ABSTRACT:
Lathe is considered as one of the oldest machine tools and is widely used in
industries.It is called as mother of machine tools. It is said that the first screw cutting lathe
was developed by and Englishman named Henry Maudslay in the year 1797. Modern high
speed, heavy duty lathes are developed based on this machine.
Feed mechanism is one of the major task in all the machine operations. The Bar feeding
mechanism is a metal cutting machine tool designed to feed the metal.
As in case of lathe, feed mechanism is of much imporatance in all the other
machines like sewing machine, crushers, grinders, shaping and milling machines. The
machines are exclusively intended for mass production and they represent faster and more
efficient way to feed the materials.
They are several mechanisms to make thee carriage and cross slide move
automatically and to change the direction of their movement.There are numerous machines
around us where the feed mechanism is implemented successfully by the help of recent
development in mechanical like gears, cams etc-, electronics development as in case of
sensor, programing etc.
In this microproject we are interested in making a small working model in
order to show how the feed mechanism exactly works as in case of machines.
INTRODUCTION:
Feed mechanism is the process in machine involving the feeding
of the materials or the specimen or the workpiece at the required rate into the
working action so that the desired product is obtained. As in case of healthy
development of a child a proper nutrition or the feed is necessary, so also in case
of machines a proper FEED MECHANISM is very much necessary.
Feed mechanism is involved in various machining processes like
lathe , crushers , millers , shaping machines , grinding machine , sewing machines
etc. Feed mechanism should be perfect in order to get the desired product. As in
case of crushers and grinders the material flow should be at a proper rate. If the
materials rate is more desired product would be less efficient , more feed rate
many destroy the took used for crushing and grindind operations.
Feed mechanism in case of lathe is given by the movement of
carriage and cross slide in both the directions. It involves gears and rods in order
to give the feed. In saving machine the material is fed with the help of small
rollers.
COMPONENTS:
Base
Wooden Material
Nuts
Bolts
Other Fixing Agents
Balls
DIAGRAM:
WORKING:
This was a challenging model to build. There are many small pieces in the marble
holding tower that you cant see. It is one of the most popular models for people
to play with .. it is fascinating to watch the marbles come out as you crank it.
When we feed a ball into a block from the top, with the help of rod sliding
motion is takes place due to handle. Due to this sliding motion the ball comes
outside of the block.
TYPES:
Forward feeding
Reverse feeding
Drop feeding
Clamp feeding
Puller feed mechanism

Forward feeding:

Sometimes written feed forward , is a term describing an

element or pathway within a control system which passes a controlling signal
from a source in its external operator , to a load elsewhere in its external
environment.

Reverse feeding:
It occurs when electric power is being indused into the local
power gril. Power flows in the opposite direction from its usual flow.

Drop feeding:
It is a mechanism for feeding the workpiece through a sewing machine as it is
being stitched. It is most useful for sewing heavy materials where needle feed is
mechanically inadequate.

A base clamp or base clip is a device used to attach and seal a base onto
a fitting such as a barb or nipple.
ADVANTAGES:

Simple in construction.
It is a compact model.
Less maintenance
Fast production.
Limitations:

Additional cost is required to do the automation.

Metal cutting industries and workshops.
 Application:

Small and medium scale industries application.

Used in stone and coal crushers , lathe, shaping, milling,grinding machines.
Its main application is in the field of sewing machine.
It is also used in printers.
CONCLUSION:
Feed mechanism helps in analyzing the detail study on the links and its movement. It
further helps us in achieving a good theoretical as well as a practical design. It also helps
us in analyzing the strength and the material properties of the links which we have used
in this project.
Feed mechanism in machines project helps us a lot in the aspect of design, knowing
more about relative velocities and acceleration of various links involved and also about
the material properties with which we have worked out. So we are very much eager to
upgrade this project in to fullyAutomatic feed mechanism by using program and
sensors in future days.
