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

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) ...

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 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...

“Equalizer connection is needed in lap winding armature but not in wave winding “ why ?

The equivalent circuit of a four point – pole dynamo with a simplex winding. The voltage induced in each path is assumed to both to be same and should be if the reluctance of each magnetic path is the same, so that the lines of flux cut by each inductor of each path are the same. However wear of the bearings or deflection of the armature shaft may cause the armature to be closer to some poles and farther from others, thus changing the length of the air gap, and therefore the reluctance of the magnetic circuits of the poles is not identical. This factors cause the voltage in the materials making up the magnetic circuit. These factors cause the voltage in each parallel path differ, and the unequal voltages in turn cause flow of a circulating current through the windings and brushes , undue heating of the armature and waste the power. To reduce the circulating current, points on the winding which should be at the same potentials are brought to the same potentials by c...

3-2-1 Locating Principle. Why generally in base plane three locating pins are used?

3-2- 1 Method of Location: 3-2- 1 method of location is the fundamental arrangement of locating system. A work piece may be positively and properly located by means of six pins,so positioned that collectively they restrict the work piece in nine of it’s degree of freedom.For this purpose a definite arrangement is used.This arrangement is called 3-2-1 method of location. Cause of using three locating pins in base plane : A minimum of three points or pins or locators are generally used in base plane to locate the work piece, although four or more may be used to provide adequate support. It should be noted that a minimum of three pins will always theoritically establish the same location of the work piece. four or more pins(locators)don’t establish this type of theoritical location because if the work piece surface is not geometrically true, the position is still determined by three pins. Three pining system create one surface w...
