MILLING SKILLS

This article stated 17 application skills of milling.

What is milling?

Milling is to fix the blank and use a high-speed milling cutter to cut out the required shape and features. Traditional milling is mostly used for milling simple shapes / features such as profiles and grooves. CNC milling machine can process complex shape and features.
Milling and boring machining center can be used for three-axis or multi axis milling and boring machining, for machining, mold, inspection tool, fixture, thin-walled complex surface, artificial prosthesis, blade, etc. When choosing the content of NC milling, we should give full play to the advantage and key role of NC milling machine.

In the actual production of milling, including machine tool setting, workpiece clamping, tool selection and other application skills, this issue briefly summarizes 17 key points of milling, each of which is worth your in-depth grasp.

POWER CAPACITY

Check the power capacity and rigidity of the machine to ensure that the machine can use the required milling cutter diameter.

WORKPIECE STABILITY

Workpiece clamping conditions and considerations.

OVERHANG

During machining, the tool overhang on the spindle shall be as short as possible.

SELECT THE RIGHT GEAR PITCH OF MILLING CUTTER

Use the correct pitch of milling cutter suitable for the working procedure to ensure that there is not too much blade involved in cutting, otherwise vibration will be caused.

CUTTING KNIFE

For narrow workpiece or gap milling, make sure that there is sufficient blade cutting.

BLADE SLOT TYPE SELECTION

Use positive front angle slot indexable blade as much as possible to ensure smooth cutting action and minimum power consumption.

USE CORRECT FEED

By using the recommended maximum chip thickness, ensure the correct feeding of the blade to achieve the correct cutting effect.

CUTTING DIRECTION

Use milling as far as possible.

PART CONSIDERATIONS

Workpiece material and configuration, as well as the quality requirements of the surface to be processed.

BLADE MATERIAL SELECTION

Select groove type and material according to material type and application type of workpiece.

VIBRATION DAMPING MILLING CUTTER

For a long overhang that is more than 4 times the tool diameter, the vibration trend will become more obvious, and the use of vibration damping tools can significantly improve the productivity.

MAIN DEFLECTION ANGLE

Select the most suitable main deflection angle.

MILLING CUTTER DIAMETER

Select the correct diameter according to the width of the workpiece.

POSITION OF MILLING CUTTER

Position the milling cutter correctly.

CUTTER CUT IN AND CUT OUT

It can be seen that through arc cutting, the chip thickness is always zero when the tool is withdrawn, so that higher feed and longer tool life can be achieved.

COOLANT

Use coolant only if necessary. In general, milling is better performed without coolant.

MAINTENANCE

Follow tool maintenance recommendations and monitor tool wear.

CNC MACHINE BE CLASSIFIED BY SERVO CONTROL MODE

Servo control mode to classify CNC machine tool. (1) open loop control CNC machine tool The feed servo drive of this kind of machine tool is open-loop, that is, there is no detection feedback device. Generally, its driving motor is a stepping motor. The main feature of stepping motor is that every time the control circuit changes the command pulse signal, the motor will rotate a step angle, and the motor itself has self-locking ability. The drive circuit is controlled by the pulse distributor, which controls the coordinate displacement by changing the number of pulses, the displacement speed by changing the frequency of pulses, and the direction of displacement by changing the distribution sequence of pulses. Therefore, this control mode is characterized by convenient control, simple structure and low price. The command signal flow from the CNC system is unidirectional, so there is no stability problem of the control system, but because the error of the mechanical transmission...

SELECTION PRINCIPLE OF CUTTING PARAMETERS FOR SCREW THREAD TURNING

Because the pitch (or lead) of the thread is specified by the drawing, the key to choose the cutting parameters when  turning  the screw thread is to determine the spindle speed n and the cutting depth AP. 1) SELECTION OF SPINDLE SPEED TO DO SCREW THREAD TURNING According to the mechanism that the spindle turns 1 and the cutter feeds 1 lead when turning the thread, the feed speed of the CNC lathe is determined by the selected spindle speed. The thread lead (which is the pitch when the thread is single head thread) instructed in the thread processing program section is equivalent to the feed speed VF VF = n f (1) expressed by the feed rate f (mm / R) From Formula 1, it can be seen that the feed speed VF is proportional to the feed amount F. if the spindle speed of the machine tool is selected too high, the converted feed speed will greatly exceed the rated feed speed of the machine tool. Therefore, when selecting the rotation speed of the main shaft for turning the threa...

SCREW THREAD MACHINING METHOD

In  Metal parts machining  works, screw thread (tapping) be required. The screw thread is mainly divided into: connecting thread and driving thread For  connecting thread , the main  machining  methods are: tapping, threading, turning, rolling, etc. For  transmission thread , the main  machining methods  are: rough and fine turning – grinding；whirlwind  milling  – rough and fine  turning , etc. CNC turned screw thread part The following describes the various screw machining methods: THREAD CUTTING Generally, it refers to the method of machining thread on workpiece with forming tool or grinding tool, mainly including  turning , milling, tapping, threading, grinding and whirlwind cutting, etc. THREAD MILLING On the thread milling machine, the disc milling cutter or comb milling cutter is used for milling. Disc  milling  cutter is mainly used for milling trapezoid external thread of screw rod, worm and o...
