Experimental Study on Movement of Crankshaft During Machining

This paper presents the experimental analysis of movement during machining operations on forged crankshaft. The major factors that affect the productivity of industry are observed. Better utilization of inputs provides variation, high efficiency, reduction in handling, and increased efficiency of material flow. These important factors affect the productivity of industry. Total distances traveled by work piece are measured with the help of flow process chart and measuring tape. Modified horizontal and vertical distances traveled by work piece are measured. It is found that traveled distance is reduced by 809 inch in horizontal and 128 inch in vertical.
