The Turning Process

Majority of turning operations use simple single-point cutting tools, which is a right-hand cutting tool

Important process parameters have a direct influence on machining processes and optimized productivity

Tool Geometry Rake angle control both the direction of chip flow and

the strength of the tool tip Side rake angle controls the direction of chip flow Cutting-edge angle affects chip formation, tool

strength and cutting forces

The Turning Process

Forces in Turning The 3 principal forces acting on a cutting tool are

important in the design of machine tools, deflection of tools and workpieces for precision-machining operations

Cutting force acts downward on the tool tip and deflect the tool downward and the workpiece upward

Thrust force (or feed force) acts in the longitudinal direction

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Page 13: Turning MFG Chapter23

The Turning Process

Roughing and Finishing Cuts First practice is to have one or more roughing cuts at

high feed rates and large depths of cut Little consideration for dimensional tolerance and

surface roughness Followed by a finishing cut, at a lower feed and depth

of cut for good surface finish

Lathes and Lathe Operations:Design Considerations and Guidelines for Turning Operations

General design guidelines:

1. Parts should be designed to be fixtured and clamped easily into work-holding devices

2. Dimensional accuracy and surface finish should be as wide as permissible for the part to still function properly

3. Sharp corners should be avoided

4. Blanks should be as close to final dimensions as possible

5. Parts should be designed so that cutting tools can travel across the workpiece without obstruction

6. Design features should be commercially available

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Page 44: Turning MFG Chapter23

Lathes and Lathe Operations:Design Considerations and Guidelines for Turning Operations

Guidelines for Turning Operations Some guidelines have to be implemented on a trial-

and-error basis:

1. Minimize tool overhang

2. Support the workpiece rigidly

3. Use machine tools with high stiffness and high damping capacity

4. When tools begin to vibrate and chatter, modify one or more of the process parameters

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Page 45: Turning MFG Chapter23

Lathes and Lathe Operations:Chip Collection Systems Chips produced during machining must be collected

and disposed properly Chip management involves collecting chips from their

source in the machine tool in an efficient manner and removing them from the work area

Chips can be collected by:

1. Gravity drop

2. Dragging the chips from a settling tank

3. Using augers with feed screws

4. Using magnetic conveyors

5. Employing vacuum methods of chip removal

Lathes and Lathe Operations:Cutting Screw Threads Screw thread defined as a ridge of uniform cross

section that follows a helical or spiral path on the outside or inside of a cylindrical (straight thread) or tapered surface (tapered thread)

Threads can be machined externally or internally with a cutting tool called thread cutting or threading

Screw-thread Cutting on a Lathe The cutting tool, the shape depends on the type of

thread to be cut

Page 49: Turning MFG Chapter23

Lathes and Lathe Operations:Cutting Screw ThreadsDesign Considerations for Screw Thread Machining Design considerations must be taken into account:

1. Designs should allow for the termination of threads

2. Attempts should be made to eliminate shallow, blind tapped holes

3. Chamfers should be specified at the ends of threaded sections

4. Threaded sections should not be interrupted

5. Standard threading tooling and inserts should be used

6. Thin-walled parts should have sufficient thickness and strength

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Page 73: Turning MFG Chapter23

Drilling, Drills, and Drilling Machines:Design Considerations for Drilling Basic design guidelines:

1. Designs should allow holes to be drilled on flat surfaces and perpendicular to the drill motion

2. Interrupted hole surfaces should be avoided

3. Hole bottoms should match standard drill-point angles

4. Through holes are preferred over blind holes

5. Dimples should be provided

6. Parts should be designed with a minimum of fixturing

7. Blind holes must be drilled deeper

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Page 74: Turning MFG Chapter23

Reaming and Reamers

Reaming is an operation used to:

1. Make existing hole dimensionally more accurate

2. Improve surface finish Most accurate holes in workpieces are produced by:

1. Centering

2. Drilling

3. Boring

4. Reaming For even better accuracy and surface finish, holes may

be burnished or internally ground and honed

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Page 75: Turning MFG Chapter23

Reaming and Reamers

Hand reamers have a tapered end in the first third of their length

Machine reamers are available in two types: Rose reamers and Fluted reamers

Shell reamers are used for holes larger than 20 mm Expansion reamers are adjustable for small variations

in hole size Adjustable reamers can be set for specific hole

diameters and therefore are versatile
