MILLING MACHINE

Introduction
The machine is a milling machine. The machine is one of the many machines in the machining industry. In industry this machine is used for making works grind. Milling machines vary in their use of the tool and workpiece holding means. The tool used is a single type of tool or multi-tool type. Workpiece are pegged directly on the machine table.

Some of the work is done by machines Milling is: 1) Grind flat surface. This includes surface horizontal, vertical and angled or tilted surface. 2) 4) Cut off all kinds of edges, grooves and groove lock-T. With the head divisor, the same surface can be machined, for example, a square block, six square block and so on. Groove-groove includes straight and helical groove valleys such as gears, tapping, reaming, drilling and grinding tool. 5) Making a hole punch works. 3) Grind-shaped or shapeless surface using shaped grinding tool.

The Xaxis is always considered as the longest axis, where X+ will be the table motioning to the left and Xto the right. The Yaxis moves from front to back of the machine with the table motioning towards the operator as the Y+ (positive) direction and away being the Y (negative) direction. The Zaxis where the tool normally is located, has the Z+ (positive) axis motioning up and away from the workpiece/table and Z (negative) direction down towards the workpiece/table.

How to use the Milling Machine

First of all, check the rate of lubricant available on the machine. After that, check the coolant for cutting the workpiece to be performed. Then, check the alignment of the machine table with the column surface. If the table is not parallel to the surface of the machine head use the dial indicator for align the machine table with the column surface. Next pegged pinchers, align the pinchers with the column surface using L square. Next, clean the machine table and the base pinchers, put the blade parallel. Use a dial indicator for align the blade parallel to the machine head. Now the machine is ready to used.

There are various types of grind operations. The operations are as follows: 1) Grind flat surface. 2) Grind the edge of the surface. 3) Grind the tip. 4) Grind straddle. 5) Grind clumps. 6) Grind angled surfaces. 7) Cut the key seat. 8) Cutting various types of gear. 9) Cut various types of groove. 10) Cutting various kinds of the tool. 11) Grind Bushing.

Examples of work steps.

Making flat surface grinding: Firstly, put the workpiece on pinchers. Tighten the pinchers workpiece firmly. Make sure the work piece is in 90 degrees. Then, install the suitable tool for making a flat surface grinding. Switch on the machine and adjust the spindle speed (RPM). Next, control the movement of the machine by using the handle. Finally, for rough cutting table with raised about 3mm and finish cutting of 0.2mm to 0.6mm.

SAFETY
Safety measures :
Prioritize hygiene at all times. - Have a sense of responsibility towards oneself. - Be considerate of the welfare of colleagues. - Valuing and are satisfied with the work. - No hurry when doing any practical work. - Always prioritize safety while doing the work. - Use eye protection such as goggles, or protective equipment to prevent metal - fragments into the eye. - Do not joking when using the machine. - Hair must be short and neat. Long hair can be caught in the machine is operating. - Wear safety boots.

CONCLUSION
Advantage :
Work piece and cutter movement are precisely controlled to less than 0.001 in (0.025 mm) Milling machines can perform a vast number of operations, from simple slot and keyway cutting, planing, drilling to complex like contouring, diesinking.

Disadvantage :
Not good at cutting radial cuts. The machinery takes up a lot of space. Mills are very expensive to purchase and maintain. Uses a lot of electricity. Milling takes skill to use accurately.
