Performance Characteristics of a Cam Turning Attachment


LT Tuleun

Abstract

A modification of a cylindrical turning unit has been done to give a non-cylindrical turning attachment for production of irregular shapes, like cams on the lathe machine. To assess the performance of the attachment, cutting forces have been measured using a 'Sigma' Cutting Tool Dynamometer. Furthermore, the effect of cutting parameters, such as, cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate on the cutting forces, machining power and specific cutting energy have been investigated.
