As an important equipment for modern mechanical processing, the processing efficiency and quality of CNC lathes are directly affected by the selection of tools. Reasonable selection of CNC lathe tools is of great significance to improving production efficiency and reducing processing costs. The following are several key factors to consider when selecting CNC lathe tools:
1.Compatibility of tools and machine tools
First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the selected tools match the specifications, power and clamping system of the CNC lathe. The size, shape and handle type of the tool must meet the requirements of the machine tool to ensure that the tool can be accurately and stably installed on the machine tool and smoothly perform cutting operations.
2.Adaptability of tools and materials
The cutting performance of different materials varies greatly, so it is necessary to select suitable tools based on the hardness, toughness and other characteristics of the processed materials. For example, when processing difficult-to-process materials such as high-strength steel and titanium alloys, carbide tools or diamond tools with good wear resistance should be selected to ensure the durability and processing quality of the tools.
3.Accuracy and durability of tools
CNC lathe processing requires high precision and high efficiency, so the tools must have high precision and durability. High-precision tools can ensure the size and shape accuracy of machined parts, while high-durability tools can reduce the number of replacements and grinding times and improve machining efficiency. When selecting tools, factors such as tool material, structure and manufacturing process should be considered comprehensively.
4.Tool geometry parameters and processing stage
Select appropriate tools and geometry parameters according to the processing stage of CNC lathe parts. In the rough machining stage, the main purpose is to remove the excess, and tools with good rigidity and low precision should be selected; in the semi-finishing and finishing stages, the main purpose is to ensure machining accuracy and product quality, and tools with high durability and high precision should be selected. In addition, it is necessary to select appropriate tools and geometry parameters according to the characteristics of the machining area. For example, when cutting thin-walled parts, tools with sufficient centripetal angles should be selected to reduce cutting forces.
5.Tool reliability and safety
When selecting CNC lathe tools, their reliability and safety must also be considered. The tool and its accessories must have good reliability to avoid accidental damage or potential defects during the machining process, which will affect the smooth progress of the machining. In addition, attention should be paid to the chip breaking and chip removal performance of the tool to ensure that the chips can be discharged in time to avoid entanglement on the tool and workpiece, causing damage or accidents.
In summary, the reasonable selection of CNC lathe tools is the key to ensuring processing quality and improving production efficiency. In the selection process, the matching of the tool and the machine tool, the adaptability to the material, the accuracy and durability, the geometric parameters and the processing stage, as well as the reliability and safety factors should be comprehensively considered to select the appropriate tool.
