Determination of Reference Points for Size Measurement of Transferable Milling Cutter
Milling cutter is a common cutting tool used in machining related operations, including cutting, sawing, drilling, and planning. The size of the cutter is crucial for the quality and accuracy of the machined product. The size of the transferable milling cutter should be measured under the correct reference points and conditions. This article explains the process of determining the reference points for the size measurement of a transferable milling cutter.
The size measurement of the milling cutter should begin by performing a visual inspection. The visual inspection helps to identify the best place for the reference points. The distance, angles, and radii can then be calculated. The reference points should be selected according to the type of cut and the geometry of the cutter.
The number of reference points should be limited in order to make the size measurement process more efficient. The larger the size of the milling cutter, the more reference points are required for accurate measurement. Furthermore, it is also important that the reference points are positioned in a manner that minimizes the amount of adjustment required.
For the size measurement, the reference points need to be adjusted so that the reference measurements are accurate and repeatable. The adjustment of the reference points can be done manually or using automated equipment. Manual adjustment requires a magnifying glass so that the reference points can be seen clearly. Automated measuring machines are available for adjustment. These machines are specially designed for measuring milling cutters’ sizes.
Prior to applying reference measurements, it is important to check that the cutter is in the proper position in the measurement setup. This includes checking the orientation of the cutter relative to the reference points and that the alignment is correct.
The reference points should also be marked on the milling cutter in order to be easily visible during the measurement. Any residue on the surface of the cutter should be removed.
After the reference points have been determined, the measurement can take place by placing it in contact with the reference points. Then, the reference measurements are taken.
In order to measure the size of the transferable milling cutter accurately, the reference points must be determined with precision. These reference points should be selected based on the type of cut, orientation of the cutter and the geometry of the cutter. Moreover, the reference points should be adjusted for repeatable and accurate measurements. Lastly, the reference points should be marked on the cutting surface for better visibility during the measurement.
