-: ABSTRACT :-

Industrial training plays a vital role in the progress of further engineers.


Not only does it provide insights about the industry concerned, it also bridges
the gap between theory and practical knowledge. I was fortunate that I was
provided with an opportunity of undergoing industrial training at
TURN WELL ENGINEERING , GIDC,MAKARPURA, VA D O D A R A .

The experience gained during this shorts period was fascinating to say the least.
It was a tremendous feeling to observe the operation of different equipment
and processes. It was overwhelming for us to notice how such a big refinery is
being monitored and operated with proper coordination to obtain desired results.
During my training I realized that in order to be a successful mechanical
engineer one needs to possess a sound theoretical base along with the
acumen for effective practical application of the theory. Thus, I hope that this
industrial training serves as a stepping stone for future opportunities.

1.3 Different Materials are used in company :-

1. Mild steel (MS) :- Due to its excellent properties, mild steel has become an
in-demand material in various industries. It has unparalleled weldability and
machinability, which has led to an exponential increase in its usage.

2. Stainless steel (SS) :- Stainless steel is an alloy of iron that is resistant to


rusting and corrosion. It contains at least 11% chromium and may contain
elements such as carbon, other nonmetals and metals to obtain other
desired properties. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the
chromium, which forms a passive film that can protect the material and self-
heal in the presence of oxygen. The alloy's properties, such as luster and
re s is ta n c e to c o rr o s io n , a re u s e fu l in m a n y a p p li c a ti o n s .

3. Aluminum (AL) :- Aluminum (Al), also spelled aluminium, chemical element,


a lightweight silvery white metal of main Group 13 (IIIa, or boron group) of
the periodic table. Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in
e art h’ s c rus t and t he m os t w i d ely us e d n o n f e r r o u s m et al.

4. Copper :- Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin:


cuprum) and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal
with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface
of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor
of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various
metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make
marine hardware and coins, and constantan used in strain gauges and
thermocouplesfortemperaturemeasurement.

5. Brass :- Brass is an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), in proportions which
can be varied to achieve different colours and mechanical, electrical, and
chemical properties, but copper typically has the larger proportion. In use
since prehistoric times, it is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents
may replace each other within the same crystal structure.

CHAPTER 2: CUTTING MACHINE

2.1 Cut-off saw or Chop saw Machines Information :-

Cut-off saw machines are designed to cut hard materials such as metal pipe

and tube, concrete and masonry. Applications for cutoff machines include

building and construction, emergency rescue and concrete and paving.

They are also known as chop saws and abrasive saws.

An abrasive saw, also known as a cut-off saw or chop saw, is a circular saw
(a kind of power tool) which is typically used to cut hard materials, such as
metals, tile, and concrete. The cutting action is performed by an abrasive
disc, similar to a thin grinding wheel. Technically speaking this is not a saw,
as it does not use regularly shaped edges (teeth) for cutting.

Figure 3: Cut-off saw or Chop saw cutting machine

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-2

These saws are available in a number of configurations, including table top,


free hand, and walk behind models. In the table top models, which are
commonly used to cut tile and metal, the cutting wheel and motor are
mounted on a pivoting arm attached to a fixed base plate. Table top saws
are often electrically powered and generally have a built-in vise or other
clamping arrangement. The free hand designs are typically used to cut
concrete, asphalt, and pipe on construction sites. They are designed with
the handles and motor near the operator, with the blade at the far end of
the saw. Free hand saws do not feature a vise, because the materials being
cut are larger and heavier. Walk-behind models, sometimes called flat saws
are larger saws which use a stand or cart to cut into concrete floors as well
as asphalt and concrete paving materials.

Abrasive saws typically use composite friction disk blades to abrasively cut
through the steel. The disks are consumable items as they wear throughout
the cut. The abrasive disks for these saws are typically 14 in (360 mm) in
diameter and 7/64 in (2.8 mm) thick. Larger saws use 410 mm (16 in)
diameter blades. Disks are available for steel and stainless steel. Abrasive
saws can also use superabrasive (i.e., diamond and cubic boron nitride or
CBN) blades, which last longer than conventional abrasive materials and
do not generate as hazardous particulate matter. Superabrasive materials
are more commonly used when cutting concrete, asphalt, and tile; however,
they are also suitable for cutting ferrous metals. A member of the
Te c h n i s c h e s Hilfswerk using an abrasive s aw.

Since their introduction, portable cut-off saws have made many building site
jobs easier. With these saws, lightweight steel fabrication previously performed
in workshops using stationary power bandsaws or cold saws can be done on-
site. Abrasive saws have replaced more expensive and hazardous acetylene
torches in many applications, such as cutting rebar. In addition, these saws
allow construction workers to cut through concrete, asphalt, and pipe on job
sites in a more precise manner than is possible with heavy equipment.

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-2

2.2 Configurations :-

Cut-off saws are commonly bench top or hand operated saws but may also
come as a free-standing saw on its own. All cutoff machines use an abrasive
blade which allows it to cut through very hard materials and that blade can
be powered by either a gasoline engine or electric motor.

2.3 Specifications and Features :-

Specification :

The following specifications determine the functionality of a cut-off machine.

Power source: The power source of the cutoff machine is an important


specification. A bench top cutoff machine is almost always electric while a
hand-held cutoff machine may be electric or have a small gas engine. The
two most important aspects of the power source are the weight it ads to the
cutoff machine and the power.

Blade diameter: The blade diameter of a cutoff machine is important to


cutoff machines, as it plays a part in which material and how much
of it the machine can cut.

Cutting capacity: The size of the medium that can be cut.

Motor power: The actual power of the motor or engine that powers the
cutoff machine.

Features :

These features provide additional utility or ease-of-use.

Miter cutting: The cut off machine can cut intricate angles.

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-2

2.4 Advantages :-

Speed: Cut-off machines are designed to make quick, precise cuts through a
variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and wood.
Accuracy: Cut-off machines are equipped with guides and stops to help ensure
that cuts are straight and accurate.
Versatility: These can be used to make a wide range of cuts, including straight,
angled, and curved cuts.
Safety: Cut-off machines are equipped with guards and other safety features to
help reduce the risk of accidents.
Efficiency: These can be used to make multiple cuts in a single pass, which can
save time and increase productivity.
Precision: Cut-off machines are designed to make very precise cuts, which is
important when working with materials that need to fit together perfectly.
Cost: These are generally less expensive than other types of cutting equipment,
making them a good choice for businesses on a budget.
Durability: Cut-off machines are built to handle heavy use and are designed to
last for many years with proper maintenance.
Power: These are typically powered by electricity, which makes them more
convenient to use than hand-powered tools. They also offer a consistent level
of power, which can be important when cutting through tougher materials.
Portability: Some cut-off machines are portable and can be easily transported to
different job sites. This can be especially useful for Contractors who work on a
variety of projects in different locations.
Quality: These are designed to make high-quality cuts that are smooth and
precise. This can be important for applications where appearance and function
are both important, such as in the construction of furniture or other finished
products.
Ease of use: Cut-off machines are generally easy to use, even for people with
limited experience. Many models have user-friendly controls and features that
make it easy to get started and make precise cuts.

CHAPTER-2

2.5 Disadvantages :-

Severe cuts to or amputations of the fingers or hands can


oc cur i f t hey com e in co n ta c t with the saw bl a de .

If the rotating blade is not properly guarded, exposure can occur


during operation or when the saw is idling.

Overhead swing saws can pose additional hazards if the return device
fails, if the saw bounces forward from aretracted position, or if the saw
blade is able to go past theedge of the table, possibly contacting the
operator’s body.

CHAPTER-3

CHAPTER 3: GRINDING MACHINE

3.1 Bench Grinding Machine :-

A bench grinder is a benchtop type of grinding machine used to drive abrasive

wheels. A pedestal grinder is a similar or larger version of grinder that is

mounted on a pedestal, which may be bolted to the floor or may sit on rubber

feet. These types of grinders are commonly used to hand grind

v a ri o u s c u tt in g to o ls and p e rf o rm o th e r ro u g h g ri n d in g .

Depending on the bond and grade of the grinding wheel, it may be used for

sharpening cutting tools such as tool bits, drill bits, chisels, and gouges.

Alternatively, it may be used to roughly shape metal prior to welding or fitting.

Figure 4: Bench Grinding Machine

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-3

A wire brush wheel or buffing wheels can be interchanged with the grinding
wheels in order to clean or polish workpieces. Stiff buffing wheels can also
be used when deburring is the task at hand. Some buffing machines (buffers)
are built on the same concept as bench grinders except for longer housings
and arbors with buffing wheels instead of grinding wheels.

Bench grinders are standard equipment in metal fabrication shops and


machine shops, as are handheld grinders (such as angle grinders and
die grinders).

3.2 Operation (including safety standards) :-

Wheel speed

Wheels come with maximum RPM ratings printed on the label (paper blotter). The
grinder's RPM must be equal or lower; "the maximum operating speeds indicated on
the wheel's tag must never be exceeded". Greatly overspeeding a grinding wheel
makes it explode, which can injure or kill the operator.

Workpiece material suited to wheel grade

The typical wheels on most bench grinders are vitreous-bond wheels. They work best to
do their intended task, but they inherently have a risk of cracking. Grinding wheels
designed for steel are not to be used for grinding softer metals, like aluminum. The soft
metal gets lodged in the pores of the wheel and later expands with the heat
of grinding. This can dislodge pieces of the grinding wheel, causing injury.

Sides of wheel versus periphery

Grinding is prohibited on the side of a typical (disk-shaped) bench grinder wheel, which
is designed for grinding on the periphery only. Grinding on the side of a
wheel can cause the wheel to explode. Some tool and cutter grinders
h a v e c u p - s h a p e d wh e e l s d e s i g n e d t o do g ri n d i n g o n t h e si d e .

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-3

Tool rest and spark arrester placement

The tool rest needs to be tight and within 2 to 3 mm of the wheel (1/16" to 1/8"). This
prevents the workpiece from slipping down between the wheel and the tool rest. The
spark arrestors catch stray sparks.

Grinding is usually done with the workpiece resting on the tool rest. This prevents
sudden slips in which the wheel grabs the work momentarily and yanks it
out of the operator's hand or pulls the hand toward the wheel.

Wheel guards

The wheel guards serve to intercept the fragments of an exploding wheel, keeping
them from killing people or damaging surroundings. This is why running a grinder
without the guards is prohibited.

Coolant

Grinding metal on a power-driven grinding wheel quickly heats up the workpiece. Most
bench grinders are of the dry type, in which no cutting fluid (coolant) is used at the
grinding interface, but often the workpiece is recurrently dunked into a pan or pot of
water for cooling so as to keep it from getting hot enough to lose its temper, burn the
operator's hand, or both. Such pots are often mounted just below the grinder for safe
and easy reach. For medium-carbon or high-carbon workpieces that are already
hardened and tempered (such as tool bits and drill bits), the dipping of the piece into
the water must be frequent enough to avoid very high heat followed by substantial
q u e n c h i n g , w h i c h c a n e a s i l y d e s t r o y t h e e xi s t i n g h e a t t r e a t me n t .

Some grinders for knife sharpening duty are of the wet type, in which the bottom of the
wheel runs within a pan of water or other coolant. A tube may also deliver a stream of
coolant near the top of the wheel. These grinders are not always called bench grinders,
but they are among the class of benchtop grinding machines.

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-3

3.3 Basic Principle of Bench Grinding Machine :-

The motor runs the two grinding wheels with which the surface of the respective

workpiece can be machined. The higher the power of the motor is, the larger

workpieces can be processed.

3.4 Uses for Bench Grinders :-

There are many different uses for bench grinders in machine shops. They can be

used to sharpen tools, remove rust from metal pieces, and polish surfaces.

Bench grinders are also commonly used to grind down welds to create a smooth

finish. The most common use for a bench grinder is sharpening tools.

When sharpening chisels or other cutting tools, it is important to use a consistent

angle and pressure to ensure a clean, sharp edge. The best way to do this is by

using a jig or guide that attaches to the bench grinder and holds the tool at the

correct angle.

3.5 Advantages :-

Less pressure can be applied to work.

Ability to work at high temperature.

Offers high accurate dimensions.

Ability to cut any type of metal at a speed rate.

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-3

3.6 Disadvantages :-

Required tool is high cost.

Process is also a costly one.

It cannot remove the high amount of material, it only removes a little amount.

For removing the required amount from work it consumes more time.

You should work carefully, because imperfect contact may lead to damages.

CHAPTER 4: CNC MACHINE

4.1 What is CNC? :-


CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control. It is a computerized
manufacturing process in which pre-programmed software and code controls
the movement of production equipment. CNC machining controls a range of
complex machinery, such as grinders, lathes, and turning mills, all of which
are used to cut, shape, and create different parts and prototypes. On the day
to day, CNC machinists combine elements of mechanical design, technical
drawings, mathematics, and computer programming skills to produce a
variety of metal and plastic parts. CNC operators can take a sheet of metal
and turn it into a critical airplane or automobile part.

4.2 What is a CNC Machine? :-


Computer Numerical Control machines are automated machines, which are
operated by computers executing pre-programmed sequences of controlled
commands. CNC machines are essentially the opposite of “old-school”
devices that are manually controlled by hand wheels or levers, or
mechanically automated by cams alone. Today’s modern CNC machines
u n de r st an d and f unction using CNC ma ch i nin g la ngu age –
called G- code – w hich tells them prec is e m e as urem ent s for
production, like feed rate, speed, location, and coordination.

Today’s design and mechanical parts for CNC systems are highly automated –
unlike the old, dangerous, factory machines you’d think of back in the day.
The parts’ mechanical dimensions are defined using computer-aided design
(CAD) software, and then translated into manufacturing directives by computer-
aided manufacturing (CAM) software. Therefore, it is important to have
knowledgeable CNC machinists and programmers in the industry to operate
this high-tech machinery.

4.3 The Importance of CNC Machining :-


Manufacturers in Connecticut are leaders in making vital products in the industry,
such as jet engines, helicopters, and submarines. And, thanks to recent
advancements in technology, gone are the days of gritty factory life. Workers
today use their machining skills in a clean, professional setting with advanced
and cutting-edge technology.

CHAPTER-4

4.4 Types of CNC Machining Operations :-


CNC machining is a manufacturing process suitable for a wide variety of industries,
including automotive, aerospace, construction, and agriculture, and able to produce a
range of products, such as automobile frames, surgical equipment, airplane engines,
gears, and hand and garden tools. The process encompasses several different
computer-controlled machining operations—including mechanical, chemical, electrical,
and thermal processes—which remove the necessary material from the workpiece to
produce a custom-designed part or product. While chemical, electrical, and thermal
machining processes are covered in a later section, this section explores some of the
mos t c o m m o n m e c h a n i c a l CNC m a c hi ni n g o p e r a t i o n s i n c l u di n g:
Drilling
Milling
Turning

CNC Drilling :-
Drilling is a machining process which employs multi-point drill bits to produce
cylindrical holes in the workpiece. In CNC drilling, typically the CNC machine feeds
the rotating drill bit perpendicularly to the plane of the workpiece’s surface, which
produces vertically-aligned holes with diameters equal to the diameter of the drill bit
employed for the drilling operation. However, angular drilling operations can also be
performed through the use of specialized machine configurations and workholding
devices. Operational capabilities of the drilling process include counterboring,
countersinking, reaming, and tapping.

CNC Milling :-
Milling is a machining process which employs rotating multi-point cutting tools to
remove material from the workpiece. In CNC milling, the CNC machine typically feeds
the workpiece to the cutting tool in the same direction as the cutting tool’s rotation,
whereas in manual milling the machine feeds the workpiece in the opposite direction
to the cutting tool’s rotation. Operational capabilities of the milling process include
face milling—cutting shallow, flat surfaces and flat-bottomed cavities into the
workpiece—and peripheral milling—cutting deep cavities, such as slots and threads,
into the workpiece.

CNC Turning :-
Turning is a machining process which employs single-point cutting tools to remove
material from the rotating workpiece. In CNC turning, the machine —typically a CNC
lathe machine—feeds the cutting tool in a linear motion along the surface of the
rotating workpiece, removing material around the circumference until the desired
diameter is achieved, to produce cylindrical parts with external and internal features,
such as slots, tapers, and threads. Operational capabilities of the turning process
include boring, facing, grooving, and thread cutting. When it comes down to a CNC
mill vs. lathe, milling, with its rotating cutting tools, works better for more complex
parts. However, lathes, with rotating workpieces and stationary cutting tools, work
best for faster, more accurate creation of round parts.

CHAPTER 5 : VMC MACHINE

5.1 What is a VMC Machine? :-

Vertical Machining Centers, also known as Vertical Milling Machines, create


holes in flat parts. The VMC technology is favored when three-axis work
i s do ne on a si n gl e f a c e, su c h a s i n-mo l d a nd di e wo r k s.

Multiple adjustments are available on VMCs. For example, on the worktable, there
are numerous angles of approach and rotating and other positioning devices. The
incorporated computerized controls enable automation, repeatability, tool selection/
change, and contour control. These new CNC machines raised the productivity of t
he “milling” machine to unprecedented heights, giving rise to the term VMC (Vertical
Machining Center).

Figure 13: VMC machine

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-5

5.2 What Is VMC Machining? :-


VMC machining refers to machining operations that utilize vertical machining
centers (VMCs), which, as the name suggests, have vertically oriented machine
tools. These machines are primarily utilized to turn raw blocks of metal, such as
aluminum or steel, nto machined components. They can be used to perform a
variety of machining operations, including, but not limited to, the following:
cutting, drilling, tapping, countersinking, chamfering, carving, and engraving.
This versatility, combined with their relatively low cost, has made them a highly
common machine shop tool.

5.3 How many axis are in vmc machines? :-


Mainly VMC Machines have only three axis that move on x, y and z axises.
On Standard VMCs the cutter stays in vertical directions. To increase the
benefits of VMC additional axis can be added.

5.4 Advantages of VMC Machining :-


Compared to horizontal machining centers, vertical machining centers offer a
number of advantages, such as:

Simpler structure. The simple structure of VMCs makes it easy to clamp


the workpiece in the necessary position.
Better cooling efficiency. Gravity works with the VMC design. Coolant sprayed
at the top of the machine tool and workpiece trickles down to cover the rest of the
target.
Easier setup and operation. VMCs have a wide field of vision, enabling operators
to observe the operations and, if needed, make modifications to resolve any issues.
Smaller space requirements. The vertical design takes up less floor space
than a horizontal design.
Higher accuracy. VMCs can produce complex shapes and structures with a
high degree of accuracy.

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-5

5.5 Applications of VMC Machining :-


Vertical machining centers can be used to manufacture parts and products for a wide
range of industries and applications. However, they are primarily used for high-
preci si on, high - acc uracy, and mass- produc ti on projects, i ncl udi ng
those involving the following machined components:

Complex curved parts. Examples of parts with complex curves include cams,
mpellers, and propellers. While these parts are difficult to manufacture with
precision and accuracy using conventional machining methods, a multi-axis
VMC with CNC technology can produce them easily and quickly.
Special or irregularly shaped parts. Examples of parts with irregular or special
shapes include brackets and bases. These components often have highly
complex designs, which are hard to produce using other manufacturing methods
but easy to produce using VMCs with automatic machining capabilities.
Military parts. The military industry is subjected to a variety of standards that
dictate how a part can be designed and built. The accuracy and
precision of VMCs ensure the machined components produced
fully meet the necessary application and industry specifications.

5.6 Disadvantages of Vertical Machining Centers :-

Limited Space

One of the primary disadvantages of vertical machining centres is that they are
limited in terms of the amount of space they can take up. This is because vertical
machining centres typically have a smaller footprint than horizontal machining
centres. This can be an issue for manufacturers with limited space in their facilities.

Limited Workpiece Size

Another disadvantage of vertical machining centres is that they are typically


limited in terms of the workpiece size that they can accommodate. This is because
vertical machining centres usually have smaller beds than horizontal machining
centres. This can be an issue for manufacturers who need to machine large
workpieces.

GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY KJ INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING


CHAPTER-5

Limited Tool Capacity

Another disadvantage of vertical machining centres is that they typically have a


smaller tool capacity than horizontal machining centres. This means
manufacturers who use vertical machining centres may need to change tools
more frequently than those who use horizontal machining centres.
This can lead to increased downtime and decreased productivity.

Increased Vibration

Another disadvantage of vertical machining centres is that they tend to vibrate


more than horizontal machining centres. This vibration can reduce accuracy and
increase wear on tooling and fixtures. Additionally, this vibration can be
an issue for manufacturers machining delicate parts or components.

Higher Operating Costs

Another disadvantage of vertical machining centres is that they typically have


higher operating costs than horizontal machining centres. This is because vertical
machining centres require more energy to use and often require unique cooling
systems to prevent overheating.

manufacturers look for ways to increase productivity and efficiency while
reducing downtime and maintenance requirements. As technology continues to
advance, VMC machines are expected to become even more capable and
versatile, with improved accuracy and precision and the ability to perform even
more complex cutting and machining operations.

5.9 Types of VMC Machines:-


There are several types of VMC machines available, including:

3-axis VMC machines: These machines have three axes of motion and
a r e d e s i g n e d f o r b a s i c m i l l i n g a n d d r i l l i n g o p e r a t i o n s . 4-
axis VMC machines: These machines have four axes of motion and are designed for
more complex milling and drilling operations, as well as rotary operations. 5-axis
VMC machines: These machines have five axes of motion and are designed for
even more complex cutting and machining operations, including contouring and
sculpting operations.

5.10 Conclusion :-
VMC machines are a vital tool for modern manufacturers, offering a wide range
of advantages over traditional machining methods. With their increased
accuracy and precision, increased productivity, improved efficiency, reduced
downtime, and increased versatility, VMC machines are an essential tool for
manufacturers looking to stay competitive in today's rapidly changing
manufacturing landscape.
