ME18402 - MACHINE Tools and Machining Process Assignment - 2

This document discusses various workholding devices used on milling/drilling machines and lathes. It describes T-slots, angle plates, V-blocks, and parallel bars used on milling machines to securely hold workpieces. For lathes, it outlines chucks, mandrels, and centers to grip cylindrical work. Chucks are divided into three, four jaw, magnetic, and collet types. The document also defines jigs as workholding devices that locate and guide tools, while fixtures only locate and support workpieces.

Milling/Drilling Machine Workholding
Devices
> T-Slots - All the workpieces or workholding tools installed on the milling
table are held in position with the help of the table T-slots.

 Angle Plates - Table slotted angle plates are used in setups when the
workpiece being machine needs to be held at a true 90 degrees angle
to the table.

These plates are heavy and available in a wide array of sizes.


When angle plates are used, the work is generally clamped or bolted to
the T-plate.
Milling/Drilling Machine Workholding
Devices
> V-Blocks - Vee blocks are generally used when the workpiece
has a cylindrical shape, such as bars. Their design allows them
to locate the Y-axis center quickly and accurately.

> Parallel Bars - Parallels are often used with vises to hold
the work at a height off the bottom of the vise, giving
clearance for side milling and through-hole drilling.
Lathe Workholding Devices
> Chucks - Chucks are probably the most widely
adopted type of workholding device on the lathe.
They are efficient and accurate and work well
with most types of workpieces.

Chucks can be divided into four main types:

Three Jaw Chucks – self-centering and hold


regular shapes, such as round or hexagonal
workpieces.
Four Jaw Chucks – not self-centering and hold
eccentric or irregular workpieces.
Magnetic Chucks - hold the job by magnetic
force.
Collet Chucks - used for holding small or very
long workpieces.
Lathe Workholding Devices
> Mandrels - Mandrels, also called arbors, are used to hold
previously drilled or bored holes for outer surface machining.
The workpiece is loaded over the mandrels between the
centers. Mandrels are generally tapered, and their ends are
slightly smaller than the original diameter for effective
gripping.

> Centers - Centers are useful in holding the work in a lathe


between centers. The shank of a center has Morse taper on it
and the face is conical in shape. There are two types of centers.

Live center – rotates with the work


Dead center – doesn’t rotate with the workpiece
Jigs and Fixtures
A jig is a workholding device that holds, supports and locates
the workpiece and guides the cutting tool for a specific
operation. A device that does both functions (holding the work
and guiding a tool) is called a jig.

A fixture is a workholding device that holds, supports and


locates the workpiece for a specific operation but does not
guide the cutting tool. A jig differs from a fixture in that it
guides the tool to its correct position in addition to locating
and supporting the workpiece.
