The Importance of CNC Machine Tools

The selection and use of CNC machine tools directly affect the machining quality. Suitable cutting tools can provide precise cutting geometry, smooth cutting surfaces, and high-precision dimensional control, thereby ensuring the accuracy and surface quality of the machined parts.

The cutting efficiency and lifespan of CNC machine tools determine the speed and continuity of machining. Efficient cutting tools can quickly reduce materials and maintain a longer lifespan, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing production time and costs.

Types of CNC machine tools

There are various types of CNC machine tools, and according to different machining tasks and requirements, the following common CNC machine tools can be selected:

milling cutter: Used for milling operations to remove materials from the surface of the work piece. Common milling cutters include flat milling cutters, end mills, ball end milling cutters, chamfer milling cutters, etc.

drilling bit: Used for drilling operations, cutting circular holes. Common types of drill bits include regular drill bits, center drill bits, spiral drill bits, deep hole drill bits, etc.

turning tool: Used for turning operations, to remove materials by rotating the work piece and moving the tool. Common types of turning tools include outer circular tools, inner circular tools, thread tools, etc.

cutting insert: Used for cutting operations to divide materials into desired shapes. Common cutting blades include face milling blades, groove cutting blades, thread cutting blades, etc.

gear cutting tools: Used for gear machining, including hobs, gear cutters, gear milling cutters, etc.

Turning and milling tool: Used for turning operations, such as thread turning tools, groove cutting tools, inner and outer circular turning tools, etc.

Slotting tool: Used for cutting grooves and groove operations, including T-shaped groove cutters, key way cutters, broaches, etc.

Wire cutting tools: Used for wire cutting processing, such as wire cutting pliers, wire cutting wires, etc.

In addition, there are many other special purpose cutting tools, such as chamfering tools, scrapers, grinding tools, etc. Select appropriate types and specifications of cutting tools based on specific machining tasks and requirements to achieve efficient and high-quality machining.

Selection of CNC machine tools

Choosing suitable CNC machine tools is the key to ensuring efficient and high-quality machining. The following are some factors to consider when selecting CNC machine tools:

(1) Processing tasks and materials: First, consider the types of materials that need to be processed, such as metal, plastic, wood, etc., as well as the properties of the processing tasks, such as milling, drilling, turning, etc. Different materials and processing tasks require different types of cutting tools.

(2) Cutting parameters: Determine the required cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth, based on the machining task and material characteristics. The selection of cutting tools should be able to adapt to the required range of cutting parameters.

(3) Cutting quality and surface roughness requirements: Consider the surface quality and roughness requirements of the machined parts. Some cutting tools have special tool geometries or coatings that can provide better surface quality.

(4) Tool materials and coatings: The selection of tool materials has a significant impact on the wear resistance, thermal stability, and lifespan of the tool. Common tool materials include hard alloy, high-speed steel, and ceramic materials. Coatings such as coated carbides and coated nitrides can improve the wear resistance and cutting performance of cutting tools.

(5) Tool type and geometric shape: Select the appropriate tool type based on the machining task and form, such as milling cutter, drill bit, blade, etc. At the same time, the geometric shape of the cutting tool should also be selected according to specific cutting needs, such as different cutting angles, number of cutting edges, etc.

(6) Tool clamping method: Consider the tool clamping system of the machine tool and choose a tool clamping method that is compatible with the machine tool, such as straight shank tools, cutting tool holders, tool holders, etc.

(7) Tool brand and quality: Choose reliable tool suppliers and well-known brands to ensure reliable tool quality and performance.

(8) Cost effectiveness: In addition to the cost of the tool itself, the lifespan, cutting efficiency, and maintenance cost of the tool should also be considered. Taking into account both performance and price, choose a tool with good cost-effectiveness.
