CENTER LATHE
MODEL: CL 305

MANUFACTURER: PECO

SWING: 305 mm

MOTOR CAPACITY: 7.5 HP

It is a basic type of lathe which spins a block of material to perform various operations such as
cutting, knurling, drilling, boring, reaming, thread cutting, taper turning etc with tools that are
applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation.

CONSTRUCTION OF CENTER LATHE

It consists of many parts such as headstock, bed, carriage and tailstock and all other accessories
which are listed below.
HEAD STOCK
The headstock houses the main spindle, speed change mechanism and change gears. The
headstock is required to be made as robust as possible due to the cutting forces involved, which
can distort a lightly build housing and induce vibrations that will transfer through to the
workpiece, reducing the quality of the finished workpiece.

SPINDLE
The main spindle is generally hollow to allow long bars to extend through to the work area, this
reduces preparation and waste of material. The spindle then runs in precision bearing and is fitted
with some means of attaching work holding devices such as chucks.

GEAR BOX
The spindle was directly driven by a dedicated electric motor using gear box. The fully geared
head allows the speed selection to be done entirely through the gear box.

BED
The bed is a robust base that connects to the headstock and permits the carriage and tailstock to
be aligned parallel with the axis of spindle. This is facilitated by hardened and ground ways.

Types of beds include inverted V beds, flat beds and combination V and flat bed. V and
combination beds are used for precision and light duty work while flat beds are used for heavy
duty work.

CARRIAGE
Carriage holds the tool bit and moves it longitudinally(turning) or perpendicularly(facing) under
the control of operator. Carriage can move manually via the hand wheel or automatically by
engaging the feed shaft with the carriage feed mechanism. The hand wheels on carriage and its
related slides are usually calibrated both for ease of use and to assist in making reproducible cuts.
Parts of carriage are as follows:

1-SADDLE
The casting that fits onto the top of bed and slides along it is known as saddle. It moves only
longitudinally.

2-CROSS SLIDE
It stands a top the saddle of the carriage and has a feed screw that travels perpendicular to the
main spindle axis. This permits facing operations to be performed and the depth of cut to be
adjusted. This feed screw can be engaged through a gear train to feed shaft to provide automated
power feed movement to cross slide.

3-COMPOUND REST
It is attached on the top of cross slide and supports the cutting tool. It is graduated so that any
angle can be set for taper turning but it is mostly used for short tapers.

4-TOOL POST
The cutting tool is mounted in the tool post which is attached to the top of compound rest .

5-APRON
The vertical often flate and rectangular plate fastened to the front of the saddle is known as apron
and carries a selection of gears and controls that allow the carriage to be power driven up and
down the bed and also engage the screw cutting feed and various powered tool feeds should they
be fitted.

TAILSTOCK :-
The tailstock is a tool header directly mounted on the spindle axis opposite to the head stock. It
has two main parts

Upper part

Lower part

Upper part motion is very critical. It moves not only longitudinally but also in different
directions while lower part of tailstock moves only in longitudinal direction.

TAILSTOCK SPINDLE:-
It does not rotate but does travel longitudinally under the action of hand wheel.
QUILL
Sliding member of tailstock is known as quill which can move outward and inward in which
dead center is mounted.

FEED AND LEAD SCREW

The feed screw is a long drive shaft that allows a series of gears to drive the carriage
mechanisms. These gears are located in apron of carriage. Both the feed screw and lead screw
are driven by either the change gears or an intermediate gear box, known as quick change gear
box.

The lead screw will be manufactured to either imperial or metric standards and will require a
conversion ratio to be introduced to create threads forms from a different family.

External operations

1-Turning:-
It is a process of reducing diameter of work piece to obtain desird shape, size and accuracy by
using a turning tool. It may be

-Straight turning

-Taper turning

For taper turning, four methods are used

-Compound rest method

-Taper turning by a form tool

-Taper turning by setting over tail stock

-Taper turning attachment.

2-Facing:-

It is the process of reducing length of work piece to obtain desired size, shape, and accuracy by
using a facing tool.

3- Thread cutting:-
It is a process of making threads on work piece by using a thread cutting tool which moves
axially along side of work piece
4- Grooving:-
It is a process of making grooves in work piece by using a turning tool moves radially into side
of work piece cutting a grooves equal in width to cutting tool.

Internal operation:-

1-Drilling:
It is a process of making hole in work piece by using twist drill mounted in tail stock.

2- Boring:
It is a process of enlargement of holes by using a boring tool.It is commonly performed after
drilling.

3-Reaming:
It is a process of giving smoother internal finish to a hole and to obtain a more accurate diameter.
It is also performed after drilling.

OBJECTIVE:-

Manufacture a work piece on lathe machine according to

given dimensions.

Apparatus:-
• Lathe machine
• Raw material for work piece
• Facing tool
• Turning tool
• Threading tool
• Abrasive finishing paper

Theory:-

Lathe Machine:-
The lathe is the forerunner of all machine tools. The first application of the lathe
principle was probably the potter’s wheel. This machine rotated a mass of clay and
enabled the clay to be formed into a cylindrical shape.

The modern lathe operates on same basic principle. The work is held and rotated on
its axis while the cutting tool is advanced along the lines of a desired cut. The lathe
is one of the most versatile machine tools used in industry. With suitable
attachments, the lathe may be used for turning, taper turning, screw cutting, facing,
drilling, boring etc. by using cutting tools. The cutting tool may be fed either parallel
or at right angles to axis of work. Cutting tool may also be fed at an angle to axis of

work for machining tapers.

Cutting Speed:
Lathe work cutting speed (CS) may be defined as the rate at which a point on the
work circumference travels past the cutting tool. It is usually expressed in feet per
minute (ft/min) or in meters per minute (m/min). Cutting speed depends on the type
of material being cut. If cutting speed is too high, the cutting tool edge breaks
rapidly. With too slow cutting speed, time will be lost for machining operation.

Inch Calculations:
Cutting speed = ∏ DN/12

where N= No. of revolutions per minute of spindle

D = Diameter of workpiece to be turned

Metric Calculations:
Cutting speed = DN/320

Lathe Feed:
The feed of a lathe may be defined as distance the cutting tool advances along the
length of the work for every revolution of spindle. For general purpose machining,
0.010 to 0.015 in (0.25-0.4mm) feed for roughing and 0.003 to 0.005 in (0.07-
0.012mm) feed for finishing is recommended.
Tool Geometry:-

Lathe Cutting Tools:

Most commonly used lathe cutting tools are as follows:

1. Facing tool:
Facing is a process of reducing length of workpiece to obtain desired size, shape
and accuracy. The tool used for facing is known as facing tool.

2. Turning tool:
Turning is a process of reducing diameter of workpiece to obtain desired size, shape
and accuracy. The tool used for turning is known as turning tool.

3. Threading tool:
Threading is a process of making threads on workpiece. The tool used for threading
is known as threading tool.

4. Boring tool:
Boring is a process of enlargement of hole after drilling. The tool used for boring is
known as boring tool.

5. Parting tool:
Parting is a process of separating workpiece from rest of raw material or any other
component. The tool used for parting is known as parting tool.

6. Finishing tool:
Finishing is a process of making the surface of workpiece smooth. It can be
performed by using abrasive paper or finishing tool.
 Grooving, undercutting Facing

Threading 60 Finishing

Threading ACME

Cutting tool geometry also includes proper clearance and rake angles ground on
tool bit.

a) Side cutting edge angle:

It is angle the cutting edge forms with side of tool shank. It varies from 10° - 20° .

b) End cutting edge angle:

It is the angle formed by the end cutting edge and a line at right angles to the
centerline of tool bit. This angle varies from 5° – 15° for roughing cut and from 15° –
30° for general purpose turning tools.

c) Side clearance angle:

It is an angle ground on flank of tool below cutting edge. It is generally 6° – 10°.

d) End clearance angle:

It is the angle ground below the nose of tool bit, which permits cutting tool to be fed
into work. It is generally 10° – 15°.

e) Side rake angle:

It is an angle at which face is ground away from cutting edge. It is generally 14°.

f) Back rake angle:

It is the backward slope of tool face away from the nose. This angle is generally 20°.

g) Angle of keenness:
It is the included angle produced by grinding side rake and side clearance on tool
bit. This angle is generally 90° for harder materials.
Lathe operations performed on workpiece:-

1. Facing:
It is a process of reducing the length of workpiece to obtain desired size, shape and
accuracy. It is usually done by a facing tool.

Workpieces to be machined are generally cut a little longer than required and then
end-faced to the proper length. By facing operation, the ends of a workpiece are to
be machined square with its axis.
2. Turning:
It is a process of reducing the diameter of workpiece to obtain desired size, shape
and accuracy. It is usually performed by a turning tool. By using turning process,
diameters of different parts of workpiece are to be maintained.

3. Step turning:
It is a process to make different steps having different diameters such as in
workpiece different diameters 14.4mm, 20.3mm, and 23.5mm are obtained by step
turning.
4. Threading:
It is a process of making threads on workpiece, by using threading tool.

Thread cutting on lathe is a process that produces a helical ridge of uniform section
on a workpiece. This is performed by taking successive cuts with a threading tool bit
of same shape as the thread form required.

We have to make threads of 11 T.P.I. on workpiece up to a length of 55.5mm.

5. Finishing:
It is a process to make the surface of workpiece smooth. It is very important and it
is usually performed at the completion of other lathe operations. It is usually
performed by using abrasive paper, filing or finishing tool.

Procedure to make required workpiece on lathe:-

1. Cut a piece of material from which the workpiece has to be made slightly
longer than the required length by using hacksaw.
2. Mounted the workpiece in chuck of lathe and firstly performed facing
operation to reduce the length of workpiece up to required length and to
make end face smooth.
3. Performed the turning operation up to the length of 55.5mm by using turning
tool, to attain the required diameter of 14.4mm.
4. Performed the step turning to attain the diameters of 20.3mm and 23.5mm
up to the lengths of 16mm and 60.5mm respectively.
5. Perform same procedure of step turning on the other side of workpiece.
6. Perform the threading operation on both sides of workpiece to make threads
of 11 T.P.I. up to the length of 55.5mm.
7. At the end finishing process has to be performed to make the surface of
workpiece smooth.

 Experiment No. 6

Study of Universal Milling machine and Gear cutting

Milling machines are machine tools used to produce one or more machined surfaces accurately

on a piece of material, the work piece, this is done by one or more rotatery milling cutters having

single or multiple cutting edges.

Universal milling machine:

It is a versatile machine tool that can handle a variety of operations normally performed by other

machine tools. It is used not only for the milling of flat and irregular shaped surfaces but also for

gear and thread cutting, drilling, boring, reaming and slotting operations.

Parts of universal milling machine:

1) Base:

The base gives the support and strength to the machine and act as a reservoir for cutting

fluid.

2) Column:

The column is the main supporting frame. It is a heavy box like structure. Inside the

column, there is space for motor and driving mechanism. The face of the column is a very

accurate slide

3) Knee:
 The knee is attached to the column face and may be vertically moved on the column face

either manually or accurately or automatically. It houses the feed mechanism.

4) Saddle:

The saddle is fitted on top of knee and may be moved in or out either manually by means

of the cross feed hand wheel or automatically by crosses feed engaging lever.

5) Table:

The table rests on guide ways in saddle and travels longitudinally in a horizontal plane. It

supports the work.

6) Spindle:

The spindle provides the drive for arbors, cutters and attachments used on a milling

machine.

7) Over arm:

The over arm provides for correct alignment and support of arbor and provide

attachments. I t can be adjusted and locked in various positions, depending on the length

of arbor and position of cutter.

8) Arbor support:

The arbor support is fitted to over arm and can be clamped at any location on over arm.

Its purpose is to align and support various arbors and attachments.

9) Arbor:
 It is a tapered portion and end of arbor is free, so it can fluctuate.

10) Elevating Screw:

It is controlled manually or automatically. It gives upward and downward movements to

knee and table.

Indexing

It is a process of maintaining same distance or gap between grooves. It can be performed

by holding the work piece and rotating it the exact amount for each groove or slot to be

cut.

Methods of Indexing

1) Direct Indexing:

In direct indexing, the index plate is directly mounted on the dividing head spindle.

The intermediate use of worm and worm wheel is avoided. For indexing, the index

pin is pulled out on a hole, the work and the index plate are rotated the desired

number of holes and the pin is engaged. Direct indexing is the most rapid method of

indexing but fractions of a complete turn of spindle are limited to those available with

the index plate.

2) Simple Indexing:
 In simple or plain indexing, an index plate selected for the particular application is

fitted on worm shaft and locked through a locking pin. To index the work through any

required angle, the index crank pin is withdrawn from a hole in index plate. This

spindle and hence work is indexed through the required angle by turning the index

crank through a calculated number of whole revolutions and holes on one of hole

circles after which index pin is relocated in required hole.

To calculate the indexing or number of turns of crank for most divisions, it is

necessary only to divide 40 by number of divisions (N) to be cut or

Indexing=40/N

Where N = No. of teethes to be cut

The usual ratio is 40 turns of index crank to 1 turn of spindle, in other words a ratio of

40 to 1. Now since the index crank make 40 revolutions to 1 of the spindle, one

revolution of crank would cause spindle to rotate 1/40 revolution.

3) Compound Indexing:

When none of the index plates has a hole circle which would enable the work to be

divided by simple indexing method, more involved methods are employed. One

method is compound indexing. The compound indexing is achieved in two stages, by

using two different hole circles of one index plate.

 By a movement of the crank in the usual way as in simple indexing, say n1

holes in hole circle N1, with the lock pin engaged in circle N2 of index plate.
  By adding or subtracting a further movement by rotating the crank and the

index plate together forward or backward through n2 spaces in the N2 circle by

disengaging the locking pin of index plate so that it is free to turn.

4) Angular Indexing:

When the angular distance between divisions is given instead of the number of

divisions, the setup for simple indexing may be used, however the method of

calculating the indexing is changed. One complete turn of index crank turns the work

one fortieth of a turn or one fortieth of 360° which equals to 9°.

When angular dimension is given in degrees then,

Indexing in Degrees = No. of degrees required / 9

If dimensions are given in degree and minutes, then

Indexing in Minutes = No. of minutes required / 540

5) Differential Indexing:

When it is impossible to calculate the required indexing by simple indexing method,

that is when fraction 40/N cannot be reduced to a factor of one available hole circles,

then differential indexing is used.

With this method, the index plate must revolve either forward or backward a part of

turn while index crank is turned to attain proper spacing or indexing. In differential

indexing, the index crank rotates dividing head spindle, spindle rotates index plate
after locking pin has been disengaged by means of change gears connecting the

dividing head spindle and worm shaft. The rotation of plate may be in same direction

(positive) or in opposite direction (negative) of index crank. This change of rotation is

affected by an idler gear or gears in gear train. When it is necessary to calculate the

indexing for a required number of divisions by differential method, a number is chose

close to required divisions that can be indexed by simple indexing.

Index plate:

Dividing needs are usually furnished with a set of three index plates having six

concentric holes with different number of equally spaced hole side. A typical set has

following number of holes.

Plate # 1: 15, 16, 17,18,19,20

Plate # 2: 21, 23, 27,29,31,33

Plate # 3: 37, 39, 41,43,47,49

Gears:

Gears are used to transmit power from one shaft to other by engaging teeth.

Gear terminologies:
Knowledge of more common gear terms is desired to understand gearing and to make

calculations necessary to cut a gear.

Circular pitch:

It is distance of one point on one tooth to the corresponding point on next tooth.

Circular pitch=length of arc ABC

=circumference of pitch circle / number of teeth

Or with symbols

C.P=3.1416*D / N ...... (i)

Where

C.P=circular pitch

D=Diameter of pitch circle

N=Number of teeth

From (1)

N=3.1416*D / C.P ......(ii)

D=CP*N / 3.1416 ......(iii)

Diameteral pitch:

It is the ratio of number of teeth for each inch of pitch diameter of the gear.

Diameter pitch=number of teeth/pitch of circle diameter

D.P=N / D .....(i)

From (i) following relations are obtained

N=D.P*D

D=N/D.P

Relation Between circular & diametral pitch:

Diametral pitch=3.1416/diametral pitch .....(i)

Sometimes it is convenient to change circular to diametral pitch or vice versa. So

Circular pitch=3.1416/diametral pitch .....(ii)

Addendum:
It is radial distance between the pitch circle and outside diameter or height of the

tooth above the pitch circle

In general

Addendum = 1 / diametral pitch

Deddendum:

It is the radial distance from the pitch of the circle to the bottom of tooth space.

Deddendum is equal to addendum. Accordingly, deddendum is found in same way as

an addendum that is,

Deddendum = 1 \ Diametral Pitch

Working Depth:

The sum of addendum and deddendum is called the working depth. It is the actual

theoretical length of the tooth.

Clearance:
It is the radial distance between the top of one tooth and the bottom of mating tooth

space. Gear must be so proportioned that when a tooth is in mesh with the groove or

space between it and adjacent tooth, the top of the tooth will not touch the bottom of

the groove, the reason for this, it is impossible to machine the teeth to the exact

dimension and accordingly there must be a margin of space to allow for any slight

errors and this margin is called the clearance.

Clearance = .157 \ DP

Face and Flanks:

By definition the face of tooth is that part of the tooth curve which lies between the

addendum and the pitch circle.

The flank of a tooth is that part of the tooth curve that lies between the pitch circle

and the deddendum circle.

Circular thickness

It is the tooth thickness measured on the pitch circle. It is also known as the Arc

Thickness.

Module :*( Metric gears)

 It is the pitch diameter of the gear divided by the no. of teeth. It is an actual dimension.

Pitch Circle:

It is a circle that has the radius of half the pitch diameter with its center at the axis of

the gear.

Pressure Angle:

It is an angle formed by line through the point of contact of two mating teeth and the

tangent to the two base circles and a line at right angles to center line of gear.

Root Circle:

It is the circle formed by the bottom of tooth spaces.

Whole Depth:

It is full depth of tooth or the distance equal to addendum deddendum.

Cutting Spur Gears:

Eight cutters for each pitch are as follows,

 No. 8 cutter will cut gear from 135 teeth to a rack.

 No.7 will cut gear from 55 to 135 teeth.

  No.6 will cut gear from 35 to 54 teeth.

 No.5 will cut gear from 26 to 34 teeth.

 No.4 will cut gear from 21 to 25 teeth.

 No.3 will cut gear from 17 to 20 teeth.

 No.2 will cut gear from 14 to 16 teeth.

 No.1 will cut gear from 12 to 13 teeth.

Procedure:

 Mounted the milling cutter on the milling machine arbor. Make sure that the

cutter teeth point is in the direction of arbor rotation.

 Mounted the work-piece in milling machine.

 Switch on the milling machine and run the work under the cutter.

 Set the index plate such that the crank pin is inserted in any one hole of 49 hole

circle.

 Raise the table until the cutter just touches the top of work-piece.

 Now set the automatic feed according to the depth of tooth. After cutting 1st tooth,

move the work-piece back, loose the knee clamp, set the crank pin in 35 holes out

of 49 hole circle.
  Again placed work-piece under cutter after tightening the clamp.

 Cut the 2nd tooth to its whole depth.

 Repeat this procedure till the completion of total teeth (560.

 Now remove the work-piece and cutter from machine.

Index Plate = 17, 19, 21,24,29,33,39,43,49

So, by using simple indexing,

i.e. 15 holes out of 21 hole circle

Or

5*7\7*7 = 35\49

i.e. 35 holes out of 49 hole circle.
