Design and Fabrication of Gear Cutting Attachment for Lathe

The gear cutting machine lathe attachment is attachable to an existing gear cutting machine so as to eliminate the need for an operator owning both a gear cutting machine and a lathe. It is designed to be mounted to the side of the gear cutting machine and to be used without disturbing a setup in the associated vise. The attachment is also designed to be mounted to the front of a gear cutting machine and allows the programming of the very point of single point tool contact so as to follow whatever contour or steps are desired. This type of cutting is not possible on a lathe with guaranteed accuracy, while on a gear cutting machine it is quite feasible. Mechanical engineering without production and manufacturing is meaningless and inseparable. Production and manufacturing process deals with conversion of raw materials inputs to finished products as per required dimensions, specifications and efficiently using recent technology. The work is on design and fabrication of gear cutting attachment which is used to cut gear or splines over the cylindrical job. The main aim is to prove lathe is a versatile machine

The Analysis of Finishing Tooling Influence on Corrosion Properties of Stainless Steel

Angular momentum pumps are very often applied on-board ships. These pumps are used in cooling circuits of medium and high power engines, power plant boilers and in bilge, ballast and fire installations. Very extensive use of angular momentum pumps on board is linked with their numerous advantages. During operation, the wear of the marine hull, the rotor and the shaft seals takes place. The research attempts to increase the service life of shafts. The article presents the research results referring to the analysis of the influence of finish treatment (turning, grinding and burnishing) on the corrosion properties of steel applied to marine pump shafts. The research was performed on a roller of 40 mm in diameter made of X5CrNi18-10 (AISI 304 L) stainless steel. The turning process was carried out by means of a WNMG WF 080408 Sandvik Coromant cutting tool with replaceable inserts. The grinding process was performed by grinding attachment for lathes. The 1 – 80×10×32 – 99C 80-N V grinding wheel was used for the process. The process of burnishing was done by SRMD burnisher from Yamato. In addition, the influence of the burnisher passes number on the corrosion properties was determined. The paper will present the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic research. To conduct the survey, the Atlas 0531 EU & IA potentiostat was used. Determination of the corrosion process parameters was performed by the computer programs: AtlasLab 2.0, EIS Spectrum Analyzer and Elfit2.

The article presents the research results referring to the analysis of the influence of finish treatment (finishing turning, grinding, burnishing) on the friction factor of steel applied to marine pump shafts. The research was performed on a roller 39 mm in diameter made of stainless steel 304L. The finish tooling of pump shaft pins was carried out on a universal centre lathe. The finish turning process was carried out by means of a WNMG WF 080408 Sandvik Coromant cutting tool with replaceable inserts. The grinding process was performed by grinding attachment for lathes. The 1 – 80×10×32 – 99C 80-N V grinding wheel was used for the process. The process of burnishing was done by SRMD burnishing tool by Yamato. The burnishing process could be carried out at the following technological parameters: burnishing force 1.1 kN, burnishing speed 35 m/min, feed 0.13 mm/rev [1, 2, 3]. The paper aimed at defining the influence of burnishing on service conditions by: testing electrochemical corrosion, friction wear and contact fatigue.

Development of Lathe Attachment for a CNC Machine

A lathe attachment has been developed for an existing CNC machine (installed with rapid prototyping attachment) using conceptual design. The CNC machine operates on mechatronic controls and a computer interface called CAMSOFT, and is used as a CNC Lathe after installing the respective attachment to it. The conceptual design phase, starts from an idea and different components of the lathe are designed as attachment using CAD modelling and is followed by fabrication phase. The lathe attachment is successfully developed and is installed to the CNC machine. The working of the CNC Lathe attachment is checked by making some machining operation like turning and thread cutting. The machining operations are successfully done. The CNC machine becomes multifunctional with the presently developed lathe attachment and the existing RP (rapid prototyping) attachment, and can be used accordingly by installing the respective attachment to it. The CNC machine is useful for carrying research work in both the fields, when installed with the appropriate attachment.
