    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

    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.

    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.
