What is Boring Machine?

A boring machine is a machine which is used for boring large holes on the articles or work items which are not possible to move or rotate on the machine. It is one of the most useful machines which is used on heavy articles like engines, frames, cylinders, land etc. on which the operation of lathe and drilling machine is not possible.

What is Horizontal Boring Machine?

Horizontal boring machines are used to bore large holes in a horizontal direction. Horizontal boring machine is the heavy duty machinery which is used for the boring on large work items which are more in immovable nature, heavy, difficult to balance etc. And it performs multiple tasks like boring, turning, milling, cutting, grinding etc

Horizontal Boring Machine Vs Vertical Boring Machine

The Major Difference

The main difference between the vertical boring machines and the horizontal boring machine is the machine installation and configuration pattern. That means the positioning of operation tools and the placement of work item.

Vertical Boring Machine

In the vertical type of boring machine configuration, the operational tool is placed like normal lathe machinery and performs all the normal lathe machinery functions like cutting, turning, boring, threading etc.

Uses- Vertical boring machines are used in turbines, tires, pipelines, large frames, machine tables etc.

Horizontal Boring Machine

Horizontal boring machine is basically used when boring operation is to be performed on larger parts. In this machine, the spindle is positioned in horizontally and the spindle is placed in the parallel position to the table and ground both.

Uses- Horizontal boring machine is used in boring, shaping, facing, milling and drilling. One of the major uses is when parts are larger in size and crane is to be placed overhead.

Working of Horizontal Boring Machine

Horizontal Boring Machine remains static and the boring tool is rotated. Holes are bored by using boring bars and tools. To bore a hole, the boring tool is affixed on the spindle and the cutter is adjusted on the bar in a specifically required dimension. The major factor in boring is its required measure of the bore in length and sphere.

Parts and Functional Importance of Horizontal Boring Machine

The description and functional importance of parts of the horizontal boring machine is listed below

1.     Bed

A bed is made of cast iron and affixed on the ground. It is placed in the position to support table and column.

2.      Column for Supporting Headstock and Ends

The column is also made of cast iron and provides the support to the headstock and which is moved in an upward and downward direction through the sideways. The column supporting sideways or guide ways is placed at the bed.

3.      Headstock

The headstock is placed on the support of the column and holds the operation tool. A headstock moves in an upward and downward direction for settling the operation tool on the required height of work.   

4.     Table

The table is used to support the work during the boring operation, it provides the T position for holding different parts of the boring machine.

5.      Saddle

The saddle is that part which allows the work item to move in longitude motion on the bed. The saddle also controls the speed of movement through manual or motor is driven force.

6.      Boring Bars

Boring bars are used to hold cutter, spindle, column for the boring operation and supports depends upon the level of boring operation like bore diameter, deep depth or short depth holes etc.

What is Power Press Machines?

A power press machine is a machine which is used for cutting, shaping, blending and pressing any metal sheet into required shape. This is a multi-purpose machine used to shape the metal sheet to be used for getting the desired shape of the parts to be used in electric and electronic appliances, automobile industry etc. Earlier, the task of giving shape to the metal sheet was done manually with great effort and force. The power press machine has revolutionized this process by adding force and accuracy in the operation of pressing.

The working principle of Power Press Machine

Power press machine works on the principle of reforming the metal sheet by applying the required force. The major parts are a bed, ram, clutch, flywheel, and crankshaft. Upper and lower dies are attached to ram and once work piece placed on the bed is fed to the machine, and operation initiated. As a result of the rotary motion of flywheel, pressing and shaping task is performed when upper and lower die put a force together.

Uses of Power Press Machine

Power Press Machine is a multipurpose machine used in various industries for cutting, shaping, and pressing of sheet metal.

Let us see in brief the various uses of power press –

• Power Press Machine is majorly used in manufacturing industries for getting the casing ready for the appliances
• Due to its multi-functionality feature, it is used in all the factories and industrial establishments.
• Power pressing machine is one of the most important machines to learn for every engineering student, so is the part of every technical institute’s workshop.
• This machine is part of every electronic and electric appliance factory.

Benefits of Power Press Machine

Multi Functionality of power press machine has bestowed us with various under mentioned benefits –

• Earlier the task of pressing and shaping was performed manually, this machine has resulted in the huge saving of effort and labour
• It is designing in the way that work pieces need not to arrange again and again on the machine.
• Power Press machine serves the multiple purposes of cutting, pressing, trimming, straightening etc.
• Power Press machine is much easier to work with, in comparison to the manual effort.

Safety Measures

Power press machine falls in the category of heavy machines, so it is really important to take care of few guidelines, while using the power press machine at workshop or factory –

• First and foremost thing that person responsible for operating the machine should be given proper training.
• Working of the machine should be explained to every person responsible for any kind of job on a power press machine
• Due maintenance activity should be carried out in the factory or workshop as per the requirement, including the examination by a technical expert of major components responsible for dis-functioning to avoid unwanted consequences.
• When not in use, the power of the machine should be switched off.
• Working instructions that need to be followed should be either pasted on the machine or will be handy to the operator.
• A proper record of power press maintenance activity should be maintained to schedule maintenance activity well on time.
