Economics of Machining | Machine Tools | Industrial Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the economics of machining. It is not sufficient to devise a feasible procedure for a desired component or commodity. The procedure must be economically justified. The variables affecting the economics of a machining operation are numerous which include the tool material, machine tool capacity and the cutting conditions. As these variables are readily [...]

Structure of ECM Machine | Machining | Industrial Engineering

The typical ECM machine consists of a table for mounting the workpiece. The tool is mounted on a quill fixed on a ram. Vertical box frame structure has excellent rigidity required and is best suited for precision work. Vertical C-frame structure has less rigidity but offers greater accessibility to the workpiece and tooling. The machine base, worktable and all other [...]

Plasma Arc Machining (PAM) | Methods | Machining | Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the meaning and characteristics of Plasma Arc Machining (PAM) in industries. Meaning of Plasma Arc Machining (PAM): When a flowing gas is heated to a sufficiently high temperature of the order of 16,500°C to become partially ionised, it is known as 'plasma'. In this process heat for machining is produced by convection from [...]
