2. • A grinding machine, often shortened to grinder, is a machine
tool used for grinding, which is a type of machining using an
abrasive wheel as the cutting tool.
• Each grain of abrasive on the wheel's surface cuts a small chip
from the work piece via shear deformation.

3.  A milling machine is a machine tool
used to machine solid materials.
Milling machines are often classed in
two basic forms, horizontal and vertical,
which refers to the orientation of the main
spindle.
Milling machines may be manually
operated, mechanically automated, or
digitally automated via computer
numerical control (CNC).
In both grinding and milling machine,
the motors may be dc shunt or
induction type with slip rings and
arrangement for pole changing with cage
motors.

4.  A planer is a type of metalworking
machine tool that uses linear relative
motion between the work piece and a
single-point cutting tool to machine a
linear tool path.
 Its cut is analogous to that of a lathe,
except that it is linear instead of helical.
There is cutting stroke and a quick
return stroke.
Arrangements for speed reversing
should be incorporated.
A DC compound motor can be used.

5.  Most punch presses are large
machines with either a 'C' type frame, or a
'portal' (bridge) type frame.
 Shearing, also known as die cutting,
is a process which cuts stock without the
formation of chips or the use of burning or
melting. Strictly speaking, if the cutting
blades are straight the process is called
shearing.
 On account of heavy fluctuation of
load, a flywheel is provided.
The motor may be DC shunt or
compound or slip ring induction type.

7.  Centrifugal compressors, sometimes referred to as radial compressors, are a
special class of radial-flow work-absorbing turbomachinery that include pumps,
fans, blowers and compressors.
 In the case of centrifugal pumps,blowers,fans and other loads involving the
turbulent flow of fluid,the load torque varies as the square of speed.
The motor may be squirrel cage induction or slip ring induction type.

8.  Excavators are heavy construction
equipment consisting of a boom, bucket
and cab on a rotating platform (known as
the "house").
 The house sits atop an undercarriage
with tracks or wheels.
 All movement and functions of the
excavator are accomplished through the use
of hydraulic fluid, be it with rams or motors.

9. COILER DRIVES
In a single production cycle, the wire is
coiled to spring, knotted at both ends and
heat treated.
The group of six conveyor arms moves
the spring from a processing station to the
other.
When the production cycle is completed,
the springs are collected in the outlet
channel for stored.
The operator no longer has to bend to
collect the springs.

11. When using a drum hoist the hoisting cable is
wound around the drum when the conveyance
is lifted.
INDUCTION MOTORS are used for hoisting.

15. DC torque motors
• Some high-end motors are available for direct
drive servo or force applications (no gears).
• They have low speed (a few rpm), high
precision (with servo-ing), and moderate
torque.
• Typically have large diameter vs. length, and
use rare-earth magnetic material.
• Cost $100’s (but maybe
less as surplus).

16. Sensors
• Shaft encoders can be fitted to almost any DC
motor. They provide position sensing.
• Many motor families offer integrated
encoders.
• Strain gauges can be used to sense force
directly. Or DC brush motor current can be
used to estimate force.

17. Linear movement
• There are several ways to produce linear
movement from rotation:
• Rotary to linear gearing:

18. Linear movement
• Ball screws: low linear speed, good precision
• Motor drives shaft, stages move (must be
attached to linear bearing to stop from
rotating).

19. Linear movement
• Belt drive: attach moving stage to a toothed
belt:
• Used in inkjet printers and some large XY
robots.

20. True Linear movement
• There are some true linear magnetic drives.
• BEI-Kimco voice coils:
• Up to 1” travel
• 100 lbf
• > 10 g acceleration

21. Summary
• AC motors are good for inexpensive high-power
applications where fine control is not needed.
• DC motors provide a range of performance:
– DC brush: versatile, “servo” motor, high speed, torque
– DC brushless: speed/toque depend on electronics
– Stepper: simple control signals, variable
speed/accuracy without gearing, lower power
– Direct-drive (torque) motors, expensive, lower torque
