Machining

In the field of mechanical engineering, “Machine” is defined as an assembly of mechanisms that are clustered together in such a way that it can perform certain operations by utilizing electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic power, and thereby reduces the requirement of human effort and intervention in doing the task. However, “Machine Tool” is not exactly same with the machine. The term Machine includes wide variety of machinery, whereas Machine

Machining

In the field of mechanical engineering, Machine is defined as an assembly of mechanisms that are clustered together to perform certain operations by utilizing electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and/or pneumatic power. Total number of mechanisms exist within a machine may vary from just few to few hundreds! Accordingly size of a machine also varies. Some machines, irrespective of their size, are portable. For example, a hand drill (small machine) and a

Machining

Machining is basically one material removal process where excess material is sheared off by the mutual interaction between workpiece and cutting tool. There exist several machining processes to cater the need of processing a wide variety of workpiece materials in innumerable ways. For examples, lathe operations (such as straight turning, taper turning, internal turning, threading, grooving, etc.) are primarily carried out to generate cylindrical or conical surfaces. Milling operations are
