 Parts of Drilling Machine:

Drill Machine

There are the main parts of drilling machine has given below:

1. Base
2. Column
3. Table
4. Arm
5. Drill head
6. Spindle speed and Feed mechanism.


Base:


The base is that part of the machine on which the vertical column is mounted. The base is made of casting. A base supports the column and worktable with other attachments.
The top of the base is round column section type upright drilling machined and has T-slots on it so that large workpieces and work holding devices may be set up and bolted to it. The base of the machine could also be mounted on a bench or on the ground.

Column:

The Column is the vertical member of the machine which supports the table and the head containing all the driving mechanism. It is a cylindrical casting mounted vertically at one end of the base and supports the radial arm, which slides up and down.
An electric motor at the top of the column helps in the vertical adjustment of the arm by rotating a screw passing through a nut attached to the arm.

Table:

The table is mounted on the column and is given T-slots for clamping the work directly on its face. A table is round or rectangular in shape.


Arm:

It is mounted on the column and extends horizontally over the bottom. It has guideways on which drill head slides. The radial arm moves around the column.


Drill head:

It is mounted on the redial arm and drives the drill spindle. In a number of the drill machines, the drill head could also be adjusted up or down for accommodating different heights of the add addition to the table adjustment.
It encloses all the mechanism for driving the drill at a different speed and feeds. In lighter machines, the driving motor is mounted at the rear end of the head counterbalancing the weight of the drill spindle.


Spindle speed and feed mechanism:

The motor at the top of the drill head drives the horizontal spindle and the motion is transmitted to the drill head through a group of bevel gears. With another group of gears, different spindle speed and feed are obtained.
The main advantage of this type of drilling machine is that holes of variable sizes at any point and at any angles can be drilled on the large-sized workpiece without moving the workpiece.

Definition and Parts of a Vernier Caliper

-

Vernier Caliper and Its Parts:   Vernier Caliper Vernier Caliper: The vernier caliper is a measuring tool wont to get precise linear dimension measurements. A vernier micrometer is particularly useful to live the diameter of cylindrical objects as its jaws can clamp either side to urge accurate measurements. Main Parts of a Vernier caliper:   1. Upper Jaws or Inside Jaws   2. Lower Jaws or Outside Jaws 3. Depth Rod   4. Main Scale 5. Vernier Scale 6. Lock Screw 7. Thumb Screw 1. Upper Jaws or Inside Jaws: The upper jaws are smaller in size and are attached to the upper portion of the vernier micrometer. Similar to the lower jaws, one of these jaws is fixed and the other is movable. The difference between them and the lower jaws is that the upper jaws are used for measuring inside dimensions of hollow objects such as inside diameters of pipes, lengths and widths of boxes etc. The jaws are placed inside the place to be measured and then opened

Lathe Machine Operations

    Lathe Operations: 1.      Facing: It is an operation of reducing the length of the workpiece by feeding the perpendicular to the lathe axis. This operation of reducing a flat surface on the end of the workpiece. For this operation, regular turning tool or facing tool may use. The cutting edge of the tool should set to the same height as the centre of the workpiece. 2.      Turning: It is the most common type of operation in all lathe machine operations. Turning is the operation of removing the excess material from the workpiece to produce a cylindrical surface to the desired length. The job held between the centre or a chuck and rotating at a required speed. The tool moves in a longitudinal direction to give the feed towards the headstock with proper depth of cut. The surface finish is very good.    Ø Straight Turning: The workpiece is held on the chuck and it is made to rotate about the axis, and the tool is fed parallel to the lathe axis. The straight turning

Micrometer and it's main parts

Micrometer and It's Parts:  Micrometer   Micrometer: The micrometer may be a precision measuring system, employed by engineers. Each revolution of the rachet moves the spindle face 0.5mm towards the anvil face. The object to be measured is placed between the anvil face and the spindle face. The rachet is turned clockwise until the thing is ‘trapped’ between these two surfaces and therefore the rachet makes a ‘clicking’ noise. This means that the rachet can't be tightened anymore and therefore the measurement are often read.   Main Parts of Micrometer: 1.      Main Frame 2.      Zero adjusts screw 3.      Anvil 4.      Spindle 5.      Anvil Face and Spindle Face 6.      Lock Nut 7.      Sleeve 8.      Thimble 9.      Rachet 1.      Main Frame: It’s a c shaped frame as identified within the figure, may be a rigid part that has both holding points for employment or object to be measured. Its size depends on micrometer measuring range so
