This machine mills a taper on the connecting rod’s small end. The client used to do this machining operation on an VMC, which was a time consuming process. In order to reduce the time and deliver an output of one component every 15 seconds, we proposed a rotary table concept. Basic features and sequence of operation is given below:

FEATURES & SPECS:

• Rigid, stress relieved and fabricated structural.
• A rotary table of our own make will be mounted on the base.
• This rotary table will have 2 indexing positions at every 180°.
• Four fixtures will mounted on the rotary table at every 90°.
• Two fixtures will be designed for 1st setup milling operation (1st side angle milling of a fresh component) and two fixtures will be designed for 2nd setup milling operation (2nd side angle milling after the completion of 1st side angle milling).
• The 1st setup and 2nd setup fixtures will be mounted at every alternate positions, to come after one another, while indexing.
• The rotary table will be oriented in such a way that two fixtures (one fixture of 1st setup and one fixture of 2nd setup) will be facing the operator for 180° index of table.
• On the other end of the table, at the other two fixtures, two milling heads are mounted on a two axes servo driven slide system.
• One milling head will be used for milling 1st setup and the other will be used for milling 2nd
• The two axes slide systems consists of a horizontal servo driven slide for feed, and a vertical slide for setting depth of cut.
• The machine will be provided with complete machine enclosure.
• The machine will be provided with a recirculating coolant system and integrated chip conveyor system.
• LM guides will be used for slideways.
• Machine will be provided with centralized lubrication system for sliding surfaces.
• Machine will be provided with touch panel HMI, for easy parameter setting of feed and positions.
