Milling machines are capable of dynamic movement. both of the tool and the workpiece. although manually and traditionally-automated milling devices are also common. These designs are often CAD directed.3 LATHE A lathe is a machine tool which rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting. wood. Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 8 . sanding. Mamala Fig 1. and camshafts. metal spinning. thermal spraying. It is the most widely used gear cutting process for creating spur and helical gears and more gears are cut by hobbing than any other process since it is relatively quick and inexpensive.Industrial visit report. The workpiece is usually held in place by either one or two centres. Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of revolution. parts reclamation. gun barrels. Examples of objects that can be produced on a lathe include candlestick holders. which is a special type of milling machine. plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. 1. thus it is used for a broad range of parts and quantities. metalworking. Compared to other gear forming processes it is relatively inexpensive but still quite accurate.

They are different kinds of Technology to roll the metal plate: 4 Roller machine: Anatomy. With the Side-Rolls all the way in. It can be also called “Roll bending machine” “plate bending Machine” or “rolling machine”. One Pressing Top-Roll. you have the least mechanical advantage. For example. 1. Two Pressing Side-Rolls The 3 Roll Variable Geometry works by having all three rolls being able to move and tilt.7. and two Side-Rolls. the Pinching-Roll. The flat metal plate is placed in the machine on either side and "pre-bent" on the same side. The Side-Rolls are what produce the mechanical advantage. The Side-Rolls move on the horizontal plane. The Top-Roll moves on the vertical plane. the Top-Roll presses the metal plate between the two Side-Rolls. The advantage of having the Variable 3 Roll is the ability to roll many thicknesses and diameters of cylinders. then you have the maximum mechanical advantage. 2015 KEL.6 DRILLING MACHINE Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 11 . a Top-Roll. 3 Roll Machines (Variable Pitch aka Variable Geometry): Anatomy.

The Pinching Roll holds the plate. 6 Drilling machine Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials.7. Mamala Fig 1. specially-shaped bits can cut holes of non-circular cross-section. As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is on the order of 0.Industrial visit report.. Exceptionally. Grinding is used to finish workpieces that must show high surface quality (e. This forces the cutting edge against the workpiece.50 Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 12 .7 GRINDING MACHINE A grinding machine. The bit is pressed against the workpiece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute. often multipoint.25 to 0.000025 mm. in most applications it tends to be a finishing operation and removes comparatively little metal. about 0. a square cross-section is possible. 1. often shortened to grinder. 2015 KEL. is any of various power tools or machine tools used for grinding. low surface roughness) and high accuracy of shape and dimension. which is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. The drill bit is a rotary cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip from the workpiece via shear deformation. cutting off chips (swarf) from the hole as it is drilled.g. Fig 1.this generates so little heat that even with no coolant. or using the features of numerical controls. there are some roughing applications in which grinding removes high volumes of metal quite rapidly. the temperature rise is negligible. 2015 KEL.7 Grinding machine Grinding machines remove material from the work piece by abrasion. However.8 SHAPER MACHINE Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 13 .Industrial visit report. In high-precision grinding machines (most cylindrical and surface grinders). the final grinding stages are usually set up so that they remove about 200 nm (less than 1/10000 in) per pass . which can generate substantial amounts of heat. 1. The grinding machine consists of a bed with a fixture to guide and hold the work piece. The speed is determined by the wheel’s diameter and manufacturer’s rating. grinding is a diverse field. Thus. and a power-driven grinding wheel spinning at the required speed.7. The coolant also benefits the machinist as the heat generated may cause burns. or the work piece can be moved while the grind head stays in a fixed position. Fine control of the grinding head or table position is possible using a Vernier calibrated hand wheel. Mamala mm depth. grinding machines incorporate a coolant. The grinding head can travel across a fixed work piece. To cool the work piece so that it does not overheat and go outside its tolerance. except that it is (archetypally) linear instead of helical. The heavy ‘arm’ moves backwards and forwards. but smaller.) A shaper is analogous to a planer.7. (Adding axes of motion can yield helical toolpaths. has also done in helical plaining. Cutting diameters of more than 10/15mm is very hard work with a normal hand held hacksaw. Its cut is analogous to that of a lathe. The ram is moved back and forth typically by a crank inside the column. hydraulically actuated shapers also exist. Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 14 .8 Shaper machine A shaper is a type of machine tool that uses linear relative motion between the workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to machine a linear toolpath. 1. Mamala Fig 1.9 POWER HACKSAW Power hacksaws are used to cut large sizes (sections) of metals such as steel. cutting on the backwards stroke. Therefore power hacksaws have been developed to carry out the difficult and time consuming work. 2015 KEL.Industrial visit report. rather than the entire workpiece moving beneath the cutter. and with the cutter riding a ram that moves above a stationary workpiece. First developed in the late part of the 19th century. and consumable or nonconsumable electrodes.7. Today it remains an important process for the fabrication of steel structures and vehicles.Industrial visit report. and consumable or nonconsumable electrodes. Arc welding processes may be manual. Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current. or slag. Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 15 .

They can use either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current. First developed in the late part of the 19th century. The welding region is usually protected by some type of shielding gas. semi-automatic. vapour. arc welding became commercially important in shipbuilding during the Second World War. Arc welding processes may be manual.9 Power hacksaw 1.10 WELDING  ARC WELDING Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the welding point. 2015 KEL. arc welding became commercially important in shipbuilding during the Second World War. The welding region is usually protected by some type of shielding gas. Mamala Fig 1. or slag. The direction of current used in arc welding also plays an important role in welding. and as a result. In arc welding. since any fluctuation in the distance between the wire and the base material is quickly rectified by a large change in current. the positively charged anode will have a greater heat concentration and. but the electrode can be charged either positively or negatively. because they maintain a relatively constant current even as the voltage varies. Consumable electrode processes such as shielded metal arc welding and gas metal arc welding generally use direct current. In welding. changing the polarity of the electrode has an impact on weld properties. are most often used for automated welding processes such as gas metal arc welding. and as a result. If the Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 16 . which in turn causes the heat to increase and the tip of the wire to melt. For example. as a result. arc length is kept constant. a number of different power supplies can be used. returning it to its original separation distance. This is important because in manual welding. 2015 KEL.10 Arc welding To supply the electrical energy necessary for arc welding processes. if the wire and the base material get too close.Industrial visit report. the voltage is directly related to the length of the arc. and submerged arc welding. Mamala Fig 1. flux cored arc welding. the arc length and thus voltage tend to fluctuate. Constant voltage power supplies hold the voltage constant and vary the current. it can be difficult to hold the electrode perfectly steady. the current will rapidly increase. Constant current power supplies are most often used for manual welding processes such as gas tungsten arc welding and shielded metal arc welding. The most common classification is constant current power supplies and constant voltage power supplies. In these processes. and the current is related to the amount of heat input. a positively charged electrode causes shallow welds. during which a given arc welder can safely be used. Duty cycle is a welding equipment specification which defines the number of minutes. Non-consumable electrode processes.11 Gas welding Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding. A welder with a 60% duty cycle must be "rested" for at least 4 minutes after 6 minutes of continuous welding. Alternating current rapidly moves between these two. respectively. as well as alternating current (AC).S. has been addressed with the invention of special power units that produce a square wave pattern instead of the normal sine wave. increasing weld penetration and welding speed.Industrial visit report. while a negatively charged electrode makes deeper welds. or gas welding in the U. a negatively charged electrode results in more shallow welds. Failure to observe duty cycle limitations could damage the welder. such as gas tungsten arc welding. Alternatively. One disadvantage of AC. an 80. For example. resulting in medium-penetration welds. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 17 .) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases and oxygen to weld and cut metals. With direct current however.  GAS WELDING Fig 1. eliminating low-voltage time after the zero crossings and minimizing the effects of the problem. 2015 KEL. within a 10 minute period. can use either type of direct current (DC). Mamala electrode is positively charged. the fact that the arc must be re-ignited after every zero crossing.or professional-grade welders typically have a 100% duty cycle. oxy welding. it will melt more quickly. because the electrode only creates the arc and does not provide filler material. Commercial. We got some practical experience along with theoretical knowledge. Dept: Of Mechanical Engineering Page 18 . In oxy-fuel welding. A common propane/air flame burns at about 2. is used to increase the flame temperature to allow localized melting of the workpiece material (e.500 °C (4. instead of air. and an acetylene/oxygen flame burns at about 3. instead. in recent decades it has been less widely utilized in industrial applications as other specifically devised technologies have been adopted.500 °C (6.530 °F). Mamala was a very good experience. Filler material depends upon the metals to be welded. as well as repair work. The systematic arrangement of the various department in the firm is a noticeable thing. atmospheric air) are not considered oxy-fuel torches and can typically be identified by a single tank (Oxy-fuel cutting requires two isolated supplies. burning it into a metal oxide that flows out of the kerf as slag. besides forge welding. It is still widely used for welding pipes and tubes.630 °F). 2015 KEL. Oxy-fuel is one of the oldest welding processes. CONCLUSION Industrial visit at KEL. steel) in a room environment. a welding torch is used to weld metals. Mamala became the first to develop oxygen-acetylene welding in 1903.g. In oxy-fuel cutting.000 °C (3. a propane/oxygen flame burns at about 2. Still used in industry. The molten pool is generally supplied with additional metal called filler. Torches that do not mix fuel with oxygen (combining.[1] Pure oxygen. Most metals cannot be melted with a single-tank torch. The cooperation of workers within the firm is an appreciable one. fuel and oxygen). a torch is used to heat metal to its kindling temperature. We got practical experience on different machines and equipments in the firm. A stream of oxygen is then trained on the metal. Welding metal results when two pieces are heated to a temperature that produces a shared pool of molten metal.330 °F).Industrial visit report.
