To be successful with applying machine learning to a problem, it’s important to take a systematic approach. If not, the results could be way off base. First of all, you need to go through a data process, which we covered in the prior chapter. When this is finished, it’s a good idea to do a visualization of…

A number of cutting operations are performed on a lathe machine. Therefore, various cutting tools are used in lathe such as left-hand and right-hand turning tools, facing tools, threading tools, parting-off tool, etc., as shown in Figure 19.10. Figure 19.10 Various Cutting Tools Used in Lathe 19.5.6  Types of Operations on Lathe Machine Following are the various types…

Head stock spindle drive system may include stepped or cone pulley drive or all geared head drive. In stepped pulley, the number of speed equals to number of steps in pulley. In all geared head drive, total nine various speed can be obtained. Stepped Pulley (Cone Pulley) Drive: V-belt is used to transmit the power from…

A lathe machine consists of a number of components. These components perform various functions, for example, facilitate variation in speed, hold the cutting tool, rigidly hold the job, provide end support to the job, automatic movement of tool, etc. A lathe with nomenclature of various parts is shown in Figure 19.5. Figure 19.5 A Lathe with Nomenclature…

Lathe machine can be specified by following dimensions (Figure 19.4): Figure 19.4 Specifications of Lathe

According to the construction and design lathe can be classified as follows: Bench Lathe: It is small in size and mounted on a separate table. It has all the attachments, which a larger lathe has. It is used to perform a precise work. Speed Lathe: This may be bench type or legs supported lathe. It has no…

Lathe is an oldest machine tool. The entire machine tools are developed from the lathe, therefore it is also known as mother of machine tools. A number of cutting operations can be performed on lathe with or without some attachments. On lathe, a rotational motion is provided to the job and translational motion is provided…

The removal of extra material from a metal surface by shearing or cutting action is known as machining or metal cutting. The cutting takes place along a plane, which is known as shear plane. There is a cutting zone; if it is examined carefully we find that the severe plastic deformation occurs in this zone…

Machine tools that give a shape to parts/products by removing metal chips from a workpiece include lathes, shapers and planers, drilling machines, boring machines, milling machines, grinders, etc. Before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century, hand tools were used to cut and shape materials for the production of goods such as cooking utensils, wagons,…
