• Production Engineering:
It is a combination of manufacturing technology, engineering sciences
with management science. A production engineer typically has a wide
knowledge of engineering practices and is aware of the management
challenges related to production.
• Purpose:
Production engineers will have design duties related to materials,
processes and work flows. They perform these duties using drafting
tools and design software such as CAD. Production engineers
must develop efficient design and manufacturing methods to find the
right balance between cost, safety and quality.
• Factors:
The factors of production are:
• Land
• Labor
• Capital
• Entrepreneurship
• Manufacturing Processes:
A manufacturing process converts unfinished materials to finished products, often using
machines or machine tools. For example, injection molding, die casting, progressive
stamping, milling, arc welding, painting and assembling are commonly called processes or
manufacturing processes.
• Manufacturing Support
System:
To operate its facilities efficiently, a company must organize itself to design the
processes and equipment, plan and control the production orders, and satisfy product
quality requirements. These functions are accomplished by manufacturing support
systems— people and procedures by which a company manages its production
operations. Most of these support systems do not directly contact the product, but they
plan and control its progress through the factory. Manufacturing support functions are
often carried out in the firm by people organized into departments such as the
following:
• Manufacturing engineering. The manufacturing engineering department is
responsible for planning the manufacturing processes—deciding what processes
should be used to make the parts and assemble the products. This department is also
involved in designing and ordering the machine tools and other equipment used by
the operating departments to accomplish processing and assembly.
• Production planning and control. This department is responsible for solving the
logistics problem in manufacturing—ordering materials and purchased parts,
scheduling production, and making sure that the operating departments have the
necessary capacity to meet the production schedules.
• Quality control. Producing high-quality products should be a top priority of any
manufacturing firm in today’s competitive environment. It means designing and
building products that conform to specifications and satisfy or exceed customer
expectations. Much of this effort is the responsibility of the QC department.
Cutting tools
Introduction to metal cutting
process
By using various types of process, the metals are removed from work piece to
obtain require shape and size. That are classified as below (i) non cutting
process (ii) cutting process. For generally, the metals are shaped in require form
under the action of force and heating. That is no any cutting of metal, chip
formation removal. So, this method of no cutting process. The process such
as forging, drawing, spinning, rolling, extrusion are non cutting process. The
metal of removed and become with required shape and size to be obtained. So
the unwanted metal removing from the work piece is called the form of chip.
The various cutting process obtained such as turning, drilling, boring, shaping,
milling and etc. For generally edge of cutting tools having harder than the work
piece metal. The various metal cutting process done by the relative motion
between work piece and cutting tools.
The relative motion may be occurred during metal cutting process as follows:
• The rotation of work against the cutting tools. Example – turning
• The rotation of tools against the work piece. Ex: milling and drilling
• The linear motion of work against the cutting tool. Ex: planning
• The linear motion of tools obtain against the work. Ex: shaping.
• Flank: surface/ surfaces below & adjacent to cutting edge is flank of tool.
• Nose: It is formed at junction of side & end cutting edges. This junction/ nose has
a curve of small radius, know as nose radius.
• Cutting Edge: It is the edge on the face of the tool which removes the material
from the work piece. The cutting edge consists of the side cutting edge(major
cutting edge) and cutting edge(minor cutting edge) and the nose.
Single point cutting tool
Three ways of holding and presenting the cutting edge for a single-point tool:
(a) solid tool, typical of HSS;
(b) brazed insert, one way of holding a cemented carbide insert; and
(c) mechanically clamped insert, used for cemented carbides, ceramics,
Common insert shapes:
(a) round, (b) square, (c) rhombus with two 80 point angles, (d) hexagon with three
80 point angles, (e) triangle (equilateral), (f) rhombus with two 55 point angles, (g)
rhombus with two 35 point angles. Also shown are typical features of the geometry.
1.Side Cutting Edge Angle:
The angle between side cutting edge and the side of the tool shank is
called side cutting edge angle.
2.End Cutting Edge Angle:
The angle between the end cutting edge and a line perpendicular to the
shank of the tool shank is called end cutting edge angle.
3. Side Relief Angle:
The angle between the portion of the side flank immediately below the
side cutting edge and a line perpendicular to the base of the tool.
4.End Relief Angle:
The angle between the end flank and the line perpendicular to the base of
the tool is called end relief angle.
5.Back Rake Angle:
The angle between the face of the tool and line perpendicular to the base of the
tool measures on perpendicular plane through the side cutting edge.
6.Side Rake Angle:
The angle between the face of the tool and a line parallel to the base of the tool
measured on plane perpendicular to the base and the side edge.
