Parts of Slotting MachineĪ slotter machine consists of the following different parts: If we have to cut it into several sections, we manually feed it to the work table, and as per demand, it cuts.

Now we provide the power as per gear the crank turns and the crank is attached to the ram so the ram moves up and down.ĭuring the down (RAM goes down) there is a cutting stroke and there is no cut while going up or returning the stroke. We have combined the workpiece to the work table and manually we bring the ram near to the workpiece and according to the ram we adjust the worktable and then we have to clamp it. And as by these, the ram goes up and down. So, what occurred here is when we increase or decrease the gear speed, the rotation of the crank increases and decreases. Now the ram is attached to the crank and the crank is connected to the gears. The working of the slotting machine is similar to that of the shaper machine, but the main difference between them is that the shaper machine works horizontally, while the slotting machine works vertically The slotting machine is used for cutting grooves, keys, and slots of various shapes making regular and irregular surfaces both internal and external cutting internal and external gears and profiles The slotter machine can be used on any type of work where vertical tool movement is considered essential and advantageous. The tool we use in this is the Single Point cutting Tool which is made up of High-Speed Steel. The slotting machine is a very old type of machine and was invented by BRUNEL. Slotter machines can be considered vertical shaper machines because both are very similar in many ways. Here the Ram (Tool attached) moves reciprocating, whereas In shaper the ram moves horizontally. The slotting machine is mainly used for cutting planes, forming surfaces and keyways, etc., and is suitable for single or small batch production.Ī Slotter machine is defined as a machine tool uses for removing unwanted material chips from the workpiece to make splines, grooves, and more. Slotting machines are reciprocating machines that are mainly used to manufacture horizontal, vertical, or flat surfaces.
