UNIT – I LATHE
Introduction to production processes – types of production (job, batch and mass) – production processes – Casting, Forming, Machining and Welding, Machine Tool – Lathe – Engine Lathe – block diagram – sketch – functions of each part – work holding devices in lathe – functions – Chuck, Centre, Dogs, Steady Rest and Follower Rest, mechanism of lathe – Apron, Feed, Tumbler Gear, various operations performed in Lathe – facing, turning, chamfering and knurling – relative positions of tool and job – Taper turning operations (three methods)_ thread cutting – RH and LH thread, single start and multi start with application – Method of thread cutting – selection and arrangement of tool and work. Problems in metric and inch thread conversion – Specifications of Lathe – Burnishing.
UNIT – II SHAPER, PLANER and SLOTTER
Purpose of shaping – block diagram – functions of each part. Purpose of planer – block diagram – functions of each part. Purpose of slotting machine – block diagram – functions and working principle. Operations carried out – horizontal plane, vertical plane, v type with relative position – Comparison of planer with shaper – work holding devices in shaper and planer – Quick return mechanism in shaper – mechanical and hydraulic – cross feed mechanism – Types of planer with application – Comparison of shaping with slotting – tool holding devices in shaper, planer and slotter – specifications of shaper, planer and slotter simple problems to calculate the velocity – speed, feed and depth of cut.
UNIT – III DRILLING
Purpose of drilling – block diagram and function – types of drilling machines – portable drilling – bench type – sensitive drilling – radial arm drilling – functions of parts – purpose and operation – gang drilling, multiple drill head, upright drilling, relative operations – reaming, boring, tapping, counter boring, courses sinking, trepanning and spot facing (with simple sketch, purpose and application). Work holding devices – specification torque calculation – speed, feed and depth of cut.
