    Understanding Quick Return Mechanism

    Quick return mechanism is a common principle on shaper and slotter machines. This principle helps to change circular motion into reciprocating motion which in return move the ram forward and backward. In this article, you’ll get to know the definition, applications, diagram, parts, types, working principle, advantages, and disadvantages of the quick return mechanism. What…

  • Things you need to know about lapping process

    Things you need to know about lapping process

    Lapping is a popular operation today used for various surface finishing operations, using loose abrasive powders as grinding agents. It is performed normally at low speeds. This mechanical process is carried out on products that demand very tight tolerances of flatness, parallelism, thickness or finish. Applications of lapping processes include cutting tools, printing equipment, transmission…
