Manufacturing Time Manufacturing Time = Machining Time + Setup Time + Moving Time + Waiting Time Example A mild steel rod having 50 mm diameter and 500 mm length is to be turned on a lathe. Determine the machining time to reduce the rod to 45 mm in one pass when cutting speed is 30 m/min and a feed of 0.7 mm/rev is used. Example Given data: D = 50 mm, Lj = 500 mm v = 30 m/min, f = 0.7 mm/rev Substituting the values of v and D in v DN 1000 m/min calculate the required spindle speed as: N = 191 rpm Example Can a machine has speed of 191 rpm? Machining time: t t Lj f N min = 500 / (0.7191) = 3.74 minutes Example • Determine the angle at which the compound rest would be swiveled for cutting a taper on a workpiece having a length of 150 mm and outside diameter 80 mm. The smallest diameter on the tapered end of the rod should be 50 mm and the required length of the tapered portion is 80 mm. Example • Given data: D1 = 80 mm, D2 = 50 mm, Lj = 80 mm (with usual notations) tan = (80-50) / 280 • or = 10.620 • The compound rest should be swiveled at 10.62o Example • A 150 mm long 12 mm diameter stainless steel rod is to be reduced in diameter to 10 mm by turning on a lathe in one pass. The spindle rotates at 500 rpm, and the tool is traveling at an axial speed of 200 mm/min. Calculate the cutting speed, material removal rate and the time required for machining the steel rod. Example • Given data: Lj = 150 mm, D1 = 12 mm, D2 = 10 mm, N = 500 rpm • Using Equation (1) • v = 12500 / 1000 • = 18.85 m/min. • depth of cut = d = (12 – 10)/2 = 1 mm Example • feed rate = 200 mm/min, we get the feed f in mm/rev by dividing feed rate by spindle rpm. That is • f = 200/500 = 0.4 mm/rev • From Equation (4), • MRR = 3.142120.41500 = 7538.4 mm3/min • from Equation (8), • t = 150/(0.4500) = 0.75 min. Example • Calculate the time required to machine a workpiece 170 mm long, 60 mm diameter to 165 mm long 50 mm diameter. The workpiece rotates at 440 rpm, feed is 0.3 mm/rev and maximum depth of cut is 2 mm. Assume total approach and overtravel distance as 5 mm for turning operation. Example • Given data: Lj = 170 mm, D1 = 60 mm, D2 = 50 mm, N = 440 rpm, f = 0.3 mm/rev, d= 2 mm, • How to calculate the machining time when there is more than one operation? Example • Time for Turning: • Total length of tool travel = job length + length of approach and overtravel • L = 170 + 5 = 175 mm • Required depth to be cut = (60 – 50)/2 = 5 mm • Since maximum depth of cut is 2 mm, 5 mm cannot be cut in one pass. Therefore, we calculate number of cuts or passes required. • Number of cuts required = 5/2 = 2.5 or 3 (since cuts cannot be a fraction) • Machining time for one cut = L / (fN) • Total turning time = [L / (fN)] Number of cuts • = [175/(0.3440)] 3= 3.97 min. Example • Time for facing: • Now, the diameter of the job is reduced to 50 mm. Recall that in case of facing operations, length of tool travel is equal to half the diameter of the job. That is, l = 25 mm. Substituting in equation 8, we get • t = 25/(0.3440) • = 0.18 min. Example • Total time: • Total time for machining = Time for Turning + Time for Facing • = 3.97 + 0.18 • = 4.15 min. • The reader should find out the total machining time if first facing is done. Example • From a raw material of 100 mm length and 10 mm diameter, a component having length 100 mm and diameter 8 mm is to be produced using a cutting speed of 31.41 m/min and a feed rate of 0.7 mm/revolution. How many times we have to resharpen or regrind, if 1000 workpieces are to be produced. In the taylor’s expression use constants as n = 1.2 and C = 180 Example • Given D =10 mm , N = 1000 rpm, v = 31.41 m/minute • From Taylor’s tool life expression, we have vT n = C • Substituting the values we get, • (31.40)(T)1.2 = 180 • or T = 4.28 min Example • Machining time/piece = L / (fN) • = 100 / (0.71000) • = 0.142 minute. • Machining time for 1000 work-pieces = 1000 0.142 = 142.86 min • Number of resharpenings = 142.86/ 4.28 • = 33.37 or 33 resharpenings Example • 6: While turning a carbon steel cylinder bar of length 3 m and diameter 0.2 m at a feed rate of 0.5 mm/revolution with an HSS tool, one of the two available cutting speeds is to be selected. These two cutting speeds are 100 m/min and 57 m/min. The tool life corresponding to the speed of 100 m/min is known to be 16 minutes with n=0.5. The cost of machining time, setup time and unproductive time together is Rs.1/sec. The cost of one tool resharpening is Rs.20. • Which of the above two cutting speeds should be selected from the point of view of the total cost of producing this part? Prove your argument. Example • Given T1 = 16 minute, v1 = 100 m/minute, v2 = 57 m/minute, D = 200mm, l = 300 mm, f = 0.5 mm/rev • Consider Speed of 100 m/minute • N1 = (1000 v) / ( D) = (1000100) / (200) = 159.2 rpm • t1 = l / (fN) = 3000 / (0.5 159.2) = 37.7 minute • Tool life corresponding to speed of 100 m/minute is 16 minute. • Number of resharpening required = 37.7 / 16 = 2.35 • • or number of resharpenings = 2 Example • Total cost = • Machining cost + Cost of resharpening Number of resharpening • = 37.7601+ 202 • = Rs.2302 Example • Consider Speed of 57 m/minute • Using Taylor’s expression T2 = T1 (v1 / v2)2 with usual notations • = 16 (100/57)2 = 49 minute • Repeating the same procedure we get t2 = 66 minute, number of reshparpening=1 and total cost = Rs. 3980. • • The cost is less when speed = 100 m/minute. Hence, select 100 m/minute. Example • Write the process sequence to be used for manufacturing the component from raw material of 175 mm length and 60 mm diameter Example 20 Threading 50 40 Dia 50 40 50 20 Dia Example • To write the process sequence, first list the operations to be performed. The raw material is having size of 175 mm length and 60 mm diameter. The component shown in Figure 5.23 is having major diameter of 50 mm, step diameter of 40 mm, groove of 20 mm and threading for a length of 50 mm. The total length of job is 160 mm. Hence, the list of operations to be carried out on the job are turning, facing, thread cutting, grooving and step turning Example • A possible sequence for producing the component would be: • Turning (reducing completely to 50 mm) • Facing (to reduce the length to 160 mm) • Step turning (reducing from 50 mm to 40 mm) • Thread cutting. • Grooving
