UNIT 3 Shaper - Types of operations. Drilling, reaming, boring, Tapping. Milling operations-types of milling cutter. Gear cutting – forming and generation principle and construction of gear milling, hobbing and gear shaping processes –finishing of gears.
SHAPER Shaper, planner and slotter are used for machining flat surface which may be horizontal, vertical or inclined surfaces. Single point cutting tools are mainly used in these machines. Drilling, grinding, boring, milling and broaching machines are not used for machining flat surfaces but they are performing specific operations by using a multi point cutting tool
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The shaper having a reciprocating type of machine tool with single point cutting tool is used to produce flat surfaces. It has the three important parts such as Table Tool head Ram
MACHINING THE VARIOUS TYPE OF FLAT SURFACES The table is moved cross wise direction to machine the horizontal surfaces. The tool head is moved perpendicular to the table in downward direction to machine the vertical surfaces. The tool head is fed at an angle to produce inclined surfaces.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHAPER According to the type of driving mechanism Crank drive type Whit worth driving mechanism Hydraulic drive type According to the position of ram Horizontal shaper Vertical shaper Travelling head shaper According to the table design Plain shaper Universal shaper According to the type of cutting stroke Push out type Draw cut type
PRINCIPLE PARTS OF A SHAPER The different parts of a shaper are listed Base Column Cross rail Saddle Table Ram Tool head

SHAPER SPECIFICATION Maximum length of stroke Maximum crosswise movement of the table Maximum vertical adjustment of the table Type of driving mechanism Power of the motor Available speed and feed Type of shaper-plain or universal Floor space required Total weight of the shaper Ratio of cutting stroke time and return stroke time
TYPE OF QUICK RETURN MECHANISM The following are three types of quick return mechanism Hydraulic drive Crank and slotted link mechanism Whit worth quick return mechanism
DRILLING Drilling is the process of producing hole on the work piece by using a rotating cutter called drill. The machine on which the drilling is carried out is called drilling machine. Drilling machine can also used for boring, counter boring, counter sinking, reaming, tapping and spot facing operations.
CLASSIFICATION OF DRILLING MACHINE Portable drilling machine Sensitive drilling machine Bench type Floor type Upright drilling machine Round column type or pillar type Box column type or square section type Radial drilling machine Plain type Semi-universal type Universal type Gang drilling machine Multiple spindle drilling machine Automatic drilling machine Deep hole drilling machine
PORTABLE DRILLING MACHINE
SENSITIVE DRILLING MACHINE
UPRIGHT DRILLING MACHINE
RADIAL DRILLING MACHINE
PLAIN TYPE The following adjustments are available in this type Vertical movement of the radial arm with respect to the column Circular movement of the radial arm about the column Horizontal movement of the tool along the arm ways
SEMI UNIVERSAL TYPE In addition to the above three movements as in the case of plain type, the fourth movement of the tool post can be swung about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the arm. This arrangement permits for drilling a hole inclined at any angle to the horizontal plane
UNIVERSAL TYPE In addition to the above fourth movement as in the case of semi universal type, the fifth movement of the radial arm is rotated on a horizontal axis. All these movements enable the universal drilling machine to drill on a job at any angle in either horizontal plane or vertical plane or in both the planes.
MULTIPLE SPINDLE DRILLING MACHINE This machine is more suitable for mass production. In this machine, several holes of different sizes can simultaneously be drilled. It has several spindles. They are driven by a single motor by using set of gears . All spindles holding the drills are fed into the work at the same time. The feed is given either by raising the table or lowering the spindle head.
GANG DRILLING MACHINE When a number of single spindles with essential speed and feed are mounted side by side on one base and have a common worktable known as gang drilling machine
AUTOMATIC DRILLING MACHINE A series of drilling machines are arranged to perform more than one operation at a time in sequence of successive work stations is called automatic drilling machine.
DEEP HOLE DRILLING MACHINE Deep hole drilling machines are used when the drill hole depth exceeds the normal drill hole depth.
SPECIFICATION OF DRILLING MACHINE Maximum size of the drill in mm that the machine can be operated Table size of maximum dimensions of a job can mount on a table in square metre. Maximum spindle travel in mm The number of spindle speed and range of spindle speeds are in rpm Power input of the machine is in HP Floor space required Net weight of the machine
MOUNTING THE DRILL TOOL Both taper shank and straight shank drills can be mounted on the drilling machine spindle in a number of ways. Fitting directly in the spindle By using a sleeve By using a socket By means of chucks
BORING Boring is the process of enlarging and locating previously drilled holes with a single point cutting tool.

JIG BORING MACHINE A jig boring machine is a precision boring machine used for boring accurate holes at centre to centre distances. There are mainly two types of jig boring machines Single vertical column type Planer type
MILLING Milling is the process of removing metal by feeding the work past against a rotating multipoint cutter. The metal is removed in the form of small chips .
SPECIFICATION OF MILLING MACHINE The table length and width Maximum longitudinal cross and vertical travel of the table Number of spindle speeds and feeds Power of driving motor Floor space required Type of milling machine
CLASSIFICATION OF MILLING MACHINE Column and knee types Plain milling machine vertical milling machine Universal milling machine Ram type milling machine omniversal milling machine Bed type milling machine Simplex milling machine Duplex milling machine Triplex milling machine Plano-type milling machine Special purpose milling machine Rotary table milling machine Drum milling machine Profile milling machine

GEAR GENERATION PRINCIPLE AND CONSTRUCTION OF GEAR MILLING The common gear generation processes are given below Gear shaping process Gear planning process Gear hobbing process
GEAR SHAPING PROCESS
APPLICATIONS Gear shaping is used for generating both internal and external spur gears. Helical gears can also be generated using special attachments.
GEAR PLANNING PROCESS
GEAR HOBBING PROCESS
FINISHING OF GEARS Generally the gear teeth are produced by any one of the generating processes, but the gear does not be more accurate with good quality surface. The rough surface gear teeth occur due to vibrations causing noise, excessive wear, play and backlash between meshing pair of gears. Therefore, the gear finishing is carried at last in gear manufacturing.
