Machining is an important manufacturing process that is used in a wide range of applications. Numerical control is a programmable automation in which process is controlled by Numbers, Letters, and symbols. CNC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools like lathes, mills and grinders.
For each component, we created a detailed engineering working drawing that helped to shape and construct all the operations and procedures that must be undertaken and controlled to attain component machining without any breakdown or failure. Through hands-on machining, we discovered many different factors involved in milling, drilling, and the effects they exhibited on the tolerance and surface finish of a part. The main relevant factors that we examined were tool selection, speeds, feeds, and material selection. The extent to which these factors can influence machining is presented.
The project establishes new ways to systematically perform machining in a safe and stable manner without impacting the quality of the surface finish having high precision and accuracy.
