Design and Fabrication Of Gear and Spline Cutting Attachment for Lathe

Design and Fabrication Of Gear and Spline Cutting Attachment In Lathe 

Abstract

Mechanical engineering without production and manufacturing is meaningless and inseparable. 
Production and manufacturing process deals with conversation of raw materials inputs to finished products as per required dimensions specifications and efficiently using recent technology.

Working

In this project End mill cutter (tool) is fixed in lathe chuck and job is fixed over the compound slide by gear cutting attachment.

This fixture has spindle with indexing plate, here job is hold rigidly in spindle itself Feed is given by cross slide movement. And depth of cut is given by movement of carriage. When cutter rotate at 1100 Rpm. Angular splines also done by this .indexing can be done with the aid of indexing plate
 

Advantage

1) Fixture cost is low
2) No need of purchase special machine for this
3) Production cost is low
 

Disadvantage

1) Accuracy is little bit low
