Abstract

The project has been carried out at Rane Engine Valve Ltd. (REVL), Chennai. The main aim of the project is to design, development and simulation of Low Cost Automation (LCA) for Special Purpose Turning Machine, which is now a major area of research. The machine is a SPM and is useful for machining (undercut, turning head diameter, fillet, chamfering) operations of engine valves used in automobile industry. The objective is to reduce rejections and cost, maintain quality and to achieve high volume production. The methodology of design, development and simulation of Low Cost Automation for the twin spindle special purpose turning machine involves collection of data regarding pneumatic, electro pneumatic and low cost automation, enhanced concept design anddevelopment of various component of automation, electro pneumatic circuit design and simulation using Fluid SIM software. The design is based on LCA principles rather than pneumatic and PLC principles. A 3D model of the machine is also created using Pro-Esoftware to represent implemented components after the design and development process.
