External Circular Fine Machining Technology Parameters
Modern machining technology has seen tremendous improvement in the past decades. Experiments, developments and research have facilitated the improvement of the accuracy and speed of processes, while at the same time reducing their cost. External circular fine machining technology is a type of machining that utilizes modern machining technology to produce precision parts with high accuracy and repeatability.
External Circular Fine Machining technology is based on the principles of traditional grinding and milling, but utilizing modern technology to provide better repeatability and accuracy. The process utilizes CNC-controlled lathes to machine parts with a high level of accuracy. With the addition of coolant, the cutting speed can be optimized for each particular material. The process is ideal for producing parts with inside diameter, outside diameter, and various forms of contour machining.
For the machining process, the part is clamped onto a rotating spindle which is automatically controlled by the machine. The spindle is driven by a motor and is transferred to the working table at a determined velocity to rotate the part being machined. To cut the part, a cutting tool is lowered onto the spinning part and is guided by a digital presentation. The cutting tool is programmable, allowing for the operator to make precision cuts on various shapes and sizes of parts.
During the process, operators can utilize various parameters to customize the cutting experience. Cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and coolant flow can be modified to optimize the process. In addition, cutting tools can be changed out depending on the specific job requirements.
The technology used in external circular fine machining is most often seen in small-scale production because of the cost and complexity of the machines. The technology requires high-end equipment that can be custom-made for the specific application and is usually more expensive than the machines used in general machining.
The benefits of external circular fine machining are its high level of precision, repeatability, and its ability to produce custom parts with a high degree of accuracy. This capability makes it excellent for producing complex parts with a tight tolerance or creating parts with intricate features. Due to the high cost of the machinery, external circular fine machining is most often used in small-scale production and prototyping, where speed and accuracy are paramount.
External circular fine machining is well-suited for applications where tight tolerances, high repeatability and high levels of accuracy are needed. For these reasons, it is commonly used in the aerospace and medical device industries, as well as for automotive parts, optical components and other applications where accuracy and precision are paramount. The use of modern machines and advanced machining technology make external circular fine machining a viable solution for many machining projects.
