Roller Axle Turning Lathe Technology Parameters
The roller axle turning lathe is a machine tool used specifically for turning axle rods. It provides efficient and precise machining of the axle surfaces while ensuring safety and quality. This type of lathe includes a large number of cutting tools and accessories that make it particularly useful for turning axle rods. Lets take a look at some of the parameters that determine the performance of a roller axle turning lathe.
The spindle speed is probably the most significant parameter of a roller axle turning lathe. The spindle speed denotes the rotational speed of the spindle within which the cutter executes the cutting action. It is usually expressed in revolutions per minute or rpms. Fast spindle speeds allow for better cutting accuracy and higher feed rates.
The clearance angle is the angle at which the cutting tool is inclined in relation to the contact surface between the spindle and the workpiece. This relationship is important for preventing excess wear and tear on the spindle and for providing better cutting surface finishes. It is usually expressed in degrees.
The feed rate is the speed at which the cutting tool moves through the workpiece. This value also depends on the spindle speed, but is primarily affected by the cutting force applied by the tool. Higher feed rates correlate to higher cutting forces and increased chatter.
The overhang is a parameter that is determined by the length of the cutter and the position of the center of the spindle in relation to the axis of the tool. It is expressed in millimeters and should be kept as low as possible for a better cutting performance.
The cutting depth is the maximum depth of cut that a particular cutting tool is capable of producing. This parameter is expressed in millimeters and usually corresponds to the maximum depth that the tool is able to perform. Higher cutting depths require more powerful cutting tools.
The feed pitch is the distance between successive passes through the workpiece while cutting. This parameter is expressed in millimeters per tooth and is an indication of how accurately the tool is able to move through the workpiece. It is important to note that the accuracy of the pitch depends largely on the tools cutting edge sharpness and form.
The cutting pressure is the amount of force required to produce a specified level of material removal. This parameter is expressed in kilograms per square centimeter and is an indication of the cutting force applied to the workpiece. Higher cutting pressures are needed to produce deeper cuts, while lower pressures are needed for high-precision finishes.
The diameter is the dimension used to describe the size of circular features such as the shaft diameter. It is expressed in millimeters. The size of a particular cutting tool is usually determined by the diameter of the surrounding shaft.
The radial runout is a common parameter used to measure the accuracy of the shaft length and the uniformity of the spindles rotation. The radial runout is expressed in millimeters and is an indication of how well balanced the spindle is for a given cutting task.
The above parameters are just some of the most important characteristics that are typically associated with a roller axle turning lathe. It is important to consider all of these parameters in order to ensure that the desired operation is being performed with optimal accuracy and precision.
