Projects Based On Design and Fabrication

The document describes the design and fabrication of a gear and spline cutting attachment for use on a lathe. The attachment allows the lathe to cut gears or splines on cylindrical workpieces. It holds the workpiece rigidly while an end mill cutter in the lathe chuck cuts the gears or splines. The feed is given through cross slide movement and depth of cut is controlled through carriage movement. The attachment offers low cost compared to using a special machine and allows the versatile lathe to perform gear cutting operations. However, accuracy may be slightly lower than using a dedicated gear cutting machine.

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.

Our project design and fabrication of spline (gear) cutting attachment is used to cut gear
or splines over the cylindrical job. Our main aim is prove lathe is a versatile machine. So
this gear cutting operation is done by lathe itself.

3D Assembly Of Fixture

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. 
Working Of Gear and Spline Cutting Attachment For Lathe
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
