4. Training work
 The designing of all parts of lathe machine is done in Auto cad software.
After the designing the production part comes into play where the bed of
lathe machine is done by C.I casting and gears and apron are made up of
steel. After manufacturing of all parts the assembling is done according to
the drawing. I have also observed that before the installation of lathe
machine how proper testing of soil is done for heavy duty lathe. I also
calculate the dimensions of lathe machine after the production of lathe
machine and observed the difference between the observed value and
technically calculated values. I also came to know the different operating
techniques of the lathe machine and also come to know about the
maintainance of it.

5. LATHE MACHINE
 “the mother of entire tool family”.
 A lathe operates on the principle of rotating workpiece and fixed cutting
tool.
 The cutting tool is feed into the work piece, which rotates about its own
axis, causing the work piece to be formed to the desired shape.

6. HISTORY
 One of the oldest and most important machine tools.
 In 1569, wood lathe were in use in France.
 More demand, manufacturing also started in India.

7. CONSTRUCTION OF LATHE AND PHYSICAL
PROPERTIES OF GREEN SAND:
 Basic material
 Cast iron: Carbon (1.8-4% ) and silicon (1-3% ).
Physical property Equipment used Range
Moisture content Speedy moisture tester 3-5%
Permeability Permeability meter 50-90 N.A-2
Compatibility Compatibility machine 250-950 g/cm2

8. PROCEDURE IN PREPARATION OF LATHE
MACHINE Floor plan: The floor should be planned properly according to the size of machine.Sometimes for the heavy duty lathe
we have to consider the strength of soil that it has the capability to withstand large casting weight.
 Preparation of Greeen Sand Mixture: In mixture of green sand we are adding 92% of green sand, 3-5% water content,
5-7% bentonite powder. We mix all the compostion and thus green sand is prepared.
 Preparation of Pattern: After the preparation of green sand mixture then the pattern of green sand is prepared and we
generally used aluminium for making the pattern
 Mould Preparation: In preparation of mould we put the pattern into the green sand and then the mould takes the
shape of pattern and after we remove the pattern from the mould.
 Cupola furnace: The pig iron along with silicon and manganese is put into cupola furnace where the mixture melts at
12000c temperature.
 Pouring of Cast Iron: After the preparation of mould we put cast iron into the runner and we pour until it comes to the
riser.
 ASSEMBLING: After preparation of all parts the machine should be assembled properly according the drawing
 Grinding and planing: After the solidification the machine is proper grinded with grinder and with the help of planner
we are providing outer finish to it.
 Colouring: After completion of all the processes machine is properly coloured and proper primer is applied before
starting the colouring process.

9. . INSTALLATION OF LATHE MACHINE
 PLANT LAYOUT:
 The floor space should be considered before installation of the machine. The necessary
space for part storage should be left around while selecting space and location for
lathe. Sufficient free space should be left around for the maintainance and overheating.
FLOOR SPACE SELECTION DRAWING shows the plan layout of the lathe machine.
 FOUNDATION:
 Foundation should be prepared as per the FOUNDATION DRAWING. Depth of
foundation depends upon safe bearing capacity of soil. A firm foundation is essential
for heavy duty lathe machine to ensure the working accuracy.
 CLEANING:
 Prior to dispatch, all slides, slide-ways, lead screws, rack, end gear train, all bright and
unpainted surfaces are coated with anti-corrosive/ rust preventive. This should be
removed using kerosene or white spirit and wiped dry. Immediately all the bright
machined surfaces should be oiled.
 LIFTING:

10.  ERECTION:
 The machine erection on the foundation should be carefully done. The foundation bolts and
levelling plates should be arranged as per the foundation drawing. Taper wedges should be
used first to obtain the approximate level.
 LEVELING
 The machine should be levelled accurately to obtain the satisfactory performance. It should be
placed on well laid foundation made according to the foundation drawing. Use precision level
graduated to 0.02mm per metre

37. CONCLUSION
 In this six weeks training I gained a lot of practical knowledge and basic man
management skills. I came to know how the casting process occurs, drawings
and methods of installation. I got technical knowledge about cast iron, silicon,
manganese and pig iron. This six weeks training also gave me a lot of
practical knowledge about specifications and method of handling a project,
which will be very useful for me in future. I also came to know about the
installation, operating and method of casting used at site, and how actually
the progress of work takes place at site. I learned how the different inspection
reports done after the assembling of lathe machine. Before this training I had
lots of doubt about how lathe machine is prepared but now everything is
clear to me. I came to know about the safety measures that everyone have
to adopt on the site while construction. This experience at site will always
help me in my career
