MILLINGMilling: is a metal cutting operation in which the excess material from the work piece is removed by rotating multipoint cutting tool called milling cutter.

Milling machine: is a power operated machine tool in which work piece mounted on a moving table is machined to various shapes when moved under a slow revolving serrated cutter.

PRINCIPLE OF MILLING

COMPARISON BETWEEN UP MILLING & DOWN MILLING

SL. NO.

UP MILLING(CONVENTIONAL

MILLING)

DOWN MILLING(CLIMB MILLING)

01 Work piece fed in the opposite direction that of the cutter.

Work piece fed in the same direction that of the cutter.

02 Chips are progressively thicker.

Chips are progressively thinner.

03 Strong clamping is required since the cutting force is directed upwards & tends to lift the work piece.

Strong clamping is not required since the cutting force is directed downwards & keep the work piece pressed to the table.

04 Gives poor surface finish, since chips gets accumulated at the cutting zone.

Gives good surface finish, since the chips are thrown away during cutting.

05 Used for hard materials. Used for soft materials and finishing operations.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL MILLING MACHINES

SL. NO. HORIZONTAL MILLING MACHINE VERTICAL MILLING MACHINE

01 Spindle is horizontal & parallel to the worktable.

Spindle is vertical & perpendicular to the worktable.

02 Cutter cannot be moved up & down.

Cutter can be moved up & down.

03 Cutter is mounted on the arbor.

Cutter is directly mounted on the spindle.

04 Spindle cannot be tilted. Spindle can be tilted for angular cutting.

05

Operations such as plain milling, gear cutting, form milling, straddle milling, gang milling etc., can be performed.

Operations such as slot milling, T-slot milling, angular milling, flat milling etc., can be performed and also drilling, boring and reaming can be carried out.

SPECIFICATIONS OF MILLING MACHINE

1. Size of the work table: expressed in length x width Eg: 1500 x 30mm.

2. Longitudinal movement: Total movement of table in mm(X-direction). Eg:800mm

3. Transverse movement: Total movement of saddle along with table in mm(Y-direction). Eg:200mm

4. Vertical movement: Total movement of table, saddle & knee in mm mm(Z-direction). Eg:380mm

5. Range of the speed: Speed variation in the gear box in RPM. Eg: 45 to 200 rpm.

6. Power capacity of the motor in HP. Eg: 2 HP

GRINDING(Abrasive machining)

• Grinding is a surface finishing operation where very thin layer of material is removed in the form of fine dust particles. (thickness 0.25-0.5mm)

• Grinding can be defined as a material removal process by the abrasive action between rotating abrasive wheel & the work piece.

• Grinding machine is a power operated machine tool where, the work piece is fed against a constantly rotating abrasive wheel which is also called as Grinding wheel so that a thin layer of material is removed from the work piece.

ABRASIVES

• Abrasives: These are the mineral materials employed for sharpening, grinding & polishing operations.

• Abrasives are classified as natural & artificial.

• Natural Abrasives: Emery, Corundum, Diamond etc,.

• Artificial Abrasives: Silicon Carbide(SiC), Aluminum Oxide(Al2O3), Cubic Boron Nitride(CBN) etc,.

Bonding materials & Process

• Vitrified Process: Abrasive+ Fed spar & clay, heated at higher temperatures in kilns.75-80% of grinding wheels are made by this process.

• Silicate Process: Abrasive+ Silicate of soda. Baked @ 260°C for 20 to 80 Hrs.

• Elastic Process: Abrasives + Shellac. Baked @150°C for few hours.

• Vulcanite or Rubber Process: Abrasive+ Pure rubber+ Sulphur.

Work Piece Type: Cylindrical surfaces may be straight, curved or contoured.

FIG. CYLINDRICAL GRINDING MACHINE

CENTERLESS GRINDING MACHINE

FIG. PRINCIPLE OF CENTERLESS GRINDING

Principle: The work piece is placed on work rest blade between two wheels namely grinding & regulating wheel, which are rotating in clockwise & work piece rotates counter clockwise. Grinding wheel remove material from W/P surface & regulating wheel regulates the W/P.

Centerless: Means work piece is not held between centers.
