Do you know how those beautiful and gorgeous knives are produced?

Do you know how those beautiful and gorgeous knives are produced? The following will be answered by Shanghai ANTS machine:

First of all, these knives used in machine tools are made of very durable steel or tungsten carbide. The steel in its original state is actually very soft, so if we want to form cutting, we need a lot of lubrication to cool these metals, Then there is the huge cutting machine used to cut the bar into so-called blanks.

Each blank is then turned individually on a metal lathe, first forming a point on one end, then grinding the other end flat and drilling a center hole, then trimming the diameter to our desired size.

Next is the milling machine, where three blanks are machined at a time, the grooves are carved, and then lubricated again to prevent the tool from overheating. This milling process turns each blank into a preliminary tool. The shorter, smoother parts are called the knives. The shank, the longer grooved part is called the cutting end, which is what we call the cutting edge, and then the same milling process is done again.

Once the milling process is complete, the next thing to do is heat treatment, which is to solidify the steel, first hardening the metals using the molten salt that has been heated, and then soaking them in a salt bath that gets warmer, ranging from 650 to 1200 degrees Celsius , the second stage of heat treatment, is a process called induction, where each tool is put into a large metal coil, the magnetic field inside the coil generates strong heat, which softens our handle to make it more flexible, and then makes the knife The shank is in contact with the grinding wheel, the grit of this grinding wheel is made of diamond particles, which gives it a high-strength ability to corrode steel.

A micrometer is then used to verify the final diameter, and finally the robotic arm runs one tool at a time through a high-precision automatic grinder, uses a diamond wheel to grind the precise cut angle, and determines the final diameter.

We all know that precision is very important for a tool, so the factory uses a variety of optics and numbers together to verify the measurements, and for the final quality test with this sensing probe, it scans every finished product to make sure the surface is as smooth as silk. After this series of machining, our high precision cutting tool is complete.

As a leading manufacturer of industrial lathe machinery and machine tools in China, Shanghai ANTS machine has 20 years of experience in machine tool production. We have a wide range of products, including grinding machines, lathes, milling machines, planer slotting machines, sawing machines, drilling machines, etc., which can meet the needs of all walks of life and are widely used in defense aviation, automobile industry, mold manufacturing, machining, parts processing and other industries.
