The carriage of a lathe

The carriage of a lathe has several parts that serve to support, move and control the cutting tool. It consists of the following parts: 1.Saddle 2.Cross-slide 3.Compound slide or compound rest 4.Tool post and 5.Apron Saddle The saddle is an H-shaped casting that fits over the bed and slides along the ways. It carries the cross slide and tool post. Some means are generally provided for locking the saddle to prevent any movement when surfacing operations are carried out. The cross slide The cross-slide comprises a casting machined on the under aside for attachment to the saddle and carries locations on the upper face the tool post or compound rest. The crosspiece of the saddle is mechanized with a dovetail way, at right angles to the center axis of the lathe, which serves to guide the cross-slide itself. The compound rest The compound rest or compound slide is a mounted on the top of the cross-slide and has a circular base graduated in degrees. It is used for obtaining angular cuts and short taper as well as convenient positioning of the tool to work. By loosening two setscrews, which fit in a v- grove around the compound-rest base, the rest slide may be swiveled to any angle within circle. There is no power feed to the compound rest and it is hand operated. The compound rest handle is also equipped with a micrometer dial to assist in determining the depth of the cut. After necessary setting the compound slide is locked solid with its base. The tool post This is located on the top of the compound rest to hold the tool enable it to be adjusted to a convenient working position. Following are the common tool post: 1.Single screw tool post 2.Four bolt tool post 3.Open side tool post 4.Four way tool post The apron The apron is fastened to the saddle and hangs over the front of the bed. It contains gears, clutches, and levers for operating the carriage by hand and power feeds. The e apron also contains function clutches for automatic feeds. In addition, there is a split nut which engages, when required with the lead screw, when cutting either internal or external threads. The lay out of the apron includes an inter locking device which prevents the simultaneous engagement of the feed shaft and the lead screw. The apron handle wheel can turned to move the carriage back and forth longitudinally by hand. The complementary motion to this is obtained by the cross- feed handle, which moves the cross- slide back and forth across the saddle. The handle wheel is connected via a pinion meshing with a rack fitted to the lathe bed Usually a chasing dial or thread cutting dial is fitted either to the side or top of the apron and consists of a graduated dial. It has entirely independent drive provided by a worm wheel, which is a constant mesh with the lead screw.

Pin Point Gate Plastic Injection Molding

Used mainly for thin walled products with a frequency-lawyer-an injection of at least 3-4 times per minute, or a maximum cycle time 15-20 seconds a mold cavity with pin point gate. Material which is the injection into the cavity directly derived from the nozzle G, where the drop in temperature as well as barriers pengalirannya very small, so the size of the gate can be made small. Table 3.1 above can be used as guidance in determining the diameter of the gate d. -injection material in the cavity before reaching the runners will pass through the channel C first. The longer the runner channel, the temperature of the material tip of the flow would be decreased, so it will be difficult to pass through the narrow gate. Pouch runner dimasudkan D material to trap and hold the channel tip, so the material that will go through the gate, pretty good. Regarding the size of the gate, but is determined by the weight of products such as Table 3.1 above, is also affected by the condition and the condition of the bend cross-section and length of the runner. As a measure of onset, can be taken from table 3.1 size plus 20%. After ditrial if showing signs of too little gate as described in advance, gate be enlarged as necessary

Ribs and Gussets

When designing ribs and gussets, it is important to follow the proportional thickness guidelines shown in Figures 29 and 30. If the rib or gusset is too thick in relationship to the part wall, sinks, voids, warpage, weld lines (all resulting in high amounts of molded-in stress), longer cycle times can be expected. The location of ribs and gussets also can affect mold design for the part. Keep gate location in mind when designing ribs or gussets. For more information on gate location, see page 66. Ribs well-positioned in the line of flow, as well as gussets, can improve part filling by acting as internal runners. Poorly placed or ill-designed ribs and gussets can cause poor filling of the mold and can result in burn marks on the finished part. These problems generally occur in isolated ribs or gussets where entrapment of air becomes a venting problem. Note: It is further recommended that the rib thickness at the intersection of the nominal wall not exceed one-half of the nominal wall in HIGHLY COSMETIC areas. For example, in Figure 29, the dimension of the rib at the intersection of the nominal wall should not exceed one-half of the nominal wall. Experience shows that violation of this rule significantly increases the risk of rib read-through (localized gloss gradient difference).
