CE 3.2 Project Background
CE 3.2.1 Characteristics of the project
Grinding operations are being performed to obtain and gain fin surface finishing only
after the performance of significant turning operations on a lathe machine to complete each
and every cylindrical work. It is majorly completed to obtain the required part dimensions to
be used in an assembly. Thus in the project of the grinding wheel attachments, I had
performed two distinctive operations within the same machine and this particular attachment
was properly designed. To efficiently verify this specific design, I had fabricated the
subsequent attachment. Furthermore, for the design rigidity as well as vibration damping, I
had to use the software of Inventor and then compared with the respective theoretical
calculation. The several parameters, which I had undertaken within the project were the
higher speed of work for 15 as well as that of the lower speed of 6. I had even chosen A-
60PV grinding wheel and outer diameter of 150 mm and the inner diameter of 20 mm. Thus,
I had proposed a compact design for the grinding wheel only after consideration of these
above provided specifications in the project.

CE 3.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
The project of Design of the Grinding Wheel Attachment on the Lathe Machine was
eventually carried out after considering a subsequent purpose to design as well as fabricate
the respective grinding wheel attachments on a lathe machine by involving proper software
deployment. After initiating this particular project, I had successfully developed few
objectives, which are given below:
 To suggest a compact strategy and even construct a specific grinding wheel
attachments on the lathe machines.
 To effectively design respective grinding wheel attachments only after the subsequent
consideration of typical criterion.
 To properly maintain the low production as well as maintenance expenses to design
these grinding wheel attachments.
 To use the software of Inventor to successfully simulate as well as analyze the
respective project on the lathe machine.
 To setup this entire experiment for the purpose of making my project effective.
 To contrast as well as investigate the several experimental outcomes with each
previous examination and then gain better solutions.
CE 3.2.3 My area of work
To work out over this project of Design of the Grinding Wheel Attachments on the
Lathe Machines; I was recruited as the team leader in this project. As, I had formerly worked
with several similar project kinds and thus this was quite easier for me to complete this
project work all by myself. The vibration absorption, attachment rigidity, deflection of
theoretical shaft as well as work pieces cylindricity were properly considered in this scenario
and hence I did not face any distinctive problem during the completion of this task. With my
core skills of complex problem-solving and the major concepts mechanical engineering, I had

CE 3.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
During this project of grinding wheel, I was hired as the team leader and comprised of
some of the major responsibilities. The most significant responsibility was leading my entire
team and hence providing them guidance to make the project successful. I proposed a
compacted design to these grinding wheel attachments on the lathe machines. I also had to do
regression analysis for the purpose of achieving an accuracy in the work and also had to
reduce the summation of time loss, which was included within the significant traditional
grinding process.
