Study Notes
Introduction to Machine Shop Trade
- Various divisions exist in the Machine Shop Trade, including types of machines, skills required, and shop categories.
- Machine shops are categorized into Job Shops, Limited-Production Shops, and Mass-Production Shops.
Job Shop
- A Job Shop is designed for specialized, limited quantity machining tasks, often for prototypes or unique repairs.
- Tasks may range from making single pieces to several dozen.
- Job Shops are frequently utilized for machinery repairs when manufacturers lack maintenance departments.
Limited-Production Shop
- Limited-Production Shops operate between Job Shops and Mass-Production Shops.
- These facilities produce identical parts in quantities from hundreds to thousands.
Technicians vs. Technologists
- Technicians possess practical technology understanding; technologists have comprehensive knowledge and are usually more educated.
- Technologists hold engineering degrees, while technicians generally have lower-level qualifications or diplomas.
- Technologists handle innovative ideas and complex tasks, whereas technicians focus on application and routine operations.
Skilled Trades Opportunities
- Machine Tool Operator: Operates a single machine or performs a few operations; relatively routine job.
- All-Around Machinists: Skilled in setting up and operating various machine tools; capable of reading prints and making adjustments.
- Tool-and-Die Makers: Highly skilled, responsible for designing, making, and repairing tools and dies used in manufacturing.
- Layout Men: Skilled machinists who prepare parts for machining by reading prints and transferring measurements.
- Setup Men: Prepare machines for operation, ensuring readiness for machine operators.
Material Properties
- Stainless steels contain 10-26% chromium; nickel is added for corrosion resistance.
- Tool-and-die steels maintain hardness at elevated temperatures and can cut effectively without dulling.
- Cast iron is economical, common in machine parts but brittle; types include white iron, gray iron, and malleable iron.
Machining Parameters
- Cutting speed is crucial; expressed as meters per minute or feet per minute, depending on machine type.
- Ideal cutting speeds vary based on material, tool type, and purpose.
- Depth of cut, feed, and cutting speed are essential for determining metal removal rates.
Feeding Types
- Sliding Feed: Occurs along the length of the workpiece.
- Surfacing Feed: Directed towards the center of the workpiece.
Metal Removal and Cutting Time
- Metal removal rate equals the volume of material removed divided by cutting time.
- Cutting time/operational time estimation involves feed rates and cut lengths.
Example Calculation Techniques
- Examples for calculating RPM, cutting speed, and depth of cut demonstrate practical application of machining principles.
- Formulas introduced include cutting speed and depth of cut measurements essential for effective practice in machining.
