Differential casing is an important component of an automobile. It is first casted with sand casting and then
two machining process (i.e.) milling and turning are carried out on it. In this project the machine development process is
introduced. In which the milling and turning operation are combined together to form a same differential. As a result of
which the production will be increased, reduce loading/unloading time, reduce lead time, increase surface finish and
reduce cost per component of differential case. The main aim of this study is to reduce cost per differential case
component by reducing cycle time and improving accuracy in low cost then current machining process.
For this combined machining operation a new design of jaws of chuck is designed for the ATM machine with same
operational sequence with turning and milling machining operations which results in optimum machining time. Compare
the old machining cycle time with the new developed machining cycle time.
