Abstract – As India trying to solve the problem of unemployment without looking to manufacturing sector it wont happen and enhancing the productivity through innovation and also enhance the competitive edge and tapping onto export business for engineering. Lathe is the oldest machine tool with certain machining operation and increasing the productivity on the operation mechanism through small changes of the process. With the thorough observation the starting process of machining is centering and lean changes can also improves productivity.

INTRODUCTION

The lathe is one of the most essential machine tools. This multipurpose equipment is commonly used for executing a wide range of functions that includes shaping many solid substances such as wood, metal, etc. It is an important workshop tool which is extensively utilized in several industrial segments and especially in the metal shaping industries.

PROJECT PURPOSE

This project leads to: More productivity of crops Reduction in time

Less labor work Affordable equipment

DEFINITION

As lathe is the most conventional machine which remove chips from the job and chips is removed and desired shape is obtain on it. Beginning the procedure to start operation on lathe requires the centering of tool through proper balancing and taking the single point cutting tool to centre of job piece. It requires certain time at the beginning of process. If we are making a customized product than it would increase the time to adjust the tool and also more number of time we have to adjust that tool , so we are designing this tool to decrease overall time to manufacture product.

The purpose is to reduce the time consumption and make pro- duct most effective.

CONCLUSION

After the observation of lathe machines in industries we found some problem regarding the tool cantering in lathe. One of the major issue was the time consuming process of fixing the tool in tool post at required level with the help of the strips. In order to get required height of the tool, worker has to set the number of strips below the tool which quantity is unknown so worker has to perform that particular task number of tims just to set the tool. so we decided to fix this problem by eliminating the process of resting the strips below the tool. We design the tool post in which strips are not required and tool can be set in less time. The design required some essential analysis in solid work software for safety and performance of actual working model of our design. In process of analysis we have to change our design certain time for removing flaws from our design model.
