What is WinCC faceplate?
A Faceplate is a configured group of standard HMI objects that can have user defined properties and events configured. Faceplates can be modified in a central library for project wide updates and can be easily shared between developers through the innovative library concept.
Why faceplate is used?
A faceplate is a circular metal plate used for holding workpieces in a lathe. When the workpiece is clamped to the faceplate of the lathe, turning can begin.
What is turning and facing?
Milling and turning both involve removing material to produce parts with specific features. Facing is the process of removing material from the end and/or shoulder of a workpiece, using a special tool to produce a smooth surface perpendicular to the rotational axis of the workpiece.
What is catch plate?
Noun. catch plate (plural catch plates) A rectangular piece of metal with one or more holes into which a pin or tenon (of a lock or other mechanism) fits. A plastic plate with a protruding lip used by young children who drop food when eating.
What is the turning process?
Turning is a machining operation performed on a lathe in which the workpiece rotates at high speeds while a fixed cutting tool removes material. The most obvious use for a lathe is to manufacture pins.
What is the facing process?
Facing on a milling machine is the process of cutting a flat surface perpendicular to the axes of the milling cutter. This process removes the material by rotating the facing tool in the counterclockwise direction as the table feeds the work piece across the cutter.
What is the use of angle plate?
An angle plate is a work holding device used as a fixture in metalworking. Angle plates are used to hold workpieces square to the table during marking out operations. Adjustable angle plates are also available for workpieces that need to be inclined, usually towards a milling cutter.
What is Mandrell?
mandrel, cylinder, usually steel, used to support a partly machined workpiece while it is being finished, or as a core around which parts may be bent or other material forged or molded.
What are the disadvantages of turning?
Disadvantages of the turning process:
- Limited to rotational parts.
- Part may require several operations and machines.
- High equipment cost.
- Significant tool wear.
- A large amount of scrap.
