A Complete Collection Of CNC Tools, Some Of Which You Have Never Used

Overview of CNC tools

1.Definition of CNC tool:

CNC tools refer to the general term for various tools used in conjunction with CNC machine tools (CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, CNC drilling machines, CNC boring and milling machines, machining centers, automatic lines and flexible manufacturing systems).

2. Features of CNC machine tools:

1) Good and stable cutting performance The tool has good rigidity and high precision, and can perform high-speed cutting and powerful cutting.

2) The knife has a high service life. A large number of hard alloy materials or high-performance materials are used in the knife (such as ceramic inserts, cubic boron nitride inserts, diamond composite inserts and coated inserts, etc., and high-speed steel knives are mostly high-cobalt. , high-vanadium, aluminum-containing high-performance high-speed steel and powder metallurgy high-speed steel).

3) The tool (Inserts) has good interchangeability and can be changed quickly. The tool can be replaced automatically and quickly, and the auxiliary time is shortened.

4) The tool has high precision. The tool is suitable for processing high-precision workpieces, especially when indexable inserts are used, because the tool

The tool body and insert have high repeatability positioning accuracy, so good processing quality can be obtained.

5) The tool has reliable chip volume and chip breaking performance. The use of CNC machine tools cannot be stopped at will to process chips. Long chips appearing during processing will affect the safety of the operator and processing efficiency.

6) The tool has the function of adjusting the size. The tool can be pre-adjusted outside the machine (tool setting) or compensated inside the machine to reduce the time for tool change and adjustment.

7) Tools can achieve serialization, standardization and modularization Tool serialization, standardization and modularization are conducive to programming, tool management and cost reduction.

8) Multifunctional composite and specialization.

3. The main application fields of CNC cutting tools include:

1) Automobile industry The processing characteristics of the automobile industry are firstly mass production and assembly line production, and secondly, relatively fixed processing conditions. In order to optimize production, improve quality and efficiency, the automotive industry puts forward very strict requirements on the processing efficiency and service life of cutting tools. At the same time, due to the use of assembly line operations, in order to avoid the shutdown of the entire production line due to tool change and cause huge economic losses, a mandatory unified tool change method is usually adopted. This also places uniquely high demands on the stability of the tool quality.

2) Aerospace industry The processing characteristics of the aerospace industry are first, high processing precision requirements, and second, difficult processing of materials. Most of the parts and components processed in this industry are high-temperature alloys and nickel-titanium alloys (such as INCONEL718, etc.) with very high toughness and strength.

3) Most of the parts to be processed by large turbine, steam turbine, generator and diesel engine manufacturers are bulky and expensive. During processing, it is very important to ensure the accuracy of the processed parts and reduce waste products. Therefore, in these industries Imported knives are often used here.

4) Enterprises that use more CNC machine tools As the saying goes, "a good horse is equipped with a good saddle". In order to improve processing efficiency and product quality, and give full play to the use efficiency of CNC machine tools, it is easier to achieve the expected effect by using imported tools.

5) Foreign-funded enterprises In these enterprises, they often pay more attention to the guarantee of production efficiency and quality. In addition, there are many other industries, such as the mold industry, military enterprises, etc., where the application of CNC tools is also very common.

Classification and characteristics of CNC tools

• According to the tool structure can be divided into:

1) Integral type: the cutting tool is integrated and made of one blank, without separation;

2) Welding type: using welding method to connect, the tool holder;

3) Machine clip type: machine clip type is divided into non-reversible and indexable; usually CNC tools adopt machine clip type!

4) Special types: such as composite cutters, shock-absorbing cutters;

• According to the material used in the tool can be divided into:

1) High-speed steel cutting tools;

2) Carbide cutting tools;

3) ceramic knives;

4) Ultra-high pressure sintered tool;

• According to the tool processing method can be divided into:

1) Turning tools: divided into outer circle, inner circle, thread, grooving, cutting tools, etc.

2) Drilling tools; including drill bits, taps, reamers, etc.

3) Boring tools;

4) Milling tools; including face milling cutters, end milling cutters, side milling cutters, etc.
