Development of a new machining setup for energy efficient turning process

摘要

Quality is an important concept which play significant role in today's manufacturing market. From customers' point of view quality is very important because the extent of quality of the procured item (or product) influences the degree of satisfaction of the consumers during usage of the procured goods. So, every manufacturing unit must concern about the quality of the product. Apart from quality, there exists another criterion, called productivity which is directly related to the profit level and also good will of the organization. So as days gets enrolled manufacturing Industry started aiming at producing a large number of products within relatively lesser conservation of energy. In the production unit, lathe is one of the important protection machines. This paper focuses on producing a quality product in lathe machine with less power consumption. In order to achieve that, a special setup is developed in the lathe machine for simultaneous turning and finishing of the components, to achieve quality product and also to improve the productivity. As a result of this new approach, profuse amount of energy can be saved, quality product can be obtained and tool life can be increased. The study aimed at evaluating the best process environment which could simultaneously satisfy requirements of both quality and as well as productivity. By conducting many experiments it was found that this special setup process improvers the quality and also reduces the power consumption as compared with the existing process.
