drill burned/strength loss from sharpening.
Tapered hole - drill misalignment/bent, lips not equal, web not central.

Oversized hole - same as above, loose machine spindle, side force in workpiece.

Poor hole surface finish - dull drill, fluid, improper alignment, improper ground drill
