HORIZONTAL MILLING MACHINE AND ITS PARTS


BLOCK DIAGRAM OF A HORIZONTAL MILLING MACHINE AND ITS VARIOUS PARTS




PARTS OF HORIZONTAL MILLING MACHINE :-

1. Base: It gives support and rigidity to the machine and also acts as a reservoir for the cutting fluids.
2. Column: The column is the main supporting frame mounted vertically on the base. The column is box shaped, heavily ribbed inside and houses all the driving mechanisms for the spindle and table feed.

3. Knee: The knee is a rigid casting mounted on the front face of the column. The knee moves vertically along the guide ways and this movement enables to adjust the distance between the cutter and the job mounted on the table. The adjustment is obtained manually or automatically by operating the elevating screw provided below the knee.

4. Saddle: The saddle rests on the knee and constitutes the intermediate part between the knee and the table. The saddle moves transversely, i.e., crosswise (in or out) on guide ways provided on the knee.

5. Table: The table rests on guide ways in the saddle and provides support to the work. The table is made of cast iron, its top surface is accurately machined and carriers T-slots which accommodate the clamping bolt for fixing the work. The worktable and hence the job fitted on it is given motions in three directions:
a). Vertical (up and down) movement provided by raising or lowering the knee.
b). Cross (in or out) or transverse motion provided by moving the saddle in relation to knee.
c). Longitudinal (back and forth) motion provided by hand wheel fitted on the side of feed screw.
In addition to the above motions, the table of a universal milling machine can be swiveled 45° to either side of the centre line and thus fed at an angle to the spindle.

6. Over arm: The Over arm is mounted at the top of the column and is guided in perfect alignment by the machined surfaces. The Over arm is the support for the arbor.

7. Arbor support: The arbor support is fitted to the Over arm and can be clamped at any location on the Over arm. Its function is to align and support various arbors. The arbor is a machined shaft that holds and drives the cutters.

8. Elevating screw: The upward and downward movement to the knee and the table is given by the elevating screw that is operated by hand or an automatic feed.

    Thanks for sharing post.Steel fiber will enhance to compromise resistance of the concrete, and they can also be used to replace or supplement architectural reinforcement.For more details,contact Precision Drawell.

    If the table is 1 meter long times 1 meter wide, that pretty much limits the size of the component you can machine, milling machine tools

APRON MECHANISM IN LATHE

APRON MECHANISM IN LATHE Apron Mechanism: Apron is attached to the carriage and hangs over the front side of the lathe bed. It is useful in providing power and hand feed to both carriage and cross-slide. It is also used to provide power feed to the carriage during thread cutting through two half nuts. The construction of apron is shown in Fig. Fig - Apron Mechanism Construction Power is transmitted from the spindle to the lead screw and feed rod through the spindle gear and tumbler gear arrangement. A worm is mounted on the feed rod by a sliding key. The worm meshes with a worm gear on whose axis another gear G1 is attached. Gear G1 is attached to a small gear G2 by a bracket as shown in the diagram. Gear G4 is positioned to be in mesh with the rack gear always. Another gear G3 is mounted on the same axis of gear G4. The carriage hand wheel meant for longitudinal feed is attached to the gear G5 on the same axis. The gears G3 and G5 are always in mesh. The gear G

Boiler Mountings - Dead Weight Safety Valve

DEAD WEIGHT SAFETY VALVE Function:- A valve is placed upon a valve seat that is fixed upon a long vertical pipe having a flange at the bottom for fixing at the top of the boiler. Suspended at the top of the valve is the weight carrier that carries cast iron rings. The total weight must be sufficient to keep the valve on its seat against the normal working pressure. When the steam pressure exceeds the normal limit, it lifts the valve with its weight & the excess steam escape through the pipe to the outside. This valve is used only with stationary type of boilers. It is the most elementary type of safety valve. The objection to dead weight safety valve is the heavy weight that has to be carried.
