Operation :- Boring, Facing, Drilling, Reaming.


5) Mechanical planer (KANEKOPLANER): 

Planer is a large machine that is designed for producing flat surfaces on a piece of work. A planer is designed with a stationary housing for holding tool heads and a table with a reciprocating movement for holding the work, thus the work is moved against the cutting tool. A shaper differs from a planer in that the work is held stationary and the cutting tool is moved across the work. The planer is a large machine design to do jobs that would be too large too awkward for a shaper. Here feed is given in cutting tool. It’s main power come from belt. A planer cutting only one way. 

 Operation : Slot cutting, gear pinion- angle preparing, grinding and parting

Why a dc generator fails to build up voltage?

How can the problem be remedied : No residual magnetism, reversed field connection and high resistance of field circuit are responsible for the failure of build up process of a dc generator. The factors are explained below: No residual magnetism:    For the starting build up process requires some residual magnetism in the magnetic circuit then no voltage will be generated that can produce current flow through field circuit. Reversed field connection:    The voltage induced inside the coil of field circuit due to residual magnetism that can permit the flow of current. For the following direction of this flux will be created and the direction of this flux will be same direction as the residual flux. If the field connections are reversed the lines of flux produced by current flow will oppose the residual flux, as a result generate voltage will decrease rather than increase. So voltage build up process failed. Field circuit resistance too high:   A field

How to Calculate Heat Rate of Generator Engine?

Packing, Seals and Gaskets

Packing, seal and gasket resists the flow of fluid from machinery face, head, joint and machinery gap or clearance. Packing materials: Fiber, asbestos, cotton, synthetic materials, plastic, Teflon, graphite etc. Packing structure: Twisted, Braided and Consolidated. Gasket:             A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. Gaskets allow " less-than-perfect " mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, cork, felt, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, or a plastic polymer (such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene)                                                                                                Figure : Gaskets Name of the gasket                       uses

What are the main components of Automobile?

  There have five basic parts for Automobile and they are given bellow: 1.      Engine: Engine which is known to all as a power plant. Engine is the source of power which makes the car wheels rotate and the car move where it supply power to lubricating, fuel, electric and cooling systems. 2.      Frame:   Frame support the engine, body and wheels. 3.      Power train: Power train transmit the power engine to the car wheels where its contain clutch, transmission, propeller shaft, axles and differential.  4.      Car Body 5.      Car body accessories: A car body accessory contains the heater, lights, radio, windshield wiper and convertible top raiser.

what is the difference between long shunt and short shunt dc generator?

How do they differ from normal generator?    Draw their V-I characteristics and explain them? In short shunt connection the shunt field is connected directly across the armature terminals and the armature connection equals the sum of the shunt field current plus the load current . In this instance the load current flow s through the series field winding so that the load current and series field current are one and same.              In long shunt connection the voltage across the shunt field is the same as the terminal voltage of the generator and current in the armature will be the current in the series field. The armature current equals the shunt field current plus the load current.   A shunt generator has the field circuit connected directly across the armature. As more devices connected in parallel the load on the generator increases that the generator current increases which results decrease in terminal voltage of the generator.  

Definition of Dwell Angle, Spark Angle, Firing order and Heat Path/spark plug reach

Dwell angle: It is the amount of time in degrees that contact point remain closed between each opening is called dwell angle.  Spark angle: Spark plug is a device which device electric current from ignition system to combust on chamber of a S.I engine to ignite the compressed air fuel mixture in the form of spark at the end of compression stroke.  Heat path/spark plug reach: Heat range is cylinder to heat combustion chamber. Firing order: Firing order is defined as the order on sequence in which firing takes place in every cylinder of a multi-cylinder engine.

Therbligs and Basic 17 motion name of therblig

Therbligs : A graphical representation of the co-ordinated activities of an operators body members. These activities ar described in terms of basic or fundamental motions known as therbligs.                                         At the time Frank Gilbreth was doing his work in the field of motion study, he also concluded that any manual activity could be described in terms of 17 fundamental motions. This comparable to our being able to describe every word in the English language in terms of some of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Each of these fundamental motions is called a Therblig.

what is PIV drive? Why is PIV drive more effective than any other system of drive?

PIV Drive: A stepless drive where the transmission of torque takes place infinitly variable without   slip is called PIV drive. There are some advantages of PIV drive: there is no slip in the transmission of power. Maximum transmission of power. Speed can be changed at running condition Any range of slip can be obtain It give constant cutting speed for the above reason PIV drive is more effective than any other system   of drive

Differentiate among progressive die, compound die and combination die.

Progressive die : The dies which performed two or more operations at different stages every time the ram descends is known as Progressive die.   The principle advantage of Progressive die is in the number of operations that can be achieved with one handling of the stock strip. The main disadvantage is that work pieces may become “dished” as they pushed through the die as they generally have very little support. Compound die : A compound die differs from a progressive die in that it performs two or more cutting operations during one stroke of the press at one station only.   Compound dies are slower in operation than progressive dies but they have advantages for certain jobs, especially where tolerance are close (1) the cutting operation, by the action of the knockout plate ,ensures flatness of the blank.2 Large parts can be blanked in a smaller press if compound dies rather than progressive dies are   used. Combination dies:   A die in which a cuttin
