DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN CAPSTAN AND TURRET LATHE

DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN CAPSTAN AND TURRET LATHE


TURRET LATHE
CAPSTAN LATHE
1. Turret tool head is directly fitted on the saddle and both of them appear like one unit.
1. Turret head is mounted on a slide called ram which is mounted on the saddle
2. Saddle is moved to provide feed to the tool.
2. To provide feed to the tool, saddle is locked at a particular point and the ram is moved.
3. It is difficult to move the saddle for feed.
3. It is easy to move the ram for feed.
4. As the saddle can be moved along the entire length of the bed, it is suitable for longer workpieces.
4. As the movement of the ram is limited, it is suitable for machining shorter workpieces only.
5. To index the turret tool head, a clamping lever is released and the turret is rotated manually.
5. When the handwheel for the ram is reversed, the turret tool head is indexed automatically.
6. Limit dogs are used to control the distance of tool movement.
6. To control the distance of tool movement, feed stop screws are provided at the rear side of the turret.
7. Some turret lathes have the facility of moving the turret at right angles to the lathe axis.
7. No such facility.
8. Heavy 
8. Lighter in construction.
9. Suitable for machining heavy and large workpieces.
9. Only small and light workpieces are machined.
10. Machining can be done by providing more depth of cut and feed.
10. Only limited amount of feed and depth of cut are provided for machining.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS - DRAFT OR TAPER ALLOWANCE

DRAFT OR TAPER ALLOWANCE BY DRAFT IS MEANT THE TAPER PROVIDED BY THE PATTERN MAKER ON ALL VERTICAL SURFACES OF THE PATTERN SO THAT IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE SAND WITHOUT TEARING AWAY THE SIDES OF THE SAND MOLD AND WITHOUT EXCESSIVE RAPPING BY THE MOLDER. FIGURE  SHOWS A PATTERN HAVING NO DRAFT ALLOWANCE BEING REMOVED FROM THE PATTERN. IN THIS CASE, TILL THE PATTERN IS COMPLETELY LIFTED OUT, ITS SIDES WILL REMAIN IN CONTACT WITH THE WALLS OF THE MOLD, THUS TENDING TO BREAK IT.  FIGURE  IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF A PATTERN HAVING PROPER DRAFT ALLOWANCE. HERE, THE MOMENT THE PATTERN LIFTING COMMENCES, ALL OF ITS SURFACES ARE WELL AWAY FROM THE SAND SURFACE. THUS THE PATTERN CAN BE REMOVED WITHOUT DAMAGING THE MOLD CAVITY.  PATTERN HAVING DRAFT ON VERTICAL EDGES DRAFT ALLOWANCE VARIES WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SAND JOB. BUT IN GENERAL INNER DETAILS OF THE PATTERN REQUIRE HIGHER DRAFT THAN OUTER SURFACES. THE AMOUNT OF DRAFT DEPENDS UPON THE LENGTH OF THE...

ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING (ECM)

ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING (ECM) INTRODUCTION:- Electro chemical machining (ECM) is a method of removing metal by an electrochemical process. It is normally used for mass production and is used for working extremely hard materials or materials that are difficult to machine using conventional methods. Its use is limited to electrically conductive materials; however, this includes all metals. ECM can cut small or odd-shaped angles, intricate contours or cavities in extremely hard steel and exotic metals such as titanium, carbide etc. ECM is often characterized as "reverse electroplating," and is similar in concept to electrical discharge machining in that a high current is passed between an electrode and the part, through an electrolyte material removal process having a negatively charged electrode (cathode), a conductive fluid (electrolyte), and a conductive work piece (anode); however, in ECM there is no tool wear. The ECM cutting tool is guided along the desired ...
