1 Introduction
CNC tool spiral cutters are essential in almost all industries, particularly those with high-precision requirements. CNC tool spiral cutters are used to increase the strength, accuracy, and life of the cutting tool. It uses multi-axis CNC machine to accurately grind the cutting edge of the tool according to the machining requirement. The grinding machine should be equipped with internal and external grinding heads and CNC system to optimize the grinding operation. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy and quality of the machining process, it is important to develop a grinding system with better performance parameters.
As CNC technology advances, grinding systems are increasingly used in many industrial production processes, including machining centers and cutter machines. This type of grinding system can provide the advantage of good precision control, repeatability, and short process cycle time, which are especially helpful in the production of large-scale tools.
Moreover, CNC grinding system can have a variety of advantages compared to traditional grinding systems. It can reduce manual human intervention and help to reduce the human error rate in high quality machining. An efficient grinding system can also reduce process time and cost, as well as enhance safety due to the automation of grinding processes.
This paper presents a brief introduction to CNC tool spiral cutter and CNC grinding system, and a comprehensive summary of their advantages and research progresses.
2 CNC Tool spiral cutter
CNC tool spiral cutters are special grinding tools that employ a grinding process to improve the strength and accuracy of cutting tools. They are usually formed using high-speed wire-electrical discharge machining (EDM) or laser cutting, or milling machines. CNC tool spiral cutters usually have a V-shaped profile composed of helical surface and general surface. The V-shaped cutting edge increases the strength and accuracy of the cutting tool which is extremely important in improving the machining efficiency.
The helical surface can be made with different angles according to the cutting edge slope and blade shape of the tool. With an appropriate slope and blade shape, a highly accurate and reliable cutting can be made. The use of the helical surface can also minimize the sticking and breakage of the tool to a large extent. The general surface profile, on the other hand, can be used to increase the stability and strength of the tool while reducing the cutting resistance.
In addition, the accurate cutting edge angle of the tool can be achieved by using CNC tool spiral cutter. This angle is extremely important in terms of both machining accuracy and efficiency. The CNC grinding operation can effectively remove the burrs of the cutting edge thus ensuring the high quality of the tool.
3 CNC Grinding System
The CNC grinding system is mainly composed of a workpiece clamping platform, a grinding head and a CNC system. The CNC grinding system is typically used to precisely grind the cutting edge of the tool according to the machining requirement. The grinding head is usually constructed with internal and external grinding heads, and a guide wheel in order to achieve grinding accuracy. The CNC system is used to optimize the process parameters such as the grinding speed and depth.
The process of grinding can be divided into rough grinding and fine grinding. The rough grinding is usually used to smooth out the roughness of the cutting edge and remove any burrs. The fine grinding is usually used to further finish and polish the cutting edge to achieve a smooth and fine finish.
To ensure the accuracy and precision of the grinding process, it is important to operate the grinding system under the right grinding parameters. This is usually achieved by installing a monitoring system on the CNC grinding system. The monitoring system is usually used to troubleshoot and to check whether the cutting tools are qualified.

The CNC tool spiral cutter improves the strength and accuracy of the tools and can be used to achieve a precise cutting edge angle. The CNC grinding system can be used to grinding the cutting edge efficiently and accurately. The monitoring system is also used to troubleshoot and check whether the cutting tools are qualified.
