Principle of working
• Hold the work piece and to rotate it about an axis

• Cutting toll is fed either parallel or perpendicular to the axis


of the work piece removes material from the rotating work
to give the required size and shape

• Tool is moved parallel to the axis of rotation of the work


piece gives a cylindrical surface

• Tool is moved perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the


work piece gives a flat surface

4) Carriage
• Carriage consists of several parts that serves to support the
cutting tool and to control the action of the cutting tool
• It can be moved along the bed ways provided at the top of
the bed

Carriage has 5 major parts


a) Saddle: base of the carriage. It slides along the guide ways
b) Cross slide: mounted on saddle. It is used to move the tool
towards and away perpendicular to centre line of lathe

ARUN JOSE TOM, MLMCE, BME 21


c) Compound rest: mounted on the top of cross slide. Tool post
is fixed on the compound rest. Compound rest can be rotated
about the saddle, which makes positioning of cutting tool at
the desired angle
d) Tool post: mounted on compound rest. Cutting tool can be
firmly held on it.
e) Apron: it is fixed below the saddle. It contains gears and levers
for manual and automatic motion of carriage. For manual
motion of carriage along the bed, there is a hand wheel in
front of the apron. Automatic motion of carriage is made
possible by engaging hand wheel shaft of apron with the lead
screw(for thread cutting operation).

NUMERICAL CONTROL

• Control of a machine tool by means of recorded information


on punched tape or cards
• It is a method of automation in which various functions of
machine tools are controlled by letters, numbers and symbols
• System automatically interprets these data and converts
them to output signals, which, in turn control various
machine components
• Functions carried out by an operator in a conventional
machine are translated into instructions that can be
understood by a MACHINE CONTROL UNIT(MCU).

ARUN JOSE TOM, MLMCE, BME 277


• The MCU translates it into electrical signals. These signals
operate a servo system which controls the motion of tool,
work piece and the related auxiliaries

• Program of instructions: detailed step by step commands that
directs the actions of the processing equipment. Co-ordinate
information(x, y and z movements required for work and tool)
regarding the component is recorded on a tape and is fed to
the control unit

• MCU: it consists of tape reader, data buffer, signal output


channels, sequence control and related control hardware that
stores the program of instruction. Control unit convert the
commands into electric signals and these signals are sent to
processing equipment(machine tool)

• Processing equipment: performs useful work with the help of


a servo system
ARUN JOSE TOM, MLMCE, BME 283
• Feed back transducer is provided to check the positions
achieved and to send signals to the control unit for position
correction

CNC MACHINES

• A computer is used to prepare and control the operations of


the machine tool
• CNC refers to a computer that is joined to the NC machine
• The program is entered into the computer through a keyboard
or disc or tape and stored in its memory
• Whenever the part is to be machined, the program is called
from its memory
• Also, if it is required to have a change in any dimension, the
program can be called and edited to incorporate the
changes(not possible in a NC machine). This eliminates the
repeated use of tape
