OPTIMIZATION OF THE CUTTING FORCE & POWER CONSUMPTION OF SHAPER MACHINE BY VARYING DIFFERENT PARAMETRES DURING CUTTING OPERATION USING COMPUTER INTERFACE

Abstract

Shaper  machine is used for shaping operation  on the work piece .It works on the principle of Quick Return Mechanism in which forward stroke is cutting while return stroke is idle. In cutting operation large amount of Power is consumed which can be reduced. Previously Force Analysis was done on turning operation to analysis cutting force on tool and work piece. This paper develops a methodology to find out cutting force and  power required by the tool to perform shaping operation on work piece. The cutting force is calculated by using load cell based dynamometer. By increasing the rake angle of tool cutting force and hence power consumption get reduced. In future these Load cell based tool dynamometer can be used to Stress and temperature distribution  on tool and Work piece.
