Performance Analysis of a Special Purpose Machine to Enhanance the Production of Engine Block

Special Purpose Machine Plays very important role in industry to improve the productivity. In this paper we are going to discuss about Horizontal Locus Clearance Milling Machine. The problem associated with the machine was that it was a tedious and time consuming part to mill the locus clearance in the engine block on three different machines. Also the most difficult task was to mill the portion in locus type pattern. Also the time taken for milling operation was quite large and there was a scope in reduction of machining time so by reducing these two parameters of vibration and machining time more output could be achieved. Also in this time intense competition company could not afford any complaints about quality of work. The above problem could be solved by designing a machine having a hydraulic type spindle having milling tool such that angular or rotational motion can be achieved. Though it will increase the cost of designing the new machine it will be nullified by reduction in machining time.
