CNC TURRET PUNCH PRESS

Punch presses are large machines with either a 'C' type frame, or a 'portal' (bridge) type frame. The C type has the hydraulic ram at the top foremost part, whereas the portal frame is much akin to a complete circle with the ram being centered within the frame to stop frame deflection or distortion. C type presses have a bed plate which is used to lock the die bottom bolster. For locking the die, T bolts are used and so this plate contain 'T - slots into which t- bolts are slid in. These slots are placed diagonally and with a slot horizontal to the longer side of the plate, is the general practice. These slots run up to a central hole made in the plate, the hole being large enough to accommodate another bush with a hole, the hole being used for dropping the punched part to the bottom of the press. The top of the tool butted against a vertical sliding ram with a clamping system which accommodates only a particular diameter of a threaded cylindrical member called the "shank" of the tool. The bottom portion of the tool is locked to the bottom bed plate and the top portion of the tool is locked to the sliding ram. Top and bottom portions of the tool are generally guided by suitable pillar and bush assemblies, (one or two pairs ), which gives safety to the punching elements of the tool.

Generally the tool is placed slightly above the bottom bed plate by providing two parallel blocks accurately ground to the same size. This is a necessary action since many tools, scrap (cut pieces which are a waste) is discharged through the bottom element of the tool, not necessarily in the centre of the tool. the scrap or the blank ( the required portion ) come out from the die at different places . These have to be taken out horizontally from between the parallels placed. Otherwise they get accumulated inside the tool itself and cause severe damage to the tool. In very heavy presses with higher tonnage, The sliding ram has also a thick plate with T slots for locking the top plate of the tool (called the top bolster). In such cases the threaded cylinder called shank is not attached to the tool. The clamps are either mechanical (manually operated using spanners ) or air operated varieties.

Turret type punch press machines have a table or bed with brushes or rollers to allow the sheet metal workpiece to traverse with low friction. Brushes are used where scratches on the workpiece must be minimized, as with brushed aluminum or high polished materials. Turret type Punch presses are computer numerically controlled (CNC) able to be run in an automatic mode, according to a pre-built program, to perform the processing of the material. The punch press is characterized by parameters such as:

Frame type Mechanism of delivering power to the ram (mechanical, electro-mechanical or hydraulic)

Size of working area (e.g., 2500 x 1250 mm) Single or multiple station Force rating (for example, 20 tons) The type of tool shop and its capacity (e.g., store revolving type, capacity 34 tool) Speed or productivity (typically characterized by the speed of strokes with a step movement of 25 and 1 mm)

Speed of movement without shock (speed-load displacement) Maximum weight of work piece Safety features Power consumption The type of software

Punch presses are usually referred to by their tonnage and table size. In a production environment a 30 ton press is mostly the machine used today. The tonnage needed to cut and form the material is well known, so sizing tooling for a specific job is a fairly straightforward task. According to the requirement the tonnage may even go up to 2000 to 2500 ton presses.

Die set

Quick change tool system (left: Die, in the front: Punch, Split punch retainer, back: Tool body, right: punch guide) A die set consists of a set of punches and dies which, when pressed together, form a hole in a work piece (and may also deform the work piece in some desired manner). The punches and

dies are removable, with the punch being attached to the ram during the punching process. The ram moves up and down in a vertically linear motion, forcing the punch through the material into the die.

CNC-controlled operation
To start a cycle, the CNC controller commands the drives to move the table along the X and the Y axis to a desired position. Once in position, the control initiates the punching sequence and pushes the ram from top dead center (TDC) to bottom dead center (BDC) through the material plane. (The terms BDC and TDC go back to older presses with pneumatic or hydraulic clutches. On today's machines BDC/TDC do not actually exist but are still used for the bottom and top of a stroke.) On its stroke from TDC to BDC, the punch enters the material, pushing it through the die, obtaining the shape determined by the design of the punch and dies set. The piece of material (slug) cut from the work piece is ejected through the die and bolsters plate and collected in a scrap container. The return to TDC signals to the control to begin the next cycle. The punch press is used for high volume production. Cycle times are often measured milliseconds. Material yield is measured as a percentage of parts to waste per sheet processed.

Hydraulic punch press

Hydraulic punch presses, which power the ram with a hydraulic cylinder rather than a flywheel, and are either valve controlled or valve and feedback controlled. Valve controlled machines usually allow a one stroke operation allowing the ram to stroke up and down when commanded. Controlled feedback systems allow the ram to be proportionally controlled to within fixed points as commanded. This allows greater control over the stroke of the ram, and increases punching rates as the ram no longer has to complete the traditional full stroke up and down but can operate within a very short window of stroke.

CNC MILLING MACHINE:

Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a work piece advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. It covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes in industry and machine shops today for machining parts to precise sizes and shapes.

Process

A profile of revolution ridges

Milling operates on the principle of rotary motion. A milling cutter is spun about an axis while a work piece is advanced through it in such a way that the blades of the cutter are able to shave chips of material with each pass. Milling processes are designed such that the cutter makes many individual cuts on the material in a single run; this may be accomplished by using a cutter with many teeth, spinning the cutter at high speed, or advancing the material through the cutter slowly. Most often it is some combination of the three. The speed at which the piece advances through the cutter is called feed rate, or just feed; it is most often measured in length of material per full revolution of the cutter.

As material passes through the cutting area of a milling machine, the blades of the cutter take swarfs of material at regular intervals. This non-continuous cutting operation means that no surface cut by a milling machine will ever be completely smooth; at a very close level (microscopic for very fine feed rates), it will always contain regular ridges. These ridges are known as revolution marks, because rather than being caused by the individual teeth of the cutter, they are caused by irregularities present in the cutter and milling machine; these irregularities amount to the cutter being at effectively different heights above the work piece at each point in its rotation. The height and occurrence of these ridges can be calculated from the diameter of the cutter and the feed. These revolution ridges create the roughness associated with surface finish.

LATHE MACHINE
A lathe is a machine tool which rotates the work piece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation.

Lathes are used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, Thermal spraying parts reclamation, and glass-working. Lathes can be used to shape pottery, the best-known design being the potter's wheel. Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The material can be held in place by either one or two centres, at least one of which can be moved horizontally to accommodate varying material lengths. Other work-holding methods include clamping the work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or collets, or to a faceplate, using clamps or dogs.

Examples of objects that can be produced on a lathe include candlestick holders, gun barrels, cue sticks, table legs, bowls, baseball bats, musical instruments, crankshafts, and camshafts.

PLASMA CUTTER Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch. In this process, an inert gas (in some units, compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma.The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut.

Process

Plasma cutting shaded image The HF type plasma cutting machine uses a high-frequency, high-voltage spark to ionize the air through the torch head and initiate an arc. These do not require the torch to be in contact with the job material when starting, and so are suitable for applications involving CNC cutting. More basic machines require tip contact (scratch) with the parent metal to start and then gap separation can occur similar to DC type TIG welders. These more basic type cutters are more susceptible to contact tip and shield damage on starting. The Pilot Arc type uses a two cycle approach to producing plasma, avoiding the need for initial contact. First, a high-voltage, low current circuit is used to initialize a very small highintensity spark within the torch body, thereby generating a small pocket of plasma gas. This is referred to as the pilot arc. The pilot arc has a return electrical path built into the torch head. The pilot arc will maintain itself until it is brought into proximity of the work piece where it ignites the main plasma cutting arc. Plasma arcs are extremely hot and are in the range of 25 000 C.

Plasma is an effective means of cutting thin and thick materials alike. Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 50 mm thick steel plate, and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 150 mm thick. Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized "cone" to cut with, they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes.

Plasma cutting with a tilting head Plasma cutting grew out of plasma welding in the 1960s, and emerged as a very productive way to cut sheet metal and plate in the 1980s.It had the advantages over traditional "metal against metal" cutting of producing no metal chips and giving accurate cuts, and produced a cleaner edge than oxy-fuel cutting. Early plasma cutters were large, somewhat slow and expensive and, therefore, tended to be dedicated to repeating cutting patterns in a "mass production" mode. As with other machine tools, CNC (computer numerical control) technology was applied to plasma cutting machines in the late 1980's into the 1990s, giving plasma cutting machines greater flexibility to cut diverse shapes "on demand" based on a set of instructions that were programmed into the machine's numerical control. These CNC plasma cutting machines were, however, generally limited to cutting patterns and parts in flat sheets of steel, using only two axes of motion (referred to as X Y cutting).

GRINDING MACHINE A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is a machine tool used for grinding, which is a type of machining using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts small chips from the work piece via shear deformation. Grinding is used to finish work pieces that must show high surface quality and high accuracy of shape and dimension. As the accuracy in dimensions in grinding is on the order of 0.000025 mm, in most applications it tends to be a finishing operation and removes comparatively little metal, about 0.25 to 0.50 mm depth. However, there are some roughing applications in which grinding removes high volumes of metal quite rapidly. Thus, grinding is a diverse field.

The grinding machine consists of a bed with a fixture to guide and hold the work piece, and a power-driven grinding wheel spinning at the required speed. The speed is determined by the wheels diameter and manufacturers rating. The user can control the grinding head to travel across a fixed work piece, or the work piece can be moved while the grind head stays in a fixed position. Fine control of the grinding head or tables position is possible using a vernier calibrated hand wheel, or using the features of numeric control.

Grinding machines remove material from the work piece by abrasion, which can generate substantial amounts of heat. To cool the work piece so that it does not overheat and go outside its tolerance, grinding machines incorporate a coolant. The coolant also benefits the machinist as the heat generated may cause burns. In high-precision grinding machines (most cylindrical and surface grinders), the final grinding stages are usually set up so that they remove about 200 nm per pass - this generates so little heat that even with no coolant, the temperature rise is negligible.

WHITENING & POLISHING OF RICE

White rice is produced from brown rice by removing the bran layer and the germ. The bran layer is removed from the kernel by applying friction to the grain surface either by rubbing the grains against an abrasive surface or against each other. The amount of bran removed is normally between 8-10% of the total paddy weight but this will vary according to the variety and degree of whiteness required. The process used to whiten brown rice can be classified as either abrasive or friction.

OLDER PROCESSES
ABRASIVE WHITENING
In this process the grain is whitened by the abrasive action of the rice kernel passing between a moving abrasive surface and stationary screen. The hard rough surface is usually stone or a carborundum type material. The abrasive process peels off the bran layers from the brown rice and applies less pressure on the grain than a friction process and is therefore better suited for long grain varieties. Abrasive polishers can be either vertical or horizontal in design. The vertical cone whitener is very common in many Asian countries.

FRICTION WHITENING
In the friction whitener the grain kernels are forced against each other and a metal screen by a steel-ribbed cylinder rotating inside a metal-plated cylinder. The frictional forces created between individual rice grains and between the grains and the metal screen surface remove the bran layer from the grain. Friction polishers are always horizontal in design and apply more pressure on the grain than an abrasive whitener.

COMBINEING WHITNER & POLISHER

The whitening process applies pressure to the grain, which generates heat and causes cracking and breakage of some kernels. To reduce the number of broken grains and the grain temperature during the whitening process, rice is normally passed through two to four whitening and polishing machines connected in series. Rice temperatures should not exceed 43-44C during any process. The arrangement of machines to process the rice during rice whitening is dependent on the physical characteristics rice grains. Proper sequencing of the machines will help reduce the amount of broken kernels during whitening and polishing. The normal arrangement of whitening and polishing long and short grain rice is as follows. Short grain: Abrasive - Friction - Friction Polishing Long grain: Abrasive - Abrasive Polishing For mills that produce premium or export quality rice, a mist polisher is employed to brush off

remaining bran dust and to create a characteristic gloss on the milled rice.

REMOVAL OF BRAN:-In both the abrasive and friction whitener, provisions are made
for a jet stream of air through the cylinder and portholes to cool the grain, and blow off fine bran. This minimizes breakage and improves efficiency of subsequent steps in the milling process.

ADJUSTING PRESSURE IN WHITENERS

Adjustment of the pressure in whiteners and polishers is crucial in meeting the objectives of milling. A certain pressure is required to peel off the bran: if the pressure is too low, only energy is converted into heat but no bran is removed. Conversely, too much pressure results in generation of broken rice. Pressure adjustment is often based on a judgment call of the operator. Many advanced models however contain an ampere meter (that shows the electric load on the motor drive) that indicates the pressure inside the mill. In friction-type whiteners, pressure is regulated by changing the flow rate of grain through the mill. Flow Rate is adjusted by a weight that puts pressure against the output valve.

MAINTENANCE
Abrasive stones should be resurfaced regularly to maintain high quality milled rice output. Excessive use of jet air stream can result in a decrease of moisture of milled rice and result in higher grain breakage.
