This report discusses progress made in shaft fabrication, including stiffness calculations, dimensions, and manufacturing details. It also covers systematic errors such as vibration and tool wear affecting the process.
E N D
Group 2 – Progress Report 2/23/09
Purpose (Justin) • Talk about progress the past week • Fabrication of shaft • Shaft exercise • Lessons learned • Getting ahead of schedule
Gantt Chart (Justin) • (Switch to Excel)
Stiffness Calculation (Corey) Keq=10.426 N/μm
Pre-process Plan (Yi Fei) • Face-off right most face • Drill live center • Rough cut section A, B, C, and then D • Finish cut section A, B, C, and then D • Cut part to length, take part out C B D A
Process Plan (Yi Fei) • Face-off right most face • Drill live center • Turn down whole length to 1.07” diameter • Rough cut and finish cut section C, B, and then A • Take part out, cut to length, turn part around • Rough cut and finish cut section D C B D A
Manufacturing (Mark) • Details
Test Cut Results (Corey) • The measured diameters were greater than the target diameter • The largest diameters were measured from the cantilevered cuts • ~.003 error in touching off tool • Free end cuts were performed last
Nonsystematic Errors - Thermal From Manufacturing Engineering and Technology - Kilpakjian CTE=12.2 µm/m-°C ∆L~1 µm
Non-Systematic Errors: Vibration • Rotating machinery may excite natural frequencies of lathe, tool, or shaft. → Be sure work-piece is centered → Hold shaft with both chuck and live-center → Hold shaft as close to cutting zone as possible
Systematic Errors: Tool slip or work-piece slip • Cutting forces may cause the tool or work-piece to shift because both are held with friction forces only. • Cause a shift in mean results →Use moderate feed-rates and depths of cut (accuracy more important than time for this operation) Cutting forces on order of 250N-1000N http://www.sabanciuniv.edu/mdbf/mechatronics/eng/Arastirmalar/Projeler/images/clip_image008.jpg
Systematic Errors: Tool Wear • Any tool wear will result in oversized dimensions • Not enough cutting done to be a large factor of error →Check tool-zeroing often Taylor-Tool Life Expectancy Eqation: V_c*T^n = C
Concerns • Will the current shaft work? • Making sure the second shaft gets manufactured ‘properly’
