Lathe Machine Lab
WEEKLY REPORT – LATHE MANUFACTURING LAB (MEFB 121) GROUP 3 REV NO : 000 DATE : 11 NOVEMBER 2011
2. PURPOSE The purpose of this activity are to verifies various type of lathe and their basic construction. Apart from that, it also make us to be familiar for cutting and turning process In lathe. 3. EQUIPMENT Less tool are required to perform lathe activity. This is due to lathe machine itself provide a lot of multifunction features that can obtain various desired outcome for a workpiece. 3.1) Vernier caliper We used vernier caliper to measure the size of the object .Beside that ,it can be used to measure the length of the object, which specific size is 100mm and 25mm in diameter. 3.2) Lathe Machine
A lathe is a machine tool which rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation.Lathes are used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, and glassworking. Lathes can be used to shape pottery, the best-known design being the potter's wheel. Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The material can be held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can be moved horizontally to accommodate varying material lengths. Other workholding methods include clamping the work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or collet, or to a faceplate, using clamps or dogs.
