    A Shaper Machine

    Uploaded by

    Rey Charvin S. ROCO
    A shaper machine uses a single-point cutting tool on a reciprocating ram to machine flat surfaces and cut grooves on a workpiece. As the ram moves back and forth, the tool removes material from the workpiece on the forward stroke only. The return stroke is non-cutting to avoid poor surface finish and tool wear. Key parts include the ram, tool head, table to hold the workpiece, and clapper box to provide clearance for the tool on the return stroke. The machine can machine metal accurately using this linear motion process.

    SHAPER MACHINE

    A shaper is a type of 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
    (archetypally) linear instead of helical.
    Metal-cutting machine in which the work piece is
    usually held in a vice or similar device that is clamped
    to a table and can be manually operated or power
    driven at right angles to the path of a chisel like
    cutting tool with only one cutting edge held on the
    end of a reciprocating ram. A moving table feeds the work piece in small, discrete increments at
    the end of each stroke of the tool, and a scalloped but essentially flat surface is generated on
    the work piece. The adjustable mounting of the tool permits the cutting of grooves and the
    generation of surfaces at almost any angle to one another.
    The rams on most shapers reciprocate horizontally. Shapers with vertical rams are known as
    slotters, or die shapers, and are frequently provided with rotary tables. Means are provided on
    all shapers for varying the length of stroke and speed of the ram.

    Operation
    Shaper machine works on the quick return mechanism. It is used to shape the metal or make
    flat surfaces, making grooves and slots. It cuts the metal in one stroke in back motion or in froth
    motion and the remaining one is useless. The working of shaper machine can be described as
    follow.

    1. First the job is fixed to the machine table.

    2. The single point cutting tool is mounted on the tool post situated on the ram.

    3. Now the motor start by manually which create reciprocating motion of ram by quick
    return mechanism.

    4. When the ram is in reciprocating motion, the tool rubs the work piece, which removes
    unwanted material from it. It cuts the metal in forward stroke.

    5. While return strokes the clapper provide the clearance between tool and work piece,
    which make sure no cutting in return stroke. If the tool cuts material in both in forward
    and return stroke it give poor surface finish and also cause for tool wear.

    Shaper Machine Parts

    Parts and Functions


    Base - It is the main body of the machine. It consist all element of machine. It works as pillar for other
    parts. Base is made by cast iron which can take all compressive loads.

    Ram - It is the main part of the shaper machine. It holds the tool and provides the reciprocating motion
    to it. It is made by cast iron and move over ways on column. It is attached by the rocker arm which
    provide it motion in crank driven machine and if the machine is hydraulic driven it is attached by
    hydraulic housing.

    Tool head - It is situated at the front of the ram. Its main function is to hold the cutting tool. The tool can
    be adjusted on it by some of clamps.

    Table - It is the metal body attached over the frame. Its main function is to hold the work piece and vice
    over it. It has two T slots which used to clamp vice and work piece over it.

    Clapper box - It carries the tool holder. The main function of clapper box is to provide clearance for tool
    in return stock. It prevents the cutting edge dragging the work piece while return stock and prevent tool
    wear.

    Column - Column is attached to the base. It provides the housing for the crank slider mechanism. The
    slide ways are attached upper section of column which provide path for ram motion.

    Cross ways - It consist vertical and horizontal table sideways which allow the motion of table. It is attach
    with some cross movement mechanism.

    Stroke adjuster - It is attached below the table. It is used to control the stroke length which further
    controls the ram movement.

     Table supports - These are attached front side of the table and used to support the weight of table
    during working.
