Machining

In the field of mechanical engineering, “Machine” is defined as an assembly of mechanisms that are clustered together in such a way that it can perform certain operations by utilizing electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic power, and thereby reduces the requirement of human effort and intervention in doing the task. However, “Machine Tool” is not exactly same with the machine. The term Machine includes wide variety of machinery, whereas Machine

Machining

In the field of mechanical engineering, Machine is defined as an assembly of mechanisms that are clustered together to perform certain operations by utilizing electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic power. Total number of mechanisms exist within a machine may vary from just few to few hundreds! Accordingly size of a machine also varies. Some machines, irrespective of their size, are portable. For example, a hand drill (small machine) and a

Gear drive is one important mechanical power transmission element that can transmit power and motion from one shaft to another by means of toothed wheel rigidly mounted on the shafts. It is one engagement drive that indicates power transmission occurs by means of successive engagement and disengagement of teeth of two gears. Whereas the belt drive (one type of friction drive) is especially suitable for medium to long distance power

Machining

In conventional machining, the cutting tool compresses a layer of work material to shear it off in the form of chips. Both the cutting tool and the workpiece is rigidly mounted on the machine tool maintaining appropriate orientation. All relative motions are also offered by the machine tool to smoothly accomplish material removal. In mass production of a product in conventional machine tool, same work is required to perform repeatedly
