8 MC Structure

This document discusses the design of machine tool structures. It covers the forces acting on machine tools including cutting forces, gravitational forces, frictional forces, and inertia forces. It then discusses design requirements for machine tool structures including accuracy, stiffness, and withstanding stresses and deformations. Specific examples of forces on a lathe and calculations for designing for strength against bending and torsional moments are provided. Design for stiffness is also covered, discussing moment of inertia calculations and use of perpendicular and diagonal stiffeners.

CLASSIFICATION STRUCTURES
1. Beds and bases where various sub assemblies are mounted
2. Speed box housing, spindle head, etc where individual units are
housed
3. Table, carriage, knee, tail stock, etc, are the parts support and move
w/p & cutting tools
FORCES ON M/C TOOLS
Sources and the types of the forces that develop in machine tools
1. Cutting forces originating at the cutting point(s)
In continuous type machining;
• Main cutting force, PZ along the velocity vector, VC
• Feed or thrust force, PX along the feed direction
• Transverse force, PY normal to PZ – PX plane in turning, boring and similar
single point cutting process
• Torque and thrust force in drilling, counterboring, counter sinking etc.
In impact initiated type;
• Shaping, planing, slotting, gear shaping etc.

In intermittent type;
• Fluctuating forces due to intermittent cutting in milling, hobbing etc.
FORCES ON M/C TOOLS
2. Gravitational forces
• Dead weight of the major and heavy components of the Machine – Fixture –
Tool – Work (M – F – T – W) system, e.g., workpiece, headstock, tailstock,
saddle, bed and moving tables etc.

3. Frictional forces
• Due to rubbing at the sliding surfaces.

4. Inertia forces
• Due to acceleration and deceleration at the end points of sliding and
reciprocating motions of heavy parts like carriage or saddle, turret slide, tool
slides, moving beds, reciprocating tables, rams, jobs etc.

5. Centrifugal forces
• Due to high speed rotation of eccentric masses
• Due to wide run out or eccentric rotation of jobs, machine tool parts, spindle,
shafts, tools etc.
EFFECTS OF THE VARIOUS FORCES ON MACHINE TOOLS

• Energy or power consumption


• Increased cutting zone temperature and its detrimental effects
• Dynamic forces resulting vibration and chatter cause poor surface quality
and reduction of life of cutting tools as well as damage of the machine tools
• Elastic deflection and thermo-elastic deformation of several bodies leading
to dimensional inaccuracy
• Rapid wear and tear at the sliding surfaces
• Noise and inconvenience
• Chances of premature mechanical failure of cutting tools and other
components due to excessive stresses, thermal fracture, wear, fatigue,
resonance etc.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
1. All important mating surfaces of the structures should be machined with
high degree of accuracy to provide desired geometrical accuracy
2. The initial geometrical accuracy of the structures should be maintained
during the whole lifetime of the machine tool
3. The shape and size of the structures should provide scope for safe
operation and maintenance of the machine tools. The stresses and
deformations due to mechanical forces as well as thermal stresses should
be with safe limits.

Design considerations
1. Selection of proper materials
2. High static and dynamic stiffness

DESIGN FOR STIFFNESS
The machine tool beds consist of partially or fully closed
box sections with ribs, partitions, etc.
Beds are usually used in machine tools with wall
arrangements and are evaluated as bars subjected to
bending and torsion.
