Manufacturing Processes Questions and Answers - Shaper Mechanism

1. Which of the following part of shaper provides straight line motion of tool?
a) Cross rail
b) Column
c) Ram
d) Table

Answer: c
Explanation: Ram carries tool head and provides straight line motion to a tool.

2. Which of the following part of shape is used to hold the tool?
a) Cross rail
b) Tool head
c) Ram
d) Vice

Answer: b
Explanation: Tool head is used for tool holding purpose. It is attached to ram.

3. Which of the following can be used as job holding device in shaping machine?
a) Cross rail
b) Column
c) Ram
d) Vice

Answer: d
Explanation: Vice is a job holding device. It have good efficiency as holding device.

4. Which of the following shaper machine cuts in return stroke?
a) Vertical shaper
b) Horizontal shaper
c) Draw cut shaper
d) Universal shaper

Answer: c
Explanation: Draw cut shaper cuts in the return stroke. While in general cutting takes place in forward stroke.

5. Slotted link of crank and slotted lever mechanism is also known as
a) Lever
b) Rocker
c) Crank
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: b
Explanation: As slotted arm does not make complete revolution during cutting, hence it is also known as rocker.

6. Slotted link of crank and slotted link mechanism is pivoted to
a) Fulcrum
b) Lever
c) Tool
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: a
Explanation: Slotted link is pivoted to fulcrum. Slotted arm does not make complete revolution during cutting.

7. Time of return stroke is ________ the time of forward stroke in crank and slotted link mechanism.
a) Less than
b) More than
c) Equal to
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: a
Explanation: Time of return stroke is less than the time of forward stroke in crank and slotted link mechanism. It reduces the time of idle stroke.

8. In crank and slotted link mechanism, cutting angle is 220 degrees. What should be the return stroke angle?
a) 12
b) 90
c) 140
d) 360

Answer: c
Explanation: Return stroke angle = 360 – cutting angle. Cutting takes place in forward stroke.

9. In a crank and slotted lever mechanism, length of fixed link and crank is 250 mm and 100 mm respectively. Inclination of slotted lever with vertical at extreme position in degrees is equal to
a) 25
b) 23.6
c) 28.3
d) 20

Answer: b
Explanation: Use simple geometry in a triangle. Return stroke angle = 360 – cutting angle.

10. In a crank and slotted lever mechanism, length of fixed link and crank is 250 mm and 100 mm respectively. Ratio of cutting stroke time to return stroke time will be
a) 5
b) 2.6
c) 1.7
d) 0

Answer: c
Explanation: Ratio of cutting stroke time to return stroke time = (cutting angle/return angle).
