MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY II DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, A.M.U., ALIGARH MECIEMEC-3930 BS) College No.. |24........ pate of submission.o6]02~.|2025 EXPERIMENT NO.: 1 QBYECT: To perform alignment tests on: Date of Experiment: 20 () Lathe Machine (i) Miling Machine INSTRMENTS USED 1. Dial gauges with magnetic base : 0.01 mm accuracy 2. Cylindrical tests mandrel 3. Sprit levels with sensitivity : 0.03 - 0.05 mm per m length 4, Straight edges and squares THEORY: Acceptance test for machine tools help to specify its grade accuracy, which in turn termine its working accuracy. Acceptance tests are of two types:- (2) Geometric tests or Alignment tests - These are checks on the relationship of the various elements of the machine when itis idle and unloaded and are performed by Using ordinary measuring equipment together with a few special accessories. Example of such tests is - Parallelism of the spindle and bed ofa lathe. + Squareness ofthe table movement to the spindle of milling machine etc. ’ 4 (b) Practical or performance tests - These are intended to check the accuracy of the workdone on the machine and are performed by machining suitable pieces and then measuring them, rr Scanned with CamScannerALIGNMENT TEST ON LATHE 1. Straightness of saddle in horizontal plan Procedure: The mandrel Is held between centres, The dial indicator is mounted on the saddle. The spindle of the dial indicator Is allowed to touch the mandrel. The saddle is then moved longitudinally along the length of the mandrel. Readings are taken at different Places. Permissible error: 0.02 mm over length of mandrel, we % oo —— 2. Parallelism of main spindle to movement: a. In a vertical plane (b) In a horizontal plane Procedure: Thedial gauge is mounted on the saddle. The dial gauge spindle is made to {ouch the mandrel and the saddle ismoved to and fro. It is checked in vertical as well as in horizontal plane. Permissible error: {2) 0.02/300 mm mandrel rising towards free end only. {b) 0.02/30 mm mandrel inclined at free endtowards tool pressure only. ~~ & eo Scanned with CamScanner4.

True running of head stock centre: Procedure: The live centre is held in the tall stock spindle and itis rotated. Its trueness is checked by means of a dial gauge. Permissible error: 0.01 mm. ALIGNMENT TEST ON MILLING MACHINE 4. Flatness of work table ‘a. In longitudinal direction [Link] transverse direction Procedure: - A spirit level is placed directly on the table at points about 25 to 30 cm apart, 2 A,B, C for longitudinal tests and D, € and F for thetransverse test. The readings are noted. Permissible error: Direction A-B-C + 0.04 mmDirection D-E-F, #04 Scanned with CamScanner2. Parallelism of the work table surface to the main spindle Procedure: The table is adjusted in the horizontal plane by spirit level and is then set in ts ‘mean position longitudinally. The mandrel is fixed In the spindle taper. The dial gauge is set on the machine table, and the feeder adjusted to touch the lower surface of the mandrel. The dial gauge readings at (A) and (B) are observed, the stand of the dial gauge being moved while the machine table remains stationary’. Permissible error: 0.02/3 00 mm. Scanned with CamScanner3. Parallelism of the cross (transverse) movement of the worktable tothe main spindle: (@) In vertical plane (0) Inhorizontal plane Procedure: The work table is set In Its mean position. The mandrel isheld in the spindle, A dial gauge fixed to the table Is adjusted so that its spindle touches the surface of the mandrel. The table is moved cross-wise and the error is measured in the vertical plane and also in the horizontal plane. Permissible error: 0.02 for the overall transverse movement of thework table. 4. Parallelism of the clamping surface of the work table in itslongitudinal motion: Procedure: A dial gauge is fixed to the spindle. The dial gauge spindle is adjusted to touch the table surface, The table is then moved in longitudinal direction and readings are noted. I the table surface is uneven it is necessary to place a straight edge on :ts surface and the dial gauge feeder ismade to rest on the top surface ofthe straight edge. Permissible error: 0.02 up to 500 mm length of transverse, 0.03 up to 1000 mm and ! 0.04 above 1000 mm length of transverse. Scanned with CamScanner5, Parallelism of the T-slot with the longitudinal movement of the table: Procedure: The general parallelism of the T-slot with the longitudinal movernont ofthe table is checked by using 150 mm long braked having a tenon which enters the slot, The ial gauge is fixed to the spindle taper and adjusted so that Its feeder touches the upper surface of the bracket. The table then moved longitudinally while the bracket is held stationaryby the hand of the operator and dial gauge deviations from parallelism are note down. Permissible error: 0.0 125 mm in 300 mm.
