Design of Two Speed Gearbox for CNC Lathe

Abstract

Since gearboxes in lathe are positioned inside the headstock, an aftereffect of vibration is experienced in the spindle and further leads to inaccuracy in the finished products, also causes inconveniences during the maintenance and also increases difficulties if any replacements are needed. In a complex work the accuracy plays a major role and hence the above problems are to be eliminated accordingly. This projectaims to design a gearbox which can be placed outside the headstock and also aims to design in such a way that a single base is utilized for Lathe and new gearbox.
