Clear corners:
- The corner clearing here is the two-dimensional dead corner, which is the part that has not been reached in the previous process. If the light knife needs to go to the place, it should clear the corner first and then the light knife. If the angle is too small and deep, it can be divided into several knives. Don’t use a small knife to clear too many places.
- Clear three-dimensional corner: open some small slots, some three-dimensional corner.
- Easy to break the knife, we must consider such as thin knife, too long, processing capacity is too large (mainly Z direction, depth direction).
- Tool path: only small angle (r0.8) and two-dimensional plane angle can be cleared by using two-dimensional shape; parallel tool path can be used; contour contour can be used; there is a kind of surface that can not be reached by the tool and dead angle that can not be reached by the shape, it is necessary to seal the tool first and clear the angle finally, and small gap in large surface is usually sealed first.
Medium light:
- Zhongguang: as a curved surface of steel and fine Gongcai Zhongguang.
- Principle: when the big knife is rough, there is more margin between layers, which is a process to get better effect when the light knife is used. Thank you for your attention to CNC automation wechat: cncaut.
- Features: fast cleaning, big knife flying, large feed and large spacing; no need to worry about the surface quality; flat workpieces do not need to be polished; workpieces with equal height profile do not need to be polished; when the contour is rough, the two processes can be put together in a smaller way, and the smaller one refers to the surface allowance and the distance between layers; The more hard the material is, the more medium light will be considered. The processing direction of medium light is better than that of light knife. In this way, the processing effect will be good and uniform.
Light knife:
Light knife is to meet the assembly requirements of various products and molds, so we should be very careful, according to different requirements to give different tool path settings and parameter settings.
- The cutting height and the final height of the light knife are changed to 0, and the tolerance is designed within 1 thread, without filtering (the smaller the workpiece, the smaller the tolerance, and the tolerance will affect the appearance).
- The front mold and parting surface should achieve the best finish, the back mold can be used twice, and other non matching and avoiding positions can be rough.
- Tool path design is determined by the following factors:
Specific shape (such as plane and other surfaces), steep surface and flat surface.
Whether there is a sharp angle between the two sides (the sharp angle is separated).
Whether the requirements of the two parts are different (whether to leave allowance, the amount of allowance and the requirements of finish are different).
The problem of protecting surface in the light knife is a big problem. The machined surface must be protected according to the requirements of protecting surface. Range protection, zero protection regardless of error, height range and plane range; protection surface protection.
For the extension of the tool path, when the tool path is machined to the edge, it is better to make circular arc advance and retreat, otherwise the face will be slightly extended in advance.
The problem of lifting the knife in the light knife. It’s a waste of time to lift the knife, so try to avoid it.
Method 1: set the clearance (small gap) of knife lifting
Method 2: cover, seal the knife (small gap)
Method 3: avoid gap (large gap)
Method 4: extend to the same height in contour
For the problem of feed in the light knife, the first feed must be from the outside of the workpiece to avoid vibration and damage to the workpiece. All light knives must be equipped with feed.
Tool wear: when the workpiece is large, more tools are needed to finish the same workpiece.
The above is for you to share the content, I hope to help you.
