Process of Milling

 Milling Processes:

1. Plain/Slab Milling
2. Face/End milling
3. Slot milling/slotting
4. Slitting
5. Angular milling
6. Straddle milling
7. Gang milling
8. Gear tooth milling
9. Sprocket milling
10. Spline milling
11. Groove milling
12. Corner rounding
13. Key seat milling
14. Spiral milling
15. Thread milling

Plain Milling:

 The plain milling is that the commonest sorts of miller operations. Plain milling is performed to produce a plain, flat, horizontal surface parallel to the axis of rotation of a plain milling cutter. The operation is also known as slab milling. To perform the operation, the work and therefore the cutter are secured properly on the machine. The depth of cut is set by rotating the vertical feed screw of the table. And the machine is started after selecting the right speed and feed.

Face Milling:

The face milling is that the simplest miller operations. This operation is performed by a face milling cutter rotated about an axis perpendicular to the work surface. The operation is carried in plain milling, and therefore the cutter is mounted on a stub arbor to style a flat surface. The depth of cut is adjusted by rotating the crossfeed screw of the table.

Side Milling:

The side milling is the operation of producing a flat vertical surface on the side of a workpiece by using a side milling cutter. The depth of cut is set by rotating the vertical feed screw of the table.

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
