Schematic Diagram of a Machining Centre | Machines | Engineering

Machining centres are the most versatile machinery, NC controlled, multifunction, tool changer equipped horizontal or vertical spindle machines. NC Machining centres being faster and more accurate are replacing many-single-purpose machines. Structural elements of machining centres are of cast iron so as to provide excellent vibration dampening and rigidity. Axis slide ways are of rectangular cross-section, hardened and finish ground in [...]

Thermal Aspects of Metal Machining | Metals | Industries | Metallurgy

Considerable heat is generated at the cutting edge of the tool due to friction between tool and work, and the plastic shearing of metal in the form of chips, when the tool is machining metal on a machine tool. The heat is evolved at three zones. A, B and C shown in Fig. 22.27. In zone A (shear zone), maximum [...]

Economics of Machining | Machine Tools | Industrial Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the economics of machining. It is not sufficient to devise a feasible procedure for a desired component or commodity. The procedure must be economically justified. The variables affecting the economics of a machining operation are numerous which include the tool material, machine tool capacity and the cutting conditions. As these variables are readily [...]

Machined Surfaces: Roughness & Accuracy | Industries | Metallurgy

Surface Roughness: The quality of surface is often of utmost importance for the correct functioning of many machine parts. For moving surfaces (running or sliding fit) the finish affects both friction and wear whether they are lubricated or not. In the case of locating surfaces, the finish also affects transition and interference fits, for, if the surfaces are rough, the [...]

Wire-Cut EDM: Meaning and Features | Methods | Machining | Engineering

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Wire-Cut EDM 2. Features of Wire-Cut EDM 3. Spark Machining. Meaning of Wire-Cut EDM: The wire-cut EDM uses a very thin wire 0.02 to 0.3 mm in diameter as an electrode and machines a workpiece with electrical discharge like a bandsaw by moving either the workpiece or wire. Erosion of [...]

Structure of ECM Machine | Machining | Industrial Engineering

The typical ECM machine consists of a table for mounting the workpiece. The tool is mounted on a quill fixed on a ram. Vertical box frame structure has excellent rigidity required and is best suited for precision work. Vertical C-frame structure has less rigidity but offers greater accessibility to the workpiece and tooling. The machine base, worktable and all other [...]

Plasma Arc Machining (PAM) | Methods | Machining | Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the meaning and characteristics of Plasma Arc Machining (PAM) in industries. Meaning of Plasma Arc Machining (PAM): When a flowing gas is heated to a sufficiently high temperature of the order of 16,500°C to become partially ionised, it is known as 'plasma'. In this process heat for machining is produced by convection from [...]
