![]() ![]() ![]() This operation provides good surface fishing and increases the tool life by reducing its wear rate. Generally, in shaper machine, the machining is done only in the forward stroke and to avoid machining in return stroke clamper is required. During the return stroke, the cutting tool moves upward with the help of clamper which is attached on the tool head.While the machining process due to the quick return motion mechanism the return time reduced which increase the machining speed and reduce the idle time during the return stroke.The rotary motion of the motor drive is converted into reciprocatory motion due to this ram starts reciprocating and machining starts.As the motor drives start the quick return motion mechanism come into play which is responsible for the major cutting operation in the shaper machine. After all this initial procedure the main working starts.The cutting tool always put in a vertical position. The cutting tool is inserted into the tool head which is connected to the ram at the backend. After mounting the work piece a single point tool is required for cutting the excess material.Shaper machine is able to machine horizontal as well as in vertical flat surfaces. It is used to machine a flat surface only so a flat work piece is set on the table by using a vice.The working of the shaper machine is as follow: Lubrication is very important for the proper and smooth functioning of the shaper machine.Īs we already discussed the basic principle and components of the Shaper machine so you can easily understand the working operation of any shaper machine. Lubricating Pump: Its function is to pump the oil from the bottom reservoir into the various parts of the machine. We can rotate the tool head at any angle as per our requirements for machining the workpiece at various angles.Ħ. A clamper is attached on the tool head, its function is to lift the tool upward in return stroke to prevent the damage of wear of the tool. It is mounted on the ram and moves in reciprocating motion with the ram. Tool head: The primary function of the tool head is to hold the tool at an exact position. The feed is provided to the table through the lever form the ratchet mechanism.ĥ. The feed is provided to the table with the help of ratchet and pawl mechanism. With the help of it, we can easily measure the twisted angle of the tool. The table can slides crosswise according to the machining requirements with the help of an apron clamping box. The movement of the working table is controlled by using an automatic feed mechanism. It is attached on the frame of the machine which helps to support the work piece with the help of some vice. Table: Table is a metallic structure having T slots on its top. It provides casing and support to the different parts of the machine such mechanisms, table and ram.Ĥ. Frame: Frame is the basic structure of the machine it is also made with the casting and attached on the base. A single point cutting tool is attached with the ram and ram reciprocates in the guideways of the column.ģ. Ram: Ram is the reciprocating part of the machine which is responsible for the cutting operation. The base of any machine tool helps to reduce the vibration so we can say that base work as damper while the machine is under working operation.Ģ. It is the foundation of any shaper machine that’s why it is made up of cast iron which provides the proper strength to the machine bed. Base: Base is made from the hollow casting. The main parts of the shaper machine are as follow:ġ. The construction of the shaper machine is similar to the conventional machine tools but due to the different cutting operation and the mechanism it has slightly different in construction. ![]() During the machining process, cutting stroke has slow speed while return stroke has high speed. QRMM reduce the return time which increases the machining speed. The working principle is based on the quick return motion mechanism (QRMM). In shaper machine, rotary drive motion is converted into reciprocating motion. The cutting tool is attached with the ram which moves in reciprocating motion with the help of feed drive mechanism. work piece moves upward and downwards according to the requirement or type of machine after each stroke is completed. The work piece mounted in a vice on the machine bed and in shaping machine feed is provided to bed i.e. The cutting of material is done only in forward stroke. one is a forward stroke or cutting stroke and the second is backward or return stroke. In this, a single point cutting tool or a form tool is used which reciprocates over the work piece. Shaper machine is a type of machine tool which is used to machine flat surfaces in horizontal and vertical planes. ![]()
