FAQ:
Q1: What is turn in lathe?
A: What is Turning? Turning is a machining process used to make cylindrical parts, where the cutting tool moves in a linear fashion while the workpiece rotates. Commonly performed with a lathe, turning reduces the diameter of a workpiece, typically to a specified dimension, and produces a smooth part finish.
Q2: What is step turning process?
A: Step turning is a turning process in which series of steps having different diameters is produced with the lathe machine. Procedure. Fix the cylindrical workpiece into the chuck and secure it properly.
Q3: What are the advantages of turning?
A: Advantages of the turning process:
-All materials are compatible.
-Very good tolerance.
-Short lead time.
-No high skilled operator required.
-The material removal rate is flexible.
Q4: What are the three main movements of turning operations?
A: Therefore, there are three basic movements: Rotation movement: The part to be mechanized is placed on a rotating shaft, making it rotates around itself. Advanced movement: The tool moves parallel to the piece, making a straight movement that defines the machining contour.
Q5: What is spark machining?
A: Spark machining is a Substractive machining process that attains the desired shape by producing sparks that melt tiny portions of a metal workpiece. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is another term for that method, spark eroding, burning, die sinking, wire burning, and wire erosion.
Q6: What are two types of EDM machines?
A: Conventional EDM Machines. Conventional EDM also goes by several other names, such as sinker EDM, die sinking, cavity-type EDM, volume EDM and ram EDM.
Wire EDM Machines. Wire EDM, also known as spark EDM, wire burning and wire erosion, uses a thin heated wire as an electrode.
Q7: How accurate is spark erosion?
A: Solid sink spark erosion can deliver accuracy between 0.020mm and 0.050mm, often faster, more economically, and with greater guarantees of accuracy than conventional machining techniques.
