What are the factors that influence the tool selection in CNC machining centers?


In the process of CNC machining, the selection of the tool is very important. The choice of the tool determines the quality of the workpiece, because there are certain requirements for the tool performance of CNC machining. Different machining parts and different batches determine the choice of tools. Let's take a look at the factors that affect the choice of CNC machining tools.

cnc machining



(1) Production batch
From the processing cost, there is a certain influence on the selection of the tool. If it is a certain part of mass production, special tools are needed, which is relatively cost-effective. However, if the tool is used to produce a single piece or a small batch, the tool is relatively expensive, so it is more appropriate to use a standard tool.

(2) Machine type
The effect of the CNC machine used to complete the process on the selected tool type. High productivity tools can be used to ensure the rigidity of the workpiece system and the tool system. For example, high-speed cutting tools and large-feed turning tools.

Different types of tools are used depending on the requirements of different machining schemes. For example, the hole can be machined by drilling and reaming, and it can also be machined with a tool such as a file. The final selection is based on the machining plan.

(4) Workpiece size and shape
Different dimensions of the workpiece have a certain influence on the type of tool and the choice of specifications. For example, special surfaces require special tools for machining.

(5) Machining surface roughness
The roughness of the machined surface affects the shape and cutting of the tool. For example, when the blank is rough-milled, a coarse-tooth milling cutter can be used, and in the case of finishing, it is preferable to use a fine-tooth milling cutter.

(6) Machining accuracy
The type and shape of the finishing tool are affected by the machining accuracy when selecting, for example, the machining of the hole, drilling, reaming, reaming and boring according to the precision of the hole.

cnc machining

CNC machining has high precision, high efficiency, relatively concentrated machining process and fewer parts clamping times, so it has high requirements for machining CNC tools. From the point of view of the performance of the tool, the CNC tool needs to be higher than the tool used in the ordinary machine tool. Be sure to pay attention to the choice of tools.

Advantages of five-axis machining of aluminum alloy parts

Aluminum alloy is a very good material for parts. Its low density can achieve lightweight parts and its strength is very high even comparable to steel. In addition, its corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are very good. But there is a major defect that precision machining is very difficult, but the emergence of five-axis machining technology has solved this problem well. Today, let’s take a look at the advantages of five-axis machining of this aluminum alloy part. 1. Reduce processing time Table of Contents 1. Reduce processing time 2. Improve processing accuracy 3. High production efficiency In the processing, the flat-bottomed end mill is used to maintain the vertical surface of the complex mold processing surface, which can greatly reduce the processing time. It is also suitable for side milling with angled surfaces, which can eliminate the rib-like shape caused by the spherical end mill processing. The texture...

Elimination of Gear Backlash in CNC Machining Feed System

Elimination of Gear Backlash in CNC Machining Feed System   The transmission gear in the feed system of the CNC machining machine tool must eliminate the transmission gap between the meshing gears as much as possible, otherwise the motion will lag behind the command signal after each reversal of the feed system, which will affect the machining accuracy (accuracy) ). There are the following two common methods for CNC machining machine tools to eliminate the transmission gear gap.   1. Rigidity adjustment method   The rigid adjustment method is an adjustment method that cannot be automatically compensated for the tooth side clearance after adjustment. Therefore, the pitch tolerance and tooth thickness of the gear must be strictly controlled, otherwise the flexibility of the transmission will be affected. This adjustment method has a relatively simple structure and a better transmission rigidity.   (1) Eccentric shaft adjustment method   As shown in Figure 610, the...
