Today, we have carefully prepared a full range of CNC tool information, it can help you know how to use it.

Overview of NC tools

1. Definition of NC tool:

CNC tool is a general term for various kinds of tools used in combination with CNC machine tools (CNC lathe, CNC milling machine, CNC drilling machine, CNC boring and milling machine, machining center, automatic line and flexible manufacturing system).

 

2. The characteristics of CNC machine tools are as follows:

(1) It has good stable cutting performance, good rigidity and high precision, and can be used for high-speed cutting and strong cutting.

 

(2) The tool has a high life, and a large number of tools are made of cemented carbide or high-performance materials (such as ceramic blade, cubic boron nitride blade, diamond composite blade and coated blade, etc.), while high-speed steel tool is mainly made of high-performance high-speed steel with high cobalt, high vanadium and aluminum and powder metallurgy high-speed steel.

 

(3) The tool (blade) has good interchangeability and can quickly change tool. The tool can realize automatic and rapid replacement and shorten the auxiliary time.

 

(4) The tool has high precision, which is suitable for machining high precision workpiece, especially when using indexable blade

 

With the tool body and blade repeated positioning accuracy is high, so can obtain good machining quality.

 

(5) The cutter has reliable chip curling and chip breaking performance. The use of CNC machine tools can not stop processing chips at will. The long chips in processing will affect the safety and efficiency of operators. (concern: industrial production WeChat official account for more practical information)

 

(6) The tool has the function of adjusting size. The tool can be pre adjusted outside the machine or compensated in the machine to reduce the adjustment time of tool change.

 

(7) The tools can realize serialization, standardization and modularization. The serialization, standardization and modularization of tools are conducive to programming, tool management and cost reduction.

(8) Multi functional compound and specialization.

 

2. CNC tool line brand

① Sandvik:

Sandvik clonman is the largest metal cutting tool company under Sandvik Group, and also the world's No. 1 tool manufacturer and supplier in the metal cutting industry.

④ Kennametal:

Kenner Tool Co., Ltd., one of the top ten brands of CNC cutting tools, was founded in the United States in 1938. It is a global leading tool solution supplier, an international leading enterprise in mining and road construction tool industry, a leading enterprise in North American metal cutting industry market share, and a world-famous cemented carbide tool manufacturing company.

 

⑤ Iscar:

Iska cutting tools Co., Ltd. is one of the top ten brands of CNC cutting tools, one of the largest metal cutting tool manufacturers in the world, a leading enterprise in the field of metal processing and machinery manufacturing in the world, and one of the largest foreign-invested tool manufacturers with the highest technical level in China.

 

The ranking of cutting tools in different regions is also a reflection of price and quality. First, European and American cutting tools (the above several kinds) are the second: Japanese cutting tools and Korean cutting tools, such as Mitsubishi composite materials, Sumitomo Electric, Toshiba tecolo, Kyocera, Daijie, Hitachi, teguk, etc. Third, Taiwan knives such as zhengheyuan and zhouche knives. Fourth, domestic tools such as Zhuzhou Diamond, Dongguan niskat, Chengdu Sentai Yingge, Chengdu Qianmu, Shanggong, hecong, etc.

3. Classification and characteristics of NC tools

According to the tool structure, it can be divided into:

(1) Integral type: the cutting tool is integrated, which is made of a blank without separation;

(2) Welding type: adopt welding method to connect, cutter bar;

(3) Machine clip type: machine clip type can be divided into two types: non indexable and indexable; NC tools are usually machine clamped! (4) Special types: such as composite cutting tools, damping tools;

 

According to the materials used, the tools can be divided into:

(1) High speed steel tool;

(2) Cemented carbide tool;

(3) Ceramic cutting tools;

(4) Ultra high pressure sintering tool;

 

According to the tool processing mode, it can be divided into:

(1) Turning tools: including outer circle, inner circle, thread, groove, cutting tool, etc.

(2) Drilling tools, including drill bit, tap, reamer, etc.

(3) Boring cutter;

(4) Milling cutter, including face milling cutter, end milling cutter, three side edge milling cutter, etc.
