PRACTICE N 1.MACHINE TOOLS CHECKING AND RECEPTION

DATE OF EXECUTION: 23- MAYO 2011

TERMINO I 2011-2012

OBJETIVE:
1. To introduce the use of indicators and precision levels. 2. To make comparisons between the tolerances gave by the fabricator, and the tolerances gave by standard factory. 3. To know about all the position that the indicator would take place, when a operator need to do a specific job.

INTRODUCTION:
THE INDICATOR
Before using machine tools, even if you are buying or receiving it, is imperative to recognize the machine status. A machine tool can be extremely complex due to all its components which should represent correct levels of parallelism and orthogonally respect to the bed of the machine. Machine tools manufacturers always attached a list of checking operations for all the machine components. Mostly, only a precision level and an indicator will be required. Besides, manufacturers also establish the allowed tolerances for each component. This device could help us to regulate some mechanical process such as in matriceria where is indispensable to get a good tolerance, people when work either lathe or milling machine have the ability to put the indicator near where they will work because it has a a magnet which sticks to the metal.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE

DATES OF GRAPHIC NUMBER 3: Circular movement of the centering cylinder of the milling spindle.

Measurement object
circular movement of the centering cylinder milling spindle

Measuring devices
Clock Probe

Instruction
position the pointer around the centering cylinder

tolerance
0.01 mm

DATES OF GRAPHIC NUMBER 4: Axial displacement of the milling spindle.

Measurement object
axial displacement of the milling spindle

Measuring devices Clock Probe

Instruction
To take place the indicator on the front surface of the milling spindle

tolerance 0.02 mm

DATES OF GRAPHIC NUMBER 8: Parallelism of the over arm with the cross movement of the worktable

Measurement object
parallels between the upper carriage and the transverse movement of the car

Measuring devices Clock Probe

Instruction
position the pointer on the surface of the table with the probe tip restraint in the car seat guide

tolerance

0.02/300 mm

DATES OF GRAPHIC NUMBER 9: Parallelism of the clamping surface of the table with its longitudinal movement.

Measurement object

Measuring devices

Instruction
Put the dial indicator in the cone of the spindle pointing on the surface of the table. Place the cross slide in the center of the table.

tolerance

parallel clamping surface of the table with its longitudinal movement

Clock Probe

0.03 mm

RECOMMENDATION:
1. When you are ready to start the job, be careful with the position of the indicator because on that depends that you get a good measures. 2. The machine should be turn off, because it isnt necessary to have turn on for this practice.

CONCLUSION:
1. I can see that in the first figure (N 3) doesnt exist an error, that means the husillo is in perfect condition. I can tell that because the arithmetic mean shows zero as a score. 2. In the second figure (N4) doesnt exist error too, it means that this part of the machine tool is in perfect condition, maybe could be because this machine is new. 3. In the third figure (N8) we can see that the arithmetic mean is 0.035, which isnt according with DIN8616 who allows 0.02 as a tolerance. That difference could be for the overweight of the machine. 4. And in the last figure (N9) we can observe that the arithmetic mean is 0.0125 which means that is less than DIN 8616 which allows 0.03 as a tolerance.
