Machining is a process in which a material (often metal) is cut to a desired final shape
and size by a controlled material-removal process. The processes that have this
common theme are collectively called subtractive manufacturing, which
utilizes machine tools, in contrast to additive manufacturing (3D printing), which uses
controlled addition of material.
Machining is a part of the manufacture of many metal products, but it can also be used
on other materials such as wood, plastic, ceramic, and composite material. A person
who specializes in machining is called a machinist. A room, building, or company
where machining is done is called a machine shop. Much of modern-day machining is
carried out by computer numerical control (CNC), in which computers are used to
control the movement and operation of the mills, lathes, and other cutting machines.
This increases efficiency, as the CNC machine runs unmanned therefore reducing
labour costs for machine shops.
Machines present in the factory on which our study was focused are as follows:
Lathe Machine is used in all the engineering applications and also in the college
Workshops. Lathe machine is used to perform all the basic operations such as drilling,
cutting, tapping, turning, etc. with the help of different tools placed in the work
environment.
Lathe Machine is a machine tool that uses a cutting tool for removing the material
from the surface of the workpiece which is held in the chuck for holding the workpiece
and feed was provided by the tool on to the workpiece for the removal of material. It is
the most versatile and widely used machine in industries, institutions, etc.

Turning:
The process of removing material from the circumference of the workpiece is called
Turning Operation.
If the material is removed in terms of steps from the surface of the workpiece then it
is called a Step turning operation.
The turning operation used for producing tapered components is called a taper turning
operation.
The turning operation used for reducing the length of the component by removing the
material from the face of the workpiece called a face turning operation.
Thread Cutting:
The turning operation used for producing the threads on the surface of components is
called as thread cutting operation.
Drilling Operation:
It is an inter turning operation used for enlarging the existing hole by some amount
called boring operation.
Counterboring Operation:
The Boring operation used for enlarging the end of the hole is called as counterboring.
Reaming:
Reaming is similar to drilling operation used for removing a small amount of material
for sizing and finishing of the hole to get exact dimensions.
The maximum size of the hole produced by using in stages method of drilling operation
is up to 50 mm only.
Trepanning Operation:
It is the operation of producing large size holes without drilling operation called the
Trepanning.
Knurling Operation:
It is a pattern of straight, crossed or angled lines on the surface of the tool which is
pressed against the workpiece such that it can forms an impression on the surface of
workpiece. The holding of the workpiece will be better by this operation.
Vertical Drilling Machine A drilling machine with a vertical arrangement of
spindles and a fixed centre position, referred to as a vertical drill. It is often used in
machinery manufacturing and repair factories to process holes for small and medium-
sized workpieces.
The vertical drilling machine can feed automatically, and its power and mechanical
strength allow the use of higher cutting consumption. Therefore, the use of this drilling
machine can obtain higher labour productivity and higher processing accuracy. The
spindle speed of the vertical drilling machine, the feed rate has a relatively large range
of variation, which can be adapted to the processing of different material tools on
different material workpieces. And it can meet the needs of various processes such as
drilling, countersinking, reaming, tapping, etc. A set of multi-axis transmission heads
are installed on the vertical drilling machine, which can drill dozens of holes at a time
and can be used as a special machine tool for mass production.
Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by
advancing a cutter into a workpiece. This may be done by varying direction on one or
several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. Milling covers a wide variety of
different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large,
heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes for
machining custom parts to precise tolerances.
In the vertical milling machine, the spindle axis is vertically oriented. Milling
cutters are held in the spindle and rotate on its axis. The spindle can generally be
lowered (or the table can be raised, giving the same relative effect of bringing the
cutter closer or deeper into the work), allowing plunge cuts and drilling. The depth to
which blades cut into the work can be controlled with a micrometer adjustment nut.
There are two subcategories of vertical mills: the bed mill and the turret mill.
• A turret mill has a fixed spindle and the table is moved both perpendicular
and parallel to the spindle axis to accomplish cutting. Some turret mills have
a quill which allows the milling cutter (or a drill) to be raised and lowered in
a manner similar to a drill press. This provides two methods of cutting in the
vertical (Z) direction: by raising or lowering the quill, and by moving the
knee.
• In the bed mill, however, the table moves only perpendicular to the spindle's
axis, while the spindle itself moves parallel to its own axis.
Turret mills are generally considered by some to be more versatile of the two designs.
A third type also exists, a lighter, more versatile machine, called a mill-drill. The mill-
drill is a close relative of the vertical mill and quite popular in light industry; and with
hobbyists. A mill-drill is similar in basic configuration to a very heavy drill press, but
equipped with an X-Y table and a much larger column. They also typically use more
powerful motors than a comparably sized drill press, most are muti-speed belt driven
with some models having a geared head or electronic speed control. They generally
have quite heavy-duty spindle bearings to deal with the lateral loading on the spindle
that is created by a milling operation. A mill drill also typically raises and lowers the
entire head, including motor, often on a dovetailed (sometimes round with rack and
pinion) vertical column. A mill drill also has a large quill that is generally locked during
milling operations and released to facilitate drilling functions. Other differences that
separate a mill-drill from a drill press may be a fine-tuning adjustment for the Z-axis,
a more precise depth stop, the capability to lock the X, Y or Z axis, and often a system
of tilting the head or the entire vertical column and powerhead assembly to allow
angled cutting-drilling. Aside from size, the principal difference between these lighter
machines and larger vertical mills is that the X-Y table is at a fixed elevation; the Z-
axis is controlled by moving the head or quill down toward the X, Y table. A mill drill
typically has an internal taper fitting in the quill to take a collet chuck, face mills, or a
Jacobs chuck similar to the vertical mill.
Tapping may either be achieved by hand tapping by using a set of taps first tap,
second tap & final (finish) tap or using a machine to do the tapping, such as a lathe,
radial drilling machine, bench type drill machine, pillar type drill machine, vertical
milling machines, HMCs, VMCs. Machine tapping is a process to produce the female
threads inside the drilled hole. Machine tapping is faster and generally more accurate
because human error is eliminated. Final tapping is achieved with single tap.
Although in general machine tapping is more accurate, tapping operations have
traditionally been very tricky to execute due to frequent tap breakage and inconsistent
quality of tapping.
Machine tapping can be performed by electric drives and the problems concerned
with the machine tapping can be eliminated with the application of pneumatic tapping
machine.
Band Saw Machine
A band saw (also written bandsaw) is a machine with long tooth blade rotating on
wheel that cut material held by a table. It is one of the most common machine tools
found in cutting workshop and industry. Basically, the job of a band saw is to give
shape to material that has irregular appearance. The band saw shapes material by
sawing straight, round or cutting curve. Metal, wood, plastic and other materials are
cut by band saw. Depending upon the material there are different type of blades used
by band saw. The power to a band saw machine comes from electric motor. Many
kinds of band saw machines are used today. Each of them performs similar task but
has different characteristics for sawing different material.
CNC MACHINING
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a manufacturing process in which
pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and
machinery. The process can be used to control a range of complex machinery, from
grinders and lathes to mills and CNC routers. With CNC machining, three-dimensional
cutting tasks can be accomplished in a single set of prompts.
The CNC process runs in contrast to — and thereby supersedes — the limitations of
manual control, where live operators are needed to prompt and guide the commands
of machining tools via levers, buttons and wheels. To the onlooker, a CNC system
might resemble a regular set of computer components, but the software programs and
consoles employed in CNC machining distinguish it from all other forms of
computation.
When a CNC system is activated, the desired cuts are programmed into the software
and dictated to corresponding tools and machinery, which carry out the dimensional
tasks as specified, much like a robot.
In CNC programming, the code generator within the numerical system will often
assume mechanisms are flawless, despite the possibility of errors, which is greater
whenever a CNC machine is directed to cut in more than one direction simultaneously.
The placement of a tool in a numerical control system is outlined by a series of inputs
known as the part program.
With a numerical control machine, programs are inputted via punch cards. By contrast,
the programs for CNC machines are fed to computers through small keyboards. CNC
programming is retained in a computer’s memory. The code itself is written and edited
by programmers. Therefore, CNC systems offer far more expansive computational
capacity. Best of all, CNC systems are by no means static since newer prompts can be
added to pre-existing programs through revised code.
Basically, CNC machining makes it possible to pre-program the speed and position of
machine tool functions and run them via software in repetitive, predictable cycles, all
with little involvement from human operators. In the CNC machining process, a 2D or
3D CAD drawing is conceived, which is then translated to computer code for the CNC
system to execute. After the program is inputted, the operator gives it a trial run to
ensure no mistakes are present in the coding.
Due to these capabilities, the process has been adopted across all corners of the
manufacturing sector, and CNC manufacturing is especially vital in the areas of metal
and plastic production. Find out more about the types of machining systems used and
how CNC machine programming fully automates CNC manufacturing below:
In CNC machining, movement is usually directed across X and Y axes. The tool, in turn,
is positioned and guided via stepper or servo motors, which replicate exact
movements as determined by the G-code. If the force and speed are minimal, the
process can be run via open-loop control. For everything else, closed-loop control is
necessary to ensure the speed, consistency and accuracy required for industrial
applications, such as metalwork. In today’s CNC protocols, the production of parts via
pre-programmed software is mostly automated. The dimensions for a given part are
set into place with computer-aided design (CAD) software and then converted into an
actual finished product with computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software.
Any given workpiece could necessitate a variety of machine tools, such as drills and
cutters. In order to accommodate these needs, many of today’s machines combine
several different functions into one cell.
Alternately, an installation might consist of several machines and a set of robotic
hands that transfer parts from one application to another, but with everything
controlled by the same program. Regardless of the setup, the CNC process allows for
consistency in parts production that would be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate
manually.
The earliest numerical control machines date to the 1940s when motors were first
employed to control the movement of pre-existing tools. As technologies advanced,
the mechanisms were enhanced with analog computers, and ultimately with digital
computers, leading to the rise of CNC machining.
The vast majority of today’s CNC arsenals are completely electronic. Some of the more
common CNC-operated processes include ultrasonic welding, hole-punching and laser
cutting. The most frequently used machines in CNC systems include the following:
CNC Mills
CNC mills are capable of running on programs comprised of number- and letter-based
prompts that guide pieces across various distances. The programming employed for a
mill machine could be based on either G-code or some unique language developed by
a manufacturing team. Basic mills consist of a three-axis system (X, Y and Z), though
most newer mills can accommodate three additional axes.
Lathes
In lathe machines, pieces are cut in a circular direction with indexable tools. With CNC
technology, the cuts employed by lathes are carried out with precision and high
velocity. CNC lathes are used to produce complex designs that wouldn’t be possible on
manually run versions of the machine. Overall, the control functions of CNC-run mills
and lathes are similar. As with CNC mills, lathes can be directed by G-code or unique
proprietary code. However, most CNC lathes consist of two axes — X and Z.
Plasma Cutters
In a plasma cutter, a plasma torch cuts the material. The process is foremost applied
to metal materials but can also be employed on other surfaces. In order to produce the
speed and heat necessary to cut metal, plasma is generated through a combination of
compressed-air gas and electrical arcs.
When the space between the electrodes becomes smaller, the electric field becomes
more intense and thus stronger than the dielectric. This makes it possible for a current
to pass between the two electrodes. Consequently, portions of a workpiece are
removed by each electrode. Subtypes of EDM include:
• Wire EDM: Wire EDM uses spark erosion to remove portions from an
electronically conductive material.
• Sinker EDM: Sinker EDM utilizes an electrode and workpiece soaked in
dielectric fluid for the purpose of piece formation.
In a process known as flushing, debris from each finished workpiece is carried away
by a liquid dielectric, which appears once the current between the two electrodes has
stopped and is meant to eliminate any further electric charges.
In CNC machining, water jets are tools that cut hard materials, such as granite and
metal, with high-pressure applications of water. In some cases, the water is mixed
with sand or some other strong abrasive substance. Companies often shape factory
machine parts through this process. Water jets are employed as a cooler alternative
for materials that are unable to bear the heat-intensive processes of other CNC
machines.
Due to their cooler nature, several sectors like the aerospace and mining
industries rely on water jets, where they use them for carving and cutting, among
other functions. Companies also use water jet cutters for applications requiring very
intricate cuts in material, as the lack of heat prevents any change in the
material’s intrinsic properties that may result from metal-on-metal cutting.

CNC LATHE
A computer numerical control lathe is a machine that turns material around a central
spindle and stationary cutting tool. Your material’s movement is dictated by coded
instructions fed through a computer rather than operated with manual labour. Multiple
steps can be programmed at once, so your material doesn’t have to leave the lathe
between manufacturing, guaranteeing correct placement for cuts.
A simple CNC lathe operates on 2 axes and moves the material it is cutting with a
rotation. The material’s rotation is commonly called ‘turning’, so you may hear CNC
lathes being referred to as CNC turning machines. Lathe machines with more than 2
axes, perhaps with an additional Y-axis or sub-spindle, will likely be nicknamed a CNC
turning centre rather than a CNC turning machine.
There are numerous benefits to investing in a computer numerical control lathe over a
manual lathe. Firstly, computer-operated lathes are incredibly precise since their
movement is managed by code. Extra precision means fewer mistakes, cheaper
operation, and less wasted material during the manufacturing process. Manual lathes
are subject to human error during their turning.
One operator can also manage multiple CNC lathes at a time, whereas manual lathes
require closer attention! While CNC lathes are a pricier investment initially, they prove
cheaper to run in terms of hiring staff for oversight. Manufacturing times are quicker,
with more CNC machines on the go at one time, and all products created are nearly
identical due to the reliability of computer numerical control.

VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER(VMC)
VMC machining refers to machining operations that utilize vertical machining centers
(VMCs), which, as the name suggests, have vertically oriented machine tools. These
machines are primarily utilized to turn raw blocks of metal, such as aluminium or
steel, into machined components. They can be used to perform a variety of machining
operations, including, but not limited to, the following: cutting, drilling, tapping,
countersinking, chamfering, carving, and engraving. This versatility, combined with
their relatively low cost, has made them a highly common machine shop tool.
• Simpler structure. The simple structure of VMCs makes it easy to clamp the
workpiece in the necessary position.
• Better cooling efficiency. Gravity works with the VMC design. Coolant sprayed at
the top of the machine tool and workpiece trickles down to cover the rest of the
target.
• Easier setup and operation. VMCs have a wide field of vision, enabling operators
to observe the operations and, if needed, make modifications to resolve any
issues.
• Smaller space requirements. The vertical design takes up less floor space than
a horizontal design.
• Higher accuracy. VMCs can produce complex shapes and structures with a high
degree of accuracy.
Vertical machining centres can be used to manufacture parts and products for a wide
range of industries and applications. However, they are primarily used for high-
precision, high-accuracy, and mass-production projects, including those involving the
following machined components:
• Complex curved parts. Examples of parts with complex curves include cams,
impellers, and propellers. While these parts are difficult to manufacture with
precision and accuracy using conventional machining methods, a multi-axis
VMC with CNC technology can produce them easily and quickly.
• Special or irregularly shaped parts. Examples of parts with irregular or special
shapes include brackets and bases. These components often have highly
complex designs, which are hard to produce using other manufacturing
methods but easy to produce using VMCs with automatic machining capabilities.
• Military parts. The military industry is subjected to a variety of standards that
dictate how a part can be designed and built. The accuracy and precision of
VMCs ensure the machined components produced fully meet the necessary
application and industry specifications
Inventory Control
Inventory Control is the supervision of supply, storage and accessibility of items in
order to ensure an adequate supply without excessive oversupply.
It can also be referred as internal control - an accounting procedure or system
designed to promote efficiency or assure the implementation of a policy or safeguard
assets or avoid fraud and error etc.
Applications
An inventory control system may be used to automate an order fulfillment process.
Such a system contains a list of orders to be received, and then prompts workers
to pick the necessary items, and provides them with packaging and shipping. An
inventory system also manages in and outwards material of hardware. Real-time
inventory control systems may use wired, mobile terminals to record inventory
transactions at the moment they occur. A wired LAN transmits the transaction
information to a mobile network. Physical inventory counting and cycle counting
are features of many inventory control systems which can enhance the
organization.
Business Inventory
1. Time - The time lags present in the supply chain, from supplier to user at every
stage, requires that you maintain certain amounts of inventory to use in this
lead time. However, in practice, inventory is to be maintained for consumption
during 'variations in lead time'. Lead time itself can be addressed by ordering
that many days in advance.
Integrating demand forecasting into inventory management in this way also allows for
the prediction of the "can fit" point when inventory storage is limited on a per-product
basis.
Quality System Employed in Industry: KAIZEN
What is Kaizen?
KAI = CHANGE
ZEN = GOOD
Why Kaizen?
The list describes how to organize a work space for efficiency and
effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used,
maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. The
decision-making process usually comes from a dialogue about
standardization, which builds understanding among employees of

The Origins of 5S
The 5 S’s: There are five primary 5S phases: They can be translated from the Japanese
as Sort, Systematize, Shine, Standardize and Self-Discipline. Other translations are
possible.
1. Seiri (sort)
• Remove unnecessary items and dispose of them properly
• Make work easier by eliminating obstacles
• Reduce chance of being disturbed with unnecessary items
• Prevent accumulation of unnecessary items
• Evaluate necessary items with regard to dept/cost/other factors.
2. Seiton (straighten or streamline)
• Arrange all necessary items in order so they can be easily picked for use
• Prevent loss and waste of time • Make it easy to find and pick up
necessary items
• Ensure first-come-first-serve basis
• Make work flow smooth and easy • Can also be translated as "set in
order"
3. Seiso (shine)
• Clean your workplace completely
• Use cleaning as inspection
• Prevent machinery and equipment deterioration • Keep workplace safe
and easy to work
• Can also be translated as "sweep"
4. Seiketsu (standardize)
• Maintain high standards of housekeeping and workplace organization at
all times
• Maintain cleanliness and orderliness • Maintain everything in order and
according to its standard.
5. Shitsuke (sustain)
• To keep in working order
• Also translates to "Self-Discipline" meaning to do without being told
Additional S's
Other phases are sometimes included e.g., safety, security, and satisfaction. These
however do not form a traditional set of "phases" as the additions of these extra steps
are simply to clarify the benefits of 5S and not a different or more inclusive
methodology.
Safety
The phase, "Safety", is sometimes added. There is debate over whether including this
sixth "S" promotes safety by stating this value explicitly, or if a comprehensive safety
program is undermined when it is relegated to a single item in an efficiency-focused
business methodology.
Security
The phase, "Security", can also be added. To leverage security as an investment rather
than an expense, the seventh "S" identifies and addresses risks to key business
categories including fixed assets (PP&E), material, human capital, brand equity,
intellectual property, information technology, assets-in-transit and the extended
supply chain. Techniques adapted from those detailed in Total security management
(TSM) or the business practice of developing and implementing comprehensive risk
management and security practices for a firm’s entire value chain.
