In NC machining, the selection of cutting tools is very important, but the common sense in this regard has not been introduced before, so it needs to be supplemented as soon as possible. So let’s introduce it in detail this time,
- Selection criteria of NC tools
Generally speaking, the tool life is closely related to the cutting parameters, so the selection of tools is very important when formulating the cutting parameters. Tool life is usually divided into the highest and lowest. The former is related to the single piece man hour, while the latter is related to the process cost.
When considering the service life of cutting tools, it should be determined according to the degree of disorder of cutting tools and production cost. If it is a multi knife mechanical equipment with messy operation, it should be selected with high service life and good reliability.
CNC tool, which is a kind of tool, has higher requirements for tool than usual. It not only needs good rigidity, strength and precision, but also requires stable scale and good durability.
- Selection of cutting tools for NC turning
NC turning tools usually include type turning tools, pointed turning tools and arc turning tools. When selecting, we should consider all the characteristics of NC machining, and also take into account the tool itself, so as to select the most appropriate tool.
- Selection of cutting tools for NC Milling
The primary requirement for NC milling tools is that they have sufficient stiffness and can be used very well. Therefore, we should consider these in order to select the most appropriate.
