DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF TURNING FIXTURE FOR ELBOW
Guided by,• Ms.J.Jayanthi, B.E.,
Lecturer
Presented by,• G.Anandha Kumar• G.Muthu thiyagarajan• C.Padmanabha• B.Prakash
ABSTRACT
Pipe Elbows are widely used in industries to change the flow direction.
So that in industrial power piping the elbows place a dominant roll.
The edge preparation of elbows generally carried out by boring machine.
It is a time consuming process so we are design a fixture by which we can do the edge preparation in lathe it self.
DESIGN OF TURNING FIXTURE
• FOR THREE INCH ELBOW:
LEG PLATE DIMENSION:Center to edge dimension = A + (D/2)We know that,Out side dia at the bevel of elbow (D) = 88.9mmCentre to face distance (A) = 114.3mmTherefore,Center to edge dimension = 114.3 + (88.9/2) = 157.98mmAllow machining tolerance for facing, Center to edge dimension = 155.98mm
Contd.,
RADIUS CALCULATION FOR BLOCK AND CLAMP
radius of curvature = D/2 = 88.9/2
= 44.5mmAllow 1.5 mm clearance,
Radius for block and clamp = 46mm

DESCRIPTION QUANTITY
01 Base plate 01
02 Leg 02
03 Weldment 01
04 Side plate 02
05 Block 02
06 Top clamp 01
07 Stud 02

VARIUS PARTS AND FUNCTIONS
CHUCK BASE PLATE
The figure shows the chuck base plate which is having mounting arrangements with Center Lathe. The dia of 78mm hub is fixed with the chuck.
LEG The leg, which is getting screwed with the chuck base plate and holds the job-holding device at its diameter location.
SIDE PLATE
The side plate, which is having controlled dimensions, derived from the face to centre distance.
PLATE It is the drilled plate, which is having mounting arrangements for the indexing of elbow.
BLOCK The block is used to hold the elbow. It is welded with the side plate.
STUDThis is being welded with side plate. This studs aids to clamp the job with the fixture.
FIT BOLT The figure shows the fit locator bolt. For 24 mm length we have make M20 thread. This is used to fit the leg with the weldment. This bolt is a stepped section.
TOP CLAMP Clamp is also used to hold the elbow which
has a calculated dia of 46mm.It is mounted over the elbow by means of a stud.
ADVANTAGES
• Time consumption for a edge preparation in horizontal boring machine is high. This fixture reduces the time up to 8minutes per a single job.
• Machining will be faster and level of accuracy also high.
• Setting time for fixing the elbow is less• Optimum centre of the elbow can be
maintained throughout the operation.
DISADVANTAGES
• The turning fixture is depends on the size of the elbow. So separate fixture should be designed for different elbows.
• This is only suitable for mass production.
COST ESTIMATION
• Cost of the material• Cost of fasteners• Cost of 3” elbow• Machining cost• Other charges
• TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT
CONCLUSION
Thus the turning fixture for three inch elbow is designed and fabricated. The turning fixture reduces time consumption in lathe for mass production. Using this fixture edge preparation operation like grooving, facing, turning can be performed easily.
