Parallels supporting a vee block and a workpiece. A parallel is a rectangular block of metal, commonly made from tool steel, stainless steel or cast iron, which has 2, [1] 4 or 6 faces ground or lapped to a precise surface finish.
Spring back compensation is used in metal forming to ensure that the final shape assumed by a piece of metal after being removed from a forming tool is the shape desired. Typically, when metal is being formed at room temperature, it will undergo both plastic and elastic deformation. After the metal workpiece is removed from the tool or ...
A tandem rolling mill is a rolling mill used to produce wire and sheet metal. It is composed of two or more close-coupled [clarification needed] stands, and uses tension between the stands as well as compressive force from work rolls [clarification needed] to reduce the thickness of steel. It was first patented by Richard Ford in 1766 in England.
Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.
Milling is the complex shaping of metal or other materials by removing material to form the final shape. It is generally done on a milling machine , a power-driven machine that in its basic form consists of a milling cutter that rotates about the spindle axis (like a drill ), and a worktable that can move in multiple directions (usually two ...
This is the most common size and takes a hammer up to 4 kg. The wedges grip an area of 75 mm 2 (0.116 sq in) and the shank is inserted 40 mm into the chuck. SDS-top A 14 mm shank similar to SDS-plus, designed for hammers from 2 to 5 kg. The grip area is increased to 212 mm 2 (0.329 sq in) and the shank is inserted 70 mm. This size remained ...
A 2.5D machine, also called a two-and-a-half-axis mill, possesses the capability to translate in all three axes but can perform the cutting operation only in two of the three axes at a time due to hardware or software limitations, or a machine that has a solenoid instead of a true, linear Z axis. A typical example involves an XY table that ...
The sliding block has a hole through it that, when reset, is misaligned with the hole through the hammer. When the body is pressed to the trip point, a taper in the body forces the block sideways until the hole in the block is aligned with the hole through the hammer, and the hammer is released to strike the punch.
