Study Notes
Manufacturing Technology 1 (MEC 112) - Turning
- Turning operations remove metal from a job to shape and size it.
- The job is held securely and rigidly in a chuck or between centers on a lathe machine.
- The cutting tool removes the metal in the form of chips.
Working Principle of Lathe Machine
- The lathe machine's principle of operation is common across all types.
- Key components include a headstock, work, and tailstock, with the tool positioned to remove material.
Types of Lathes
- Speed Lathes are the simplest type, used for low-force applications like wood working, centering, or polishing.
- Center Lathes or Engine Lathes are the most common and widely used for various metalworking operations.
- Bench Lathes are smaller lathes commonly used for precision work.
- Tool Room Lathes are highly accurate lathes used primarily for precision work on tools, dies, gauges etc.
- Capstan and Turret Lathes are designed for mass production and facilitate multiple operations on the same job without frequent tool changes.
Woodworking Lathe
- A dedicated lathe specifically designed for woodworking.
Center Lathe or Engine Lathe
- This lathe has a robust headstock and mechanism for multiple speeds
- Features feed mechanisms to allow for both longitudinally and cross feed
Bench Lathe
- A smaller lathe primarily used for precision and small jobs.
Tool Room Lathe
- A highly accurate machine designed specifically for machining tasks requiring higher precision, like tools, dies, gauges, etc
Capstan and Turret Lathes
- These lathes feature hexagonal turrets to fit multiple tools for varied operations, streamlining mass production.
Facing Lathes
- Designed for machining large diameter, short-length workpieces, making both external and internal surfaces.
Vertical Turning and Boring Machines
- Utilized for working on heavy parts with large diameters and relatively short lengths suitable for facing, drilling, boring, surfacing and similar work.
Special Purpose Lathes
- Designed for specific tasks and cannot be easily adapted for general-purpose turning operations.
Automatic Lathes
- Highly automated with automatic control over all job handling operations, suited for high-volume, mass production.
Lathe Construction
- The bed is a crucial grey cast iron base for all other lathe parts.
- Essential parts like headstocks, tailstocks, and carriages are mounted on the bed.
- Feed and thread cutting mechanisms are also present.
Lathe Accessories
- Centers, catch plates, carriers, chucks, mandrels, face plates, angle plates, and rests.
- These accessories help with clamping, supporting, or holding the workpiece and tools during different machining processes.
Lathe Tools
- Various tools cater to different operations (turning, threading, boring, etc.).
High Speed Steel (HSS) Tools
- Tools tailored for high-speed machining applications.
Lathe Operations
- Includes detailed operations with specific examples (turning, facing, boring, drilling, threading etc.).
Machining Time—Standard Time
- Standard time is based on chip removal operations that can be determined without direct operator intervention.
Machining Time for Turning
- The theoretical methods involved in calculating machining time for turning a bar with a specific feed rate and rotational speed.
Taper Turning Methods
- Methods for producing tapered workpieces,
- Tapering by swiveling the compound rest
- The various attachments method for tapering the work
- Tapering with Tailstock.
Form Tool Method
- Description of this approach for tapering.
Taper Turning with Double Feeds
- Turning using combined feeds for producing tapers.
###Specification of Lathe
- The size constraints and technical specifications for various lathe types including maximum stroke, diameter, feed etc.
###Power consumed in Machining Operations
- The power required for machining operation is calculated based on specific cutting pressure and metal removal rate.
