Milling Machine Types.

 Types of Milling Machines:

1.      Column and knee type milling machine:

a)    Hand Miller

b)   Plain Milling Machine

                                                                   i.            Power Table Feed

                                                                ii.            Hand Table Feed

c)    Universal Milling Machine

d)   Ram-type universal

e)    Vertical milling machine

f)      Omniversal milling machine

2.    Planner-type milling machine:

3.    Fixed-bed type milling machine:

a)    Simplex milling machine

b)   Duplex milling machine

c)    Triplex milling machine

4.    Special types milling machine:

a)    Rotary table machine

b)   Drum milling machine

c)    Planetary milling machine

d)   Stationary long table machine

e)    Offset milling machine

f)      Pantograph milling machine

g)    Duplicator or profiling machine


The two main configurations of the milling machining operations are the kinds of milling machines. These are the vertical mill and therefore the horizontal mill. They’re further discussed below:

Vertical Milling Machines:

The vertical mill features a vertically arranged spindle axis and rotates by staying at an equivalent axis. The spindle also can be extended and performing functions like drilling and cutting. Vertical mill possesses two further categories as well: turret mill and bed mill.The turret mill possesses a table that moves perpendicularly and parallel to the spindle axis so as to chop the fabric. The spindle is, however, stationary. Two cutting methods are often performed with this by moving the knee and by lowering or raising the quill. The other is that the bed mill during which the table moves perpendicular to the axis of the spindle and therefore the spindle moves parallel to its axis.

Horizontal Milling Machines:

The horizontal mill is additionally the similar cutter but their cutters are placed on a horizontal arbor. Tons of horizontal mills have gotten rotary tables that help in milling in various angles. These tables are called the universal tables. Aside from this all the tools that are utilized in a vertical mill also can be utilized in the horizontal mill.

Definition and Parts of a Vernier Caliper

-
Image
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
