Differentiate different kinds of Milling Machine. 3. Enumerate the process involve in milling. 4. Familiarize with the different parts of a Milling Machine. II. THEORIES / PRINCIPLES History of Milling Machine and Milling Process A milling machine is a wheel-cutting machine, dating from the 1700s and used by clockmakers, were the precursors of industrial milling machines. Although it is unclear who invented the first actual milling machine–a device similar to the lathe that features a rotating cutting tool rather than a rotating work piece–evidence supports its existence by 1818 in the United States. Eli Whitney is most often mentioned as the first to design and construct a milling machine that was dependable and which served as a prototype for later, improved cutting machines. Whitney produced the machine, along with several others, with an eye toward originating mass production of gun parts. In 1798 he contracted with the federal government to produce a large order of muskets. All guns, at the time, were hand-crafted, and so gun parts were not interchangeable. Whitney remedied this with his construction of a semi-automated, machine tool factory. In 1867, American engineer Joseph R. Brown (1805-1870) introduced his universal milling machine at the Paris Exhibition. Brown’s machine arose following the testing in 1861 of one designed to solve the problem of producing spiral flutes for twist drills. This machine proved amazingly versatile, and led to Brown’s significant addition in 1864 of a formed cutter. Ever since, milling machines have vied with lathes as the most employed industrial machine tool. Their high adaptability is demonstrated by the numerous cutting jobs they perform, including flat surfaces, grooves, shoulders, inclined surfaces, slots, and dovetails. A turret milling machine is an example of a miller used in conjunction with a related machine tool, the drill. Another specialized miller is the hobbing machine, used to make gears. Perhaps the milling machine’s greatest distinction is that in 1954 it became the first machine tool to be controlled numerically, thereby representing one of the greatest industrial advances of the twentieth century. Process of Milling The time required to produce a given quantity of parts includes the initial setup time and the cycle time for each part. The setup time is composed of the time to setup the milling machine, plan the tool movements (whether performed manually or by machine), and install the fixture device into the milling machine. The cycle time can be divided into the following four times: This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. Load/Unload time - The time required to load the workpiece into the milling machine and secure it to the fixture, as well as the time to unload the finished part. Cut time - The time required for the cutter to make all the necessary cuts in the workpiece for each operation. The cut time for any given operation is calculated by dividing the total cut length for that operation by the feed rate, which is the speed of the cutter relative to the workpiece. Idle time - Also referred to as non-productive time, this is the time required for any tasks that occur during the process cycle that do not engage the workpiece and therefore remove material. Tool replacement time - The time required to replace a tool that has exceeded its lifetime and therefore become to worn to cut effectively. In determining the cycle time, the tool replacement time is adjusted for the production of a single part by multiplying by the frequency of a tool replacement, which is the cut time divided by the tool lifetime. Following the milling process cycle, there is no post processing that is required. However, secondary processes may be used to improve the surface finish of the part if it is required. The scrap material, in the form of small material chips cut from the workpiece, is propelled away from the workpiece by the motion of the cutter and the spraying of lubricant. Therefore, no process cycle step is required to remove the scrap material, which can be collected and discarded after the production. Cutting Parameters In milling, the speed and motion of the cutting tool is specified through several parameters. These parameters are selected for each operation based upon the workpiece material, tool material, tool size, and more. Cutting Feed - The distance that the cutting tool or workpiece advances during one revolution of the spindle and tool, measured in inches per revolution (IPR). For a multi-point tool, the cutting feed is also equal to the feed per tooth, measured in inches per tooth (IPT), multiplied by the number of teeth on the cutting tool. Cutting Speed - The speed of the workpiece surface relative to the edge of the cutting tool during a cut, measured in surface feet per minute (SFM). Spindle Speed - The rotational speed of the spindle and tool in revolutions per minute (RPM). The spindle speed is equal to the cutting speed divided by the circumference of the tool. Feed Rate - The speed of the cutting tool's movement relative to the workpiece as the tool makes a cut. The feed rate is measured in inches per minute (IPM) and is the product of the cutting feed (IPR) and the spindle speed (RPM). Axial Depth Of Cut - The depth of the tool along its axis in the workpiece as it makes a cut. A large axial depth of cut will require a low feed rate, or else it will result in a high load on the tool and reduce the tool life. Radial Depth Of Cut - The depth of the tool along its radius in the workpiece as it makes a cut. If the radial depth of cut is less than the tool radius, the tool is only partially engaged and is making a peripheral cut. If the radial depth of cut is equal to the tool diameter, the cutting tool is fully engaged and is making a slot cut. A large radial depth of cut will require a low feed rate, or else it will result in a high load on the tool and reduce the tool life. Operations This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. During the process cycle, a variety of operations may be performed to the workpiece to yield the desired part shape. The following operations are each defined by the type of cutter used and the path of that cutter to remove material from the workpiece. End milling - An end mill makes either peripheral or slot cuts, determined by the step-over distance, across the workpiece in order to machine a specified feature, such as a profile, slot, pocket, or even a complex surface contour. Chamfer Milling - A chamfer end mill makes a peripheral cut along an edge of the workpiece or a feature to create an angled surface, known as a chamfer Chamfer - 45° angle that can be machined on either the exterior or interior of a part— either straight or curved path Face Milling - A face mill machines a flat surface of the workpiece in order to provide a smooth finish. Drilling - A drill enters the workpiece axially and cuts a hole with a diameter equal to that of the tool. Boring - A boring tool enters the workpiece axially and cuts along an internal surface to form different features. Boring is commonly performed after drilling a hole in order to enlarge the diameter or obtain more precise dimensions. Counterboring - An counterbore tool enters the workpiece axially and enlarges the top portion of an existing hole to the diameter of the tool. Countersinking - A countersink tool enters the workpiece axially and enlarges the top portion of an existing hole to a cone-shaped opening. Common included angles for a countersink = 60°, 82°, 90°, 100°, 118°, & 120° Reaming - A reamer enters the workpiece axially and enlarges an existing hole to the diameter of the tool. Reaming removes a minimal amount of material and is often performed after drilling to obtain both a more accurate diameter and a smoother internal finish. Tapping - A tap enters the workpiece axially and cuts internal threads into an existing hole. The existing hole is typically drilled by the required tap drill size that will accommodate the desired tap. Threads may be cut to a specified depth inside the hole (bottom tap) or the complete depth of a through hole (through tap). Different Types of Milling Machine A. Column and Knee Type most used type of milling machine, where the table is mounted on the knee- casting which in turn is mounted on the vertical slides of the main column. 1. Hand Milling Machine - the simplest of all types of milling machine in which table feeding is controlled by hand. - The cutter is mounted on a horizontal arbour and is rotated by power. - small in size and suitable for light and simple milling operations. 2. Plain Milling Machine - much stronger than hand millers. - the table feeding is done either by hand or power - the plain milling machine having a horizontal spindle is also called as a horizontal spindle milling machine. Feed: Longitudinal – when the table is moved at right angles to the spindle. This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. Cross – when the table is moved parallel to the spindle. Vertical – when the table is adjusted in the vertical plane. 3. Universal Milling Machine - it can be adapted to a wide range of milling operations. - the table can be swiveled to any angle up to 45° on either side of the normal position. Helical milling operation can also be performed by having the table fed at an angle to the milling cutter. The capacity of this type of machine is increased by using special attachments such as: Dividing head or Rotary attachment index head Slotting Vertical milling attachment attachment This machine can produce spur, bevel, spiral, twist drill, reamer, milling cutter. All operations that are performed on a shaper can be done using a universal milling machine. 4. Ominversal Milling Machine - also has four movements of the universal milling machine - It can also be tilted in a vertical plane by providing a swivel arrangement at the knee. 5. Vertical Milling Machine - the position of the spindle is vertical or perpendicular to the table - adapted for machining grooves, slots, and flat surfaces - may be of the plain or universal type - spindle head is clamped to the vertical column which is swivelled at an angle B. Manufacturing or Fixed Bed Type Milling Machine these machines are large, heavy and rigid in construction differ from column and knee type milling machines by the construction of its table mounting table is mounted directly on the ways of a fixed bed classified as: This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.

MILLING MACHINE PROCESSES (Activity No.3)…………………………………. I. EXPECTED COMPETENCIES………………………………… The student should be able to: 1. Know the different cutting arrangement in milling. 2. Know the different set up in cutting. 3. Mount and set the work piece on the table. 4. Know the correct speed, direction and feeding using milling. II. THEORIES / PRINCIPLES………………………………… MILLING MACHINE PROCESSES 1. Up Milling - also known as conventional milling - the cutter rotates against direction of feed - chip width size is zero at initial cut and increase with feed - it is maximum at the end of feed - in this process, heat is diffuse to the work piece which causes the change in metal properties - tool wear is more because the tool runs against the feed - the cutting chips are carried upward by the tool - the cutting chips fall down in front of the cutting tool which again cut the chips cause less surface finish - due to upward force by tool, high strength zig and fixture required to hold the work piece - high quality cutting fluid is required because heat diffuse in the work piece - it required high cutting force compare to down milling 2. Down Milling - also known as climb milling - the cutter rotates with direction of feed - in this cutting process, chip size is maximum at start of cut and decrease with the feed - most of heat diffuse to the chip does not change the work piece properties - tool wear is less compare to the up milling, due to the cutter rotate with the feed - the chips are carried downward by the tool - the cutting chips fall down behind the tool, this gives better surface finish - downward force act on work piece normal jig and fixture required - heat does not diffuse in the work piece, so simple cutting fluid is required This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. Figure 42: Difference Between Up and Down Milling 3. Straddle Milling - two or more parallel vertical surfaces are machined at a single cut operation - accomplished by mounting two side milling cutters on the same arbor, set apart at an exact spacing - two sides of the workpiece are machined simultaneously and final width dimensions are exactly controlled - the workpiece is usually mounted between centers in the indexing fixture or mounted vertically in a swivel vise - the two side milling cutters are separated by spacers, washers, and shims so that the distance between the cutting teeth of each cutter is exactly equal to the width of the workpiece area required - when cutting a square by this method, two opposite sides of the square are cut, and then the spindle of the indexing fixture or the swivel vise is rotated 90°, and the other two sides of the workpiece are straddle milled Figure 43: Straddle Milling Set Up 4. Gang Milling - simultaneous machining of a number of flat horizontal and vertical surfaces of a workpiece by using a combination of more than two cutters mounted on a common arbor. This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. - may involve 2 or more milling operation used for mass production. - differs with straddle milling because it can cut surfaces other than that of parallel. Figure 44: Gang Milling Set U 5. Face Milling - the milling of surfaces that are perpendicular to the cutter axis - produces flat surfaces and machines work to the required length - the feed can be either horizontal or vertical - the teeth on the periphery of the cutter do practically all of the cutting - when the cutter is properly ground, the face teeth actually remove a small amount of stock which is left as a result of the springing of the workpiece or cutter, thereby producing a finer finish - the workpiece may be clamped to the table or angle plate or supported in a vise, fixture, or jig - Large surfaces are generally face milled on a vertical milling machine with the workpiece clamped directly to the milling machine table to simplify handling and clamping operations. 6. Peripheral milling - contrast to face milling - is a machining process in which the milling cutter is placed parallel to the workpiece. - the milling cutter is positioned so that the sides of the cutter grind away at the top of the workpiece. - more effective at removing large amount or bigger depth of cuts from workpieces because it uses the sides of the milling cutter rather than the tip. This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. Figure 45: (a)Peripheral Milling and (b) Face Milling 7. End Milling - fluted cutting edges are arranged on the circumference and end of a rotating shaft that is vertical to the workpiece. - the cutting teeth are found on the end of the cutter and the circumference of the cutter body. - similar to that of face milling but it is used for smaller diameter or a formed cut that depend on the shape of the end mill used. Figure 46: End Milling 8. Gear Milling - one of the different types of form milling process - is a multi point machining process in which individual tooth spacing are created by a rotating multi edge cutter having a cross-section similar to that of the generated teeth (involute) This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. - after cutting each space, the gear is returned to its original position, and the gear blank is indexed for the next cut Figure 47: Gear Milling Set Up III.

SLAB MILLING (Activity No. 4)…………………………………. I. EXPECTED COMPETENCIES………………………………… The student should be able to: 1. Set the cutting tool with respect to the workpiece 2. Manipulate and control the table, cross and vertical feed efficiently II. THEORIES / PRINCIPLES………………………………… SLAB MILLING Cutting of metal and forming it to its useful shape is performed in various ways. But to accurately and precisely cut the metal for a specific industrial use will be done using machine tools. Machinist should be able to learn these skills set in order for him to accurately and precisely cut a workpiece. 1. Workpiece Set Up Workpiece or work must be accurately and firmly place in the milling table. For this to happen work should be held and place using the following techniques. a. Using Spirit Level Using spirit level to ensure flatness of the work may come handy in setting up the workpiece. This is usually done in cutting not so dimension critical works. b. Using Dial Test Indicator Dial Test Indicator plays a vital factor for a successful machining process. To ensure the dimension of the flatness, straightness and correct position of the workpiece in the table dial test indicator plays the very important role in doing the work. Figure 53 shows example in doing that. Figure 53: Dial Test Indicator Used in Setting Up the Work This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. After the work is in place the machinist will fasten it to the table using available method. Using a jig or fixture will also be needed. 2. Cutting Tool Set Up In order to accurately cut the workpiece, a machinist must be able to identify and visualize first the cutting axis and must set the origin as the basis of the cut being made. Figure 54 shows the cutting axis represented by x as the table traverse, y as the cross feed and z as the vertical feed. The intersection of the 3 axis is the origin. Cutting tool Origin of workpiece Workpiece Figure 54: Axis and origin of the workpice To synchronize the origin of the tool and the workpiece, the machinist should be able to locate the zero position for the 3 axis. The tool must be just in touch with the workpiece or its surface must be tangent to the axis being set. There are several ways of doing it. Machinist may use the following methods: a. Cutter and paper or feeler or gage block technique The idea is to approach the part with the endmill and use a spacer of some kind so the endmill doesn’t actually contact the part. Common spacers include a piece of paper, a feeler gage, or a gage block. Except in the case of the paper, you will want the spindle to be stationary for this method. These methods are not so precise and the oldest method in setting up the tool. b. Edge Finder To use this method, put your part in the milling vise or fixture. You’re typically going to make the corner part zero. So, part zero sits in space rather than actually being on the part. This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION. Edge Finders come in many varieties, but we’ll group them into mechanical and electrical categories. Electrical edge finders light up and/or beep when they come into contact with the workpiece. They rely on the workpiece to be electrically conductive so a circuit is closed when the edgefinder touches the workpiece. Here is a typical electrical edge finder. Figure 55: Electrical Edge Finder c. Dial Test Indicator Pre Setter Using these method the tool will be in contact with the pre setter attached on the workpiece, the dial test indicator will show the tolerance or the part zero being set. Figure 56: Dial Test Indicator Pre Setter With the methods presented, the outcome should be seen in the Figures 57, 58 and 59. It shows the synchronized the origin of x, y and z axis respectively.
