A Comprehensive Study Optimization and Analysis of Gear Alignments for Special Purpose Radial Milling Machine

Abstract

Now days Milling and drilling operations not uniquely did on single machine. To avoid this confusion of doing manufacturing operations a small difference in gear box design may give a single option solution to the manufacturers. A liver based shifter used as a differential to change gear systems to perform these two different operations on a single machine. .

On the proposed above operations torque generation will play an important role. From the survey taken before thesis base papers it is observed that low torque is good for milling and high torque is good for drilling. Gear box outline will be same for casing to avoid machine space and change in gear alignment by addition of a shifter to perform good results for drilling and milling. Gear design and gear ratios are theoretically calculated and the whole gear alignment  performed in design software creo  3.0. Simulations and stress analysis and torque generation graphs have been generated by using ANSYS work bench 15.0. L18 taguchi orthogonal array on torque generated and spindle RPM on these cases has been submitted. Angle drilling is one of the major time taking processes in large scale production industries. To overcome such deviation special purpose radial drilling with milling attachments introducing in market. Present paper is a partial fulfillment to the present market needs to understand the variations in machine design accessories.

 Total design will be analyses by using finite element analysis in terms of torque applicable at each point with different speed ratios on different materials.

Simulations on each material will be submitted with torque applications and performance comparison with before designs of general purpose machines.
