 FIRST YEAR:

  1. Plan and organize the work to make job as per specification applying different types of basic fitting operations & check for dimensional accuracy following safety precautions. [Basic Fitting Operation – Marking, Hack sawing, filing, drilling, taping ]
  2. Set different shaped jobs on different chuck and demonstrate conventional lathe machine operation observing standard operation practice. [Different chucks: – 3 jaws & 4 jaws, different shaped jobs: – round, hexagonal, square]
  3. Prepare different cutting tool to produce jobs to appropriate accuracy by performing different turning operations. [Different cutting tool – V tool, side cutting, parting, thread cutting (both LH & RH), Appropriate accuracy: – ±0.06mm, Different turning operation – Plain, facing, drilling, boring (counter & stepped), grooving, Parallel Turning, Step Turning, parting, chamfering, U -cut, Reaming, internal recess,
  4. Test the alignment of lathe by checking different parameters and adjust the tool post. [Different parameters – Axial slip of main spindle, true running of head stock, parallelism of main spindle, alignment of both the ]
  5. Set different components of machine & parameters to produce taper/ angular components and ensure proper assembly of the components. [Different component of machine: – Form tool, Compound slide, tail stock offset, taper turning attachment. Different machine parameters- Feed, speed, depth of ]
  6. Set the different machining parameter & tools to prepare job by performing different boring operations. [Different machine parameter- Feed, speed & depth of cut; Different boring operation – Plain, stepped & eccentric]
  7. Set the different machining parameters to produce different threaded components applying method/ technique and test for proper assembly of the components. [Different thread: – BSW, Metric, Square, ACME, ]
  8. Set the different machining parameter & lathe accessories to produce components applying techniques and rules and check the accuracy. [Different machining parameters: – Speed, feed & depth of cut; Different lathe accessories: – Driving Plate, Steady rest, dog carrier and different ]
  9. Plan and perform basic maintenance of lathe & grinding machine and examine their functionality.

SECOND YEAR:

TURNER JOB ROLE – ITI

  • Lathe Operator makes metal articles to required specifications using lathe and cutting tools. Studies drawings and other specifications of parts to be made. Selects metal, holds it in chuck, fixture on lathe as required, centres it by manipulating chuck jaws or otherwise using dial indicator or marking block and securely tightens it in position. Selects correct cutting tool, grinds it if necessary and holds it tight in tool post at correct height. Sets feed and speed and starts machine. Manipulates hand wheels or starts automatic controls to guide cutting tool into or along metal. Controls flow of coolant (cutting lubricant) on edge of tool. Arranges gears in machine to obtain required pitch for screw cutting. Calculates tapers and sets machine for taper turning, controls lathe during operation by means of hand wheels and levers and frequently checks progress of cutting with measuring instruments such as calipers and rule, micrometers, etc. Stops machine, removes completed part and checks it further with instruments to ensure accuracy. Repeats operations if necessary. Cleans and oils machine. Demonstrate the setting &operation of CNC turning machine and produce components as per drawing by preparing part programmes. May be designated as Turner according to nature of work done. May improvise devices and make simple adjustments to machine. May recondition lathe tools.
  • Plan and organize assigned work and detect & resolve issues during execution. Demonstrate possible solutions and agree tasks within the team. Communicate with required clarity and understand technical English. Sensitive to environment, self-learning and productivity.
