2. Abstract
The main aim of the project is to shift the machining centre of the side arms (columns) of the
sugarcane machinery manufactured by Thyssenkrupp Industries India Ltd. Previously, these columns
used to be manufactured on Skoda machine, which otherwise could have been used to handle much
larger workpieces. The set-up time required to machine the columns simultaneously on Skoda is too
high. Presently, this scheduled procedure of production causes the problem of bottlenecking on Plano-
miller machine. Moreover, the Skoda machine costs around Rs. 2000/hr for actual machining of the
columns, as compared to Rs. 1200/hr that can be possibly incurred on the proposed HMT machine.
Hence, the shifting pattern for the given workpieceto be followed is :
The suggested solution of the officials is the shifting of machining of columns to smaller
machining centres like HMT so that bigger machines like Skoda and Plano-miller could be ultimately
used for larger jobs . Also, since HMT machine has two pallets, while one column is being machined
(say left-handed), offline setting of the other column (say right handed) can be done. This reduces the
overall setting time by a significant amount.
The working outline includes designing of two different fixture set-ups for the desired
machining operations to be done, as per the given geometry of the job.

4. Know-how of fixture and its related terminologies
Fixture [4][5] is a special purpose tool which is used to facilitate production (machining,
assembling and inspection operations) when workpieces are to be produced on a mass scale. Some of
the manifold uses of designing and setting-up fixtures include :
1. To increase the production.
2. To provide for interchangeability.
3. To enable heavy and complex-shaped parts to be machined by being rigidly held to a machine.
4. Their use improves the safety at work, thereby lowering the rate of accidents.
Hence,
“ A fixture is a work holding device which only holds and positions the work, but does not in itself
guide, locate or position the cutting tool. “ The setting of the tool is done by machine adjustment. A
fixture is bolted or clamped to the machine table.
4.1 Concept of locating....
The question of properly locating, supporting and clamping the work is important since the
overall accuracy is dependent primarily on the accuracy with which the w/p is consistently located
within the fixture. There must be no movement of the work during machining. Locating refers to the
establishment of a proper relationship between the workpiece and the fixture so that as many
degrees of freedom (out of 12) should get restricted as possible.
4.2 Principle of location....
In a state of freedom, any workpiece (assuming it has true and flat faces) may move in either of
the two opposed directions along three mutually perpendicular axes XX, YY and ZZ axes. These six
movements are called “movements of translation”. Also, the w/p can rotate in either of two opposed
directions around each axis, clockwise and anticlockwise. These six movements are called “rotational
movements”. The sum of these two types of movements gives the twelve degrees of freedom of a w/p in
space. To confine the workpiece accurately and positively in another fixed body (fixture), the
movement of the workpiece in any of the twelve degrees of freedom must be restricted.
11
Usually, six locating pins, three in the base of the fixed body, two in a vertical plane and one in
another vertical plane, the three planes being perpendicular to one another, restrict nine degrees of
freedom. In case three more pins are used for the remaining three degrees of freedom, then that would
make loading and unloading of w/p into the fixture impossible. Hence, the remaining three degrees of
freedom may be arrested by means of a clamping device. This method of locating a w/p is popularly
called “3-2-1” principle or “six point location” principle. [5]

12
Fig. 3 - Six-point location system
13
4.3 Common locating devices used....
Pins are stops which are inserted in the body of fixture, against which the workpiece is pushed
to establish the desired relationship between the workpiece and the fixture. Pins of various designs and
made of hardened steel are the most common locating devices used. Depending upon the relation
between the workpiece and pin, the pins may be classified as [5]:
1. Locating pins
a. Conical locating pins
b. Cylindrical locating pins
2. Support pins
a. Adjustable type
b. Fixed type
3. Jack pins
Other locating devices include V-type locator, diamond pin locator, bushes, etc.
4.4Clamping....
If the workpiece cannot be restrained by the locating elements, it becomes necessary to clamp
the w/p in the fixture body. The purpose of clamping is to exert a pressure to press a w/p against the
locating surfaces and hold it there in opposition to the cutting forces i.e.to secure a reliable (positive)
contact of the work with locating elements and prevent the work in the fixture from displacement
and vibration in machining[5].The most common example of a clamp is the bench vise, where the
movable jaw of the vise exerts force on the w/p thereby holding it in the correct position of location in
the fixed jaw of the vise.
4.5Common clamping devices used....
Some of the common clamping devices used in practice [5] are :
1. Clamping screws
2. Hook bolt clamp
3. Lever type clamps
a. Bridge clamps
b. Heel clamps
c. Swinging strap (latch) clamps
d. Hinged clamps
4. Quick acting clamps
a. C-clamps
14
b. Quick acting nut
c. Cam-operated clamp
** No clamping devices are used if a very heavy stable job is to be machined, whose weight is very
great compared to the forces developed in the cutting process, if these forces are in a direction that
cannot disturb the setting of the job.
** Clamping devices are also unnecessary if the job is deprived of all of its degrees of freedom when it
is loaded into a fixture.
4.6Base plate with grid pattern of holes....
A base plate (square or rectangular) with a grid pattern of holes [5] is especially suitable as a
work-holding device for N/C and CNC machine tools. The holes are usually on 25mm centres. Every
other hole is tapped to hold down studs or screws. The remaining holes are jig-bored to 0.005mm
accuracy, and these holes hold dowel pins. The dowel pins act as locators and the studs and screws are
used for clamping the w/p on the plate. The grid plate, in turn, is bolted directly on the machine table.
This system can be used for an infinite varieties of w/p.
The bottom-left hole is taken as the zero reference point. With this, the grid pattern and hence
the w/p will be placed in the first quadrant. All the dimensions measured from the reference point will
be positive in magnitude. The N/C machine tool is set-up by bringing the machine spindle directly over
the reference hole with the help of a dial indicator mounted on the spindle. The w/p is then located and
held on the grid plate in reference to the set-up point.
** One major drawback of grid plate is that the chips get accumulated in the holes. However, this can
be avoided by keeping all the unused holes plugged.
4.7Modular fixtures....
These fixtures are commonly used on N/C and CNC machining centres [5]. The fixtures
comprise of modular components based on the grid principle (A module is an interchangeable “plug in”
item that may be combined with other interchangeable items to form a complete unit i.e. a modular
fixture is built up on the building block principle). The w/p locators are located approximately on the
grid pattern and then the w/p is precision-machined under tape control. Dowel pins are not used.
4.8 Standard fixture parts....
The basic purpose of standardization [5] of any manufactured items is to ensure
interchangeability (which is the basis of mass production) and facilitate the manufacture of parts. It also
facilitates maintenance and repair. When designing and manufacturing fixtures, maximum use should
be made of standard, readily purchasable (or available in store) component parts. This will reduce the
cost of design and manufacturing considerably.
The standardized component parts for fixtures include : Washers, various types of screws, studs
and nuts, T-bolt and T-nut, toggles, cam and wedge etc.

6.2 Study of the job....
The given component is not a regular shaped workpiece. It is an eccentric component. Also,
when we look at the specifications of HMT machine, it is quite obvious that both the columns can’t be
machined simultaneously. The geometry of the column (i.e. the need to machine faces which are
perpendicular and/or parallel to each other) and the limitations of the machine space utilisation call for
designing two different set-ups of fixture to hold the column while machining.

Fig. 9 – Various views of RH column
25
Fig. 10 – Dimensional drawing of the column
26
As per the functional requirement, six faces of the LH column and three faces of the RH
column are to be machined. Since these faces are parallel and/or perpendicular to each other, they are to
be machined in two different orientations. Each of the face requires milling and drilling operations. The
requirements are as shown below :
Face number Operation required
*1 Milling Tapping three M20 holes
2 Milling
Drilling two Ø27 holes,
two Ø50.2 holes
Tapping two M24 holes
3 Milling Drilling two M20 holes
4 Milling Tapping two M20 holes
*5 Milling Tapping two M20 holes
*6 Milling Drilling four M10 holes
*Additional holes to be drilled and tapped - ½” BSP hole & 1½” BSP hole
* indicates those operations are to be performed on LH column only. The rest are to be
performed on both
“Thus, LH column requires total 6 milling operations, 21 drilled holes and 11 tapped holes
RH column requires total 3 milling operations, 10 drilling holes and 4 tapped holes “
27
6.3 Study of degrees of freedom of the column....
As mentioned in the previous title, the given component requires two different fixture set-ups for
holding. So the basic approach to design started with the analysis of degrees of freedom [5] of the
column in both the orientations possible.

6.5 Importance of using base plate....
While designing a fixture, the pre-requisite condition that is to be considered is that “both the
columns should be machined together”. This is to maintain the centre distance and height of the
columns from the point of view of positioning the central shaft of the sugarcane machinery set-up.
However, because of the geometry of the column and limitations of the specifications of the machine,
two different fixture set-ups have to be designed. In order to comply with the condition put forth, base
plates of known dimensions are being used. Every time before any process is started on the required
face, respective dimensions (height and centre distance) will be measured with respect to the known
dimensions of the base plate. Also, the dimensions will be measured post process in succession. Then,
as per the tolerances set, the dimensions are checked and kept within the limits in every pass.
One more use of the base plate is for quick-setting of the column in the second set-up. The base
plates for both the set-ups are being provided with holes for tenons and allen screws. Tenons and allen
screws serve the purpose of locating (fixing) the base plate with respect to the modular fixture. In case
of second set-up, additional holes (for locating pins and allen screws) are being drilled to quickly
set/position the column.

2. Feed force Ff=Px = 0.7*(D/2)*f*Kc (N)
3. Tangential force Pz = ((P*1000*60)/((2∏n)*(D/2))*1000 (kgf)
** The cutting forces generated during reaming operation are almost negligible. Hence they are
not being considered for the calculation purpose.
Sample calculation :
For drilling a hole of dia. 27mm on part no. 2, the cutting parameters are Vc= 120 m/min. , f = 60/1500
= 0.04 mm/rev. , D = 27mm, Kc= 1740

, ƞ = 0.8 (say). Then,
P = (120*0.04*27*1740) / (1000*60*4*0.8) = 1.1745 kW
Px = 0.7*(27/2)*0.04*1740 = 657.72 N = 65.772 kgf
Pz = ((1.1745*1000*60) / ( 2∏* 1500)*(27/2))*1000 = 553.85 N = 55.385 kgf
7.3 Calculations of allowable force / load that can be taken by various elements….
Values of allowable stresses [1] (for varying load)that are involved in the design are :
For M.S. Tension : 3.5 kgf/mm2
, Shear = 2.2 kgf/mm2
, Compression = 10.5 kgf/mm2
, Bending =
3.5 kgf/mm2
, Bearing pressure = 2.9kgf/mm2
For EN .8  Shear = 3.7 kgf/mm2
For EN .24  Shear = 8.7 kgf/mm2
1. Clamp
Effective area = (70-28)*30 = 1260mm2
Allowable tensile force = 1260*3.5 = 4410 kgf
Allowable shear force = 1260*2.2 = 2772 kgf
µ = 0.1 to 0.15 for a pair of M.S.
Hence, allowable frictional force = 0.15*2772 = 415.8 kgf
2. Stud (M24*375L)
Pitch = 2mm  Core dia. = 24-2 = 22mm
51
Area of stud = (3.14/4)*222
= 380.1327mm2
Allowable shear force = 2.2*380.1327 = 836.29 kgf
3. Bolt (M24*75L)
Pitch = 2mm  Core dia. = 24-2 = 22mm
Area of stud = (3.14/4)*222
= 380.1327mm2
Allowable shear force = 2.2*380.1327 = 836.29 kgf
4. Allen screw (M20*50L)
Area = (3.14/4)*17.52
= 240.5281 mm2
Allowable tensile force = 3.5*240.5281 = 841.848 kgf
Allowable shear force = 2.2*240.5281 = 529.16 kgf
5. Allen screw (M10*20L)

7.4 Calculated results of Factor of safety….
7.4.1 Assumptions :
1. The allowable forces are being calculated for varying load condition
2. The cumulative forces acting on the set-up are not being distributed for calculation purpose. The
entire force is being assumed to act on all the individual elements
3. The weight of the column was not distributed while making the calculations.
4. The entire screwjack type arrangement only acts as a support to accommodate the geometry of the
job, and majorly to take care of the vibrations produced during machining. Still, for calculation
purpose, it is considered to be a load bearing element to evaluate its strength
**Points 2 and 3 justify why the factor of safety obtained in the calculations is pretty high.
7.4.2 Distribution of action of forces on various elements….
1. Due to milling, three forces Px,Pyand Pzact on the column. Tangential component Pzprovides the
necessary torque for rotation. This component may tend to lift the column about an axis that is parallel
to the axis of the cutter. This lifting is prevented by the clamps, such that, in the first set-up, two clamps
are in tension and the remaining two are in compression, alternately. In the second set-up, one is in
tension and the other is in compression, alternately.
2. Px acts as a shearing force. Hence, this shearing is resisted by bolts, allenscrews,tenons, locating pins,
and frictional component of clamp.
3. Py tends to rotate the column about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the cutter. This rotation is
resisted by bolts, allen screws, tenons, and locating pins.
4. The screwjack type arrangement resists Pz component of milling and drilling operations involved.
5. During drilling, Px component will provide the shearing force. This will be resisted by bolts, allen
screws, tenons, and locating pins .

8.5 Cost of raw material
Total weight of set-up 1
= [ Volume of (base plate + support block + screwjack + round plate + bracket + clamp + clamp rest +
allen screws + stud + nut with washer + bolt + lock nuts) * Density of mild steel ]
+ (Volume of tenons * Density of EN 8)
= (48175.542 * 10-6
* 7850) + (33.8412 * 10-6
* 7845)
= 378.4434 kg
Total weight of set-up 2
= [ Volume of (base plate + support block + screwjack + round plate + bracket + clamp + clamp rest +
allen screws + stud + nut with washer + bolt + lock nuts) * Density of mild steel ]
+ (Volume of tenons * Density of EN 8) + (Volume of locating pins * Density of EN 24)
= (28236.83308 * 10-6
* 7850) + (33.8412 * 10-6
* 7845) + (184.8827 * 10-6
* 7872)
= 223.1442 kg
Total weight of T-shaped fixture
= Volume of (flange + t-shaped structure + rib) * Density of mild steel
= (468.769 + 1499.52 + 250) * 10-6
*7850
= 17.4135 kg
Hence, total weight of fixture = 619.001132 kg
Unit cost of raw material = Rs. 45/kg
Therefore, total cost of raw material (C5) = 45 * 619.001132 = Rs. 27855.05094 /-
*Total cost of fixture (excluding the machining cost of screwjack and t-fixture )
= C1 +C2 + C3 + C4 + C5 = 35548.47214 /- approx.

8.6 Process sheet for machining of columns
Cost of machining both the columns= Rs. 11784 /-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
74
9. Conclusion
Cost of machining the columns previously on Skoda machine = Rs. 45000/- approx..
Cost of machining the columns now on HMT machine = Rs. 11784/- approx.
Thus, the proposed design gives a cost benefit by a very large margin. This is because of the
changeover of the machining centre of the columns, and also due to a substantial reduction in the setting
time involved.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Testing
The proposed HMT centre (where the columns are to be machined) is currently overloaded with
other work schedules. Hence, unless the estimated targets are achieved, the given fixture design cannot
be tested there, and ultimately finalised. As such, the new production set up for the columns is on hold,
and they are being still machined on Skoda.
11. Scope for improvement
As far as the given project is concerned, we tried to reduce the set up time and cost by
proposing a new fixture design. And this design promises to give substantial savings. But, as such,
because of time constraints, there doesn’t seem anymore scope for improvement.
However, other than the project work, we do want to suggest some other changes that could
hopefully give fruitful benefits to the company in the long run. Firstly, the raw materials in the yard in
front of Hall no. 2 are not kept in an organized manner. Had we been associated with the company for
some more time, we could have thought over a new layout for storage which could have had different
predefined areas for storing different materials. Secondly, there is a need for a proper shed to cover
these materials. Aesthetically, that’s not a good sign. So that’s probably a grave point to contemplate on
its solution.

Previously, these columns used to be manufactured on Skoda machine, which otherwise could have been used to handle much larger workpieces. The set-up time required to machine the columns simultaneously on Skoda is too high. Presently, this scheduled procedure of production causes the problem of bottlenecking on Plano- miller machine. Moreover, the Skoda machine costs around Rs. 2000/hr for actual machining of the columns, as compared to Rs. 1200/hr that can be possibly incurred on the proposed HMT machine. Hence, the shifting pattern for the given workpieceto be followed is : The suggested solution of the officials is the shifting of machining of columns to smaller machining centres like HMT so that bigger machines like Skoda and Plano-miller could be ultimately used for larger jobs . Also, since HMT machine has two pallets, while one column is being machined (say left-handed), offline setting of the other column (say right handed) can be done. This reduces the overall setting time by a significant amount. The working outline includes designing of two different fixture set-ups for the desired machining operations to be done, as per the given geometry of the job. 3.

  • 10. 10 4. Know-how of fixture and its related terminologies Fixture [4][5] is a special purpose tool which is used to facilitate production (machining, assembling and inspection operations) when workpieces are to be produced on a mass scale. Some of the manifold uses of designing and setting-up fixtures include : 1. To increase the production. 2. To provide for interchangeability. 3. To enable heavy and complex-shaped parts to be machined by being rigidly held to a machine. 4. Their use improves the safety at work, thereby lowering the rate of accidents. Hence, “ A fixture is a work holding device which only holds and positions the work, but does not in itself guide, locate or position the cutting tool. “ The setting of the tool is done by machine adjustment. A fixture is bolted or clamped to the machine table. 4.1 Concept of locating.... The question of properly locating, supporting and clamping the work is important since the overall accuracy is dependent primarily on the accuracy with which the w/p is consistently located within the fixture. There must be no movement of the work during machining. Locating refers to the establishment of a proper relationship between the workpiece and the fixture so that as many degrees of freedom (out of 12) should get restricted as possible. 4.2 Principle of location.... In a state of freedom, any workpiece (assuming it has true and flat faces) may move in either of the two opposed directions along three mutually perpendicular axes XX, YY and ZZ axes. These six movements are called “movements of translation”. Also, the w/p can rotate in either of two opposed directions around each axis, clockwise and anticlockwise. These six movements are called “rotational movements”. The sum of these two types of movements gives the twelve degrees of freedom of a w/p in space. To confine the workpiece accurately and positively in another fixed body (fixture), the movement of the workpiece in any of the twelve degrees of freedom must be restricted.
  • 11. 11 Usually, six locating pins, three in the base of the fixed body, two in a vertical plane and one in another vertical plane, the three planes being perpendicular to one another, restrict nine degrees of freedom. In case three more pins are used for the remaining three degrees of freedom, then that would make loading and unloading of w/p into the fixture impossible. Hence, the remaining three degrees of freedom may be arrested by means of a clamping device. This method of locating a w/p is popularly called “3-2-1” principle or “six point location” principle. [5] Fig. 2 - Degrees of freedom of an object in space
  • 12. 12 Fig. 3 - Six-point location system
  • 13. 13 4.3 Common locating devices used.... Pins are stops which are inserted in the body of fixture, against which the workpiece is pushed to establish the desired relationship between the workpiece and the fixture. Pins of various designs and made of hardened steel are the most common locating devices used. Depending upon the relation between the workpiece and pin, the pins may be classified as [5]: 1. Locating pins a. Conical locating pins b. Cylindrical locating pins 2. Support pins a. Adjustable type b. Fixed type 3. Jack pins Other locating devices include V-type locator, diamond pin locator, bushes, etc. 4.4Clamping.... If the workpiece cannot be restrained by the locating elements, it becomes necessary to clamp the w/p in the fixture body. The purpose of clamping is to exert a pressure to press a w/p against the locating surfaces and hold it there in opposition to the cutting forces i.e.to secure a reliable (positive) contact of the work with locating elements and prevent the work in the fixture from displacement and vibration in machining[5].The most common example of a clamp is the bench vise, where the movable jaw of the vise exerts force on the w/p thereby holding it in the correct position of location in the fixed jaw of the vise. 4.5Common clamping devices used.... Some of the common clamping devices used in practice [5] are : 1. Clamping screws 2. Hook bolt clamp 3. Lever type clamps a. Bridge clamps b. Heel clamps c. Swinging strap (latch) clamps d. Hinged clamps 4. Quick acting clamps a. C-clamps
  • 14. 14 b. Quick acting nut c. Cam-operated clamp ** No clamping devices are used if a very heavy stable job is to be machined, whose weight is very great compared to the forces developed in the cutting process, if these forces are in a direction that cannot disturb the setting of the job. ** Clamping devices are also unnecessary if the job is deprived of all of its degrees of freedom when it is loaded into a fixture. 4.6Base plate with grid pattern of holes.... A base plate (square or rectangular) with a grid pattern of holes [5] is especially suitable as a work-holding device for N/C and CNC machine tools. The holes are usually on 25mm centres. Every other hole is tapped to hold down studs or screws. The remaining holes are jig-bored to 0.005mm accuracy, and these holes hold dowel pins. The dowel pins act as locators and the studs and screws are used for clamping the w/p on the plate. The grid plate, in turn, is bolted directly on the machine table. This system can be used for an infinite varieties of w/p. The bottom-left hole is taken as the zero reference point. With this, the grid pattern and hence the w/p will be placed in the first quadrant. All the dimensions measured from the reference point will be positive in magnitude. The N/C machine tool is set-up by bringing the machine spindle directly over the reference hole with the help of a dial indicator mounted on the spindle. The w/p is then located and held on the grid plate in reference to the set-up point. ** One major drawback of grid plate is that the chips get accumulated in the holes. However, this can be avoided by keeping all the unused holes plugged. 4.7Modular fixtures.... These fixtures are commonly used on N/C and CNC machining centres [5]. The fixtures comprise of modular components based on the grid principle (A module is an interchangeable “plug in” item that may be combined with other interchangeable items to form a complete unit i.e. a modular fixture is built up on the building block principle). The w/p locators are located approximately on the grid pattern and then the w/p is precision-machined under tape control. Dowel pins are not used. 4.8 Standard fixture parts.... The basic purpose of standardization [5] of any manufactured items is to ensure interchangeability (which is the basis of mass production) and facilitate the manufacture of parts. It also facilitates maintenance and repair. When designing and manufacturing fixtures, maximum use should be made of standard, readily purchasable (or available in store) component parts. This will reduce the cost of design and manufacturing considerably. The standardized component parts for fixtures include : Washers, various types of screws, studs and nuts, T-bolt and T-nut, toggles, cam and wedge etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • 22. 22 6.2 Study of the job.... The given component is not a regular shaped workpiece. It is an eccentric component. Also, when we look at the specifications of HMT machine, it is quite obvious that both the columns can’t be machined simultaneously. The geometry of the column (i.e. the need to machine faces which are perpendicular and/or parallel to each other) and the limitations of the machine space utilisation call for designing two different set-ups of fixture to hold the column while machining.

  • 26. 26 As per the functional requirement, six faces of the LH column and three faces of the RH column are to be machined. Since these faces are parallel and/or perpendicular to each other, they are to be machined in two different orientations. Each of the face requires milling and drilling operations. The requirements are as shown below : Face number Operation required *1 Milling Tapping three M20 holes 2 Milling Drilling two Ø27 holes, two Ø50.2 holes Tapping two M24 holes 3 Milling Drilling two M20 holes 4 Milling Tapping two M20 holes *5 Milling Tapping two M20 holes *6 Milling Drilling four M10 holes *Additional holes to be drilled and tapped - ½” BSP hole & 1½” BSP hole * indicates those operations are to be performed on LH column only. The rest are to be performed on both “Thus, LH column requires total 6 milling operations, 21 drilled holes and 11 tapped holes RH column requires total 3 milling operations, 10 drilling holes and 4 tapped holes “
  • 27. 27 6.3 Study of degrees of freedom of the column.... As mentioned in the previous title, the given component requires two different fixture set-ups for holding.

  • 31. 31 6.5 Importance of using base plate.... While designing a fixture, the pre-requisite condition that is to be considered is that “both the columns should be machined together”. This is to maintain the centre distance and height of the columns from the point of view of positioning the central shaft of the sugarcane machinery set-up. However, because of the geometry of the column and limitations of the specifications of the machine, two different fixture set-ups have to be designed. In order to comply with the condition put forth, base plates of known dimensions are being used. Every time before any process is started on the required face, respective dimensions (height and centre distance) will be measured with respect to the known dimensions of the base plate. Also, the dimensions will be measured post process in succession. Then, as per the tolerances set, the dimensions are checked and kept within the limits in every pass. One more use of the base plate is for quick-setting of the column in the second set-up. The base plates for both the set-ups are being provided with holes for tenons and allen screws. Tenons and allen screws serve the purpose of locating (fixing) the base plate with respect to the modular fixture. In case of second set-up, additional holes (for locating pins and allen screws) are being drilled to quickly set/position the column. Fig. 13a –Necessity of base plate – as seen in set-up 1

The allowable forces are being calculated for varying load condition 2. The cumulative forces acting on the set-up are not being distributed for calculation purpose. The entire force is being assumed to act on all the individual elements 3. The weight of the column was not distributed while making the calculations. 4. The entire screwjack type arrangement only acts as a support to accommodate the geometry of the job, and majorly to take care of the vibrations produced during machining. Still, for calculation purpose, it is considered to be a load bearing element to evaluate its strength **Points 2 and 3 justify why the factor of safety obtained in the calculations is pretty high. 7.4.2 Distribution of action of forces on various elements…. 1. Due to milling, three forces Px,Pyand Pzact on the column. Tangential component Pzprovides the necessary torque for rotation. This component may tend to lift the column about an axis that is parallel to the axis of the cutter. This lifting is prevented by the clamps, such that, in the first set-up, two clamps are in tension and the remaining two are in compression, alternately. In the second set-up, one is in tension and the other is in compression, alternately. 2. Px acts as a shearing force. Hence, this shearing is resisted by bolts, allenscrews,tenons, locating pins, and frictional component of clamp. 3. Py tends to rotate the column about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the cutter. This rotation is resisted by bolts, allen screws, tenons, and locating pins. 4. The screwjack type arrangement resists Pz component of milling and drilling operations involved. 5. During drilling, Px component will provide the shearing force. This will be resisted by bolts, allen screws, tenons, and locating pins .

  • 73. 73 8.6 Process sheet for machining of columns Cost of machining both the columns= Rs. 11784 /- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • 74. 74 9. Conclusion Cost of machining the columns previously on Skoda machine = Rs. 45000/- approx.. Cost of machining the columns now on HMT machine = Rs. 11784/- approx. Thus, the proposed design gives a cost benefit by a very large margin. This is because of the changeover of the machining centre of the columns, and also due to a substantial reduction in the setting time involved. BEFORE AFTER Total time required to machine the columns previously on Skoda machine Total time required to machine the columns on the proposed HMT machine % reduction in total machining time 22.5 hours 9.82 hours 56.35% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • 75. 75 10. Testing The proposed HMT centre (where the columns are to be machined) is currently overloaded with other work schedules. Hence, unless the estimated targets are achieved, the given fixture design cannot be tested there, and ultimately finalised. As such, the new production set up for the columns is on hold, and they are being still machined on Skoda. 11. Scope for improvement As far as the given project is concerned, we tried to reduce the set up time and cost by proposing a new fixture design. And this design promises to give substantial savings. But, as such, because of time constraints, there doesn’t seem anymore scope for improvement. However, other than the project work, we do want to suggest some other changes that could hopefully give fruitful benefits to the company in the long run. Firstly, the raw materials in the yard in front of Hall no. 2 are not kept in an organized manner. Had we been associated with the company for some more time, we could have thought over a new layout for storage which could have had different predefined areas for storing different materials. Secondly, there is a need for a proper shed to cover these materials. Aesthetically, that’s not a good sign. So that’s probably a grave point to contemplate on its solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
