Method of reducing error in computer gong processing

After the workpiece is placed on the pad iron, it is necessary to pull the table for the workpiece datum according to the drawing requirements. For the workpiece that has been ground on six sides, it is necessary to check whether its verticality is qualified.

The nut must be tightened after the work-piece is pulled to prevent the work-piece from shifting during the processing due to the loose clamping; pull the work-piece again to ensure that the error does not exceed the tolerance after the clamping.

Number of workpieces touched

For the clamped workpiece, the contact head can be used to set the processing reference zero position. The contact head can be used in photoelectric type and mechanical type. There are two kinds of methods: middle collision number and unilateral collision number

Photoelectric static, mechanical speed 450 ~ 600rpm. Manually move the x-axis of the worktable according to the collision number to make the collision number head touch one side of the workpiece. When the collision number head just touches the workpiece and the red light is on, set the relative coordinate value of this point to zero. Then manually move the x-axis of the worktable to make the collision number head touch the other side of the workpiece. When the collision number head just touches the workpiece, record the relative coordinate at this time.

According to the relative value minus the diameter of the collision head (i.e. the length of the workpiece), check whether the length of the workpiece meets the requirements of the drawing.

High speed and high precision

In order to improve the machining speed and precision of computer gong, we must pay attention to the influence of cutter tooth vibration on the surface roughness and tool life. In order to prevent the decline of machining accuracy and tool life, the selected machining center must be equipped with spindle with excellent dynamic balance performance, and the selected boring tool must also have high dynamic balance characteristics. Especially for the cutter teeth of boring tools, the geometry, tool material and clamping method suitable for high speed cutting should be selected. The R at the end of cutting edge should be larger in order to improve the processing efficiency; on the premise of ensuring the same surface roughness, the feed rate should be increased. But increasing the feed rate should be enough, otherwise it will increase the cutting resistance, which is not conducive to improving the processing efficiency. The cutting edge belt should be set with negative chamfering less than 0.1 mm, which can effectively maintain the stability of tool life. In addition to CNC cutting, boring and reaming can also be used for high precision machining. With the high speed of machining center spindle, boring tools can be used for high-speed precision machining of holes. It is reported that the cutting speed can be increased to more than 1500m / min when boring about 40mm on aluminum alloy. When CBN sintered body is used as cutting edge to process steel, cast iron and high hardness steel, such cutting speed can also be used.

As for the tool material, it depends on the nature of the material to be processed. For example, when machining steel below 40HRC, cermet tools can be selected. This kind of tool can obtain good surface roughness and long tool life under the condition of V = 300m / min or above. Coated cemented carbide tools are suitable for high speed cutting of steel below 60HRC. The tool life is very stable, but the cutting speed is slightly lower than cermet tools.

Sintered body tool is suitable for machining high hardness steel, cast iron and other materials, cutting speed can reach more than 1000m / min, and tool life is very stable. The edge belt of CBN cutter teeth should be chamfered properly, which is very beneficial to high speed cutting and tool life extension. In the ultra-high speed cutting of aluminum alloy and other non-ferrous and non-metallic materials, diamond sintered body tool can be selected. This kind of tool has the advantages of stable cutting and long tool life. It should be noted that when diamond tools are used, the cutting edge must be chamfered, which is an important condition to ensure the cutting stability.

Feed path of finishing

The feed route of finishing machining is basically carried out along the contour of the parts. Therefore, the key point of determining the feed route is to determine the feed route of rough machining and empty stroke. In the CNC lathe processing, the determination of the processing route should generally follow the following principles.

① It should be able to ensure the accuracy and surface roughness of the workpiece to be processed.

② The processing route is shortest, the idle travel time is reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.

③ The workload of numerical calculation should be simplified as much as possible.

④ For some repeated programs, subroutines should be used.

Advantages and disadvantages of CNC CNC CNC machining has the following advantages:

① The number of tooling is greatly reduced, and complex tooling is not needed to process complex parts. If we want to change the shape and size of the parts, we only need to modify the processing program of the parts, which is suitable for the development and modification of new products.

② The machining quality is stable, the machining accuracy is high, and the repetition accuracy is high, which can meet the machining requirements of aircraft.

③ In the case of multi variety and small batch production, the production efficiency is high, which can reduce the time of production preparation, machine adjustment and process inspection, and reduce the cutting time due to the use of the best cutting quantity.

④ It can process complex surface which is difficult to be processed by conventional methods, and even process some parts which cannot be observed.

The disadvantage of NC machining is the high cost of machine tools and equipment, which requires high level of maintenance personnel.

The cutting problem of computer gong processing

1、 Exit angle (draft angle)

All plastic molds should have a mold angle, otherwise they will be scratched. If it is not indicated in the drawing, you can discuss with the mold maker. The mold angle is generally 0.5 ~ 3 degrees. If the mold is etched, the mold angle should be larger, 2 ~ 5 degrees, depending on the thickness of the etched pattern.

2、 Cutting problem

Most of the time, when the cutter is just milled, the amount of cutting is relatively large, which is easy to cause the cutter to break and bounce. At this time, you can first roughen the lower cutter position, or lift the cutter away, or lower the cutter outside the material in the daytime. In a word, this problem should be fully considered. Grab the knife, spring the knife, drop the knife, when the processing capacity is relatively large, the knife clip is too long, the knife is too small, this often happens. When the processing capacity is relatively large, especially when the concentration feed is large, it is easy to occur. For example, when the depth of the smooth side is 50 mm and the diameter is 3 / 4, we can process it in 25 mm twice, so it is not easy to occur. Tool clamping is too long, the length of the tool is very important for processing, should try to clamp short, beginners are easy to ignore this problem, the program paper must indicate the length of the tool clamping. It’s easy to grab the knife when turning the corner. The solution is to use a smaller knife to clear the corner layer by layer, and then change the larger knife to smooth the side.

3、 Sharpen a knife

The shapes of computer gongs are different, so we often need to grind all kinds of knives. When all kinds of molding knives are worn out, we also need to grind them. Only when we reach the following points can we grind a usable knife.

The four corners of the tool should be the same height.
A is higher than D.
The forward (tool face) of the tool is higher than the back, that is, it has a certain back angle.

4、 Milling direction

The reason is that the rigidity of the computer gong is relatively good, it is not easy to let the cutter, the back clearance is small, and the milling shape or inner groove is left compensation. When machining left and right symmetrical shapes, the profile tool path cannot be mirrored, otherwise the processing effect of the mirrored side is not good. In order to communicate with the operator of the machine tool, the program paper should include:

Program name
Tool size and length
Method of machining tool path
Machining allowance
Rough or light knife
Drawing file name

Computer gong processing and clamping

Roughening: under the maximum load of the machine tool, in most cases of processing, select the largest possible tool, the largest possible feed amount and the fastest possible feed. In the case of the same tool, the feed is inversely proportional to the feed amount. In general, the load of the machine tool is not a problem. The principle of tool selection mainly depends on whether the two-dimensional angle and three-dimensional arc of the product are too small The principle is that the length of the tool is greater than the depth of processing. For large workpieces, it is necessary to consider whether the collet can be lowered. Otherwise, it is necessary to go as follows. 0 I4 Q6 x1 f5 l N& u

The purpose of light knife: to meet the workpiece processing requirements: finish, flying die allowance, copper male spark position, etc., at the same time, as large as possible, as fast as possible, because the precision knife takes a long time, with the most appropriate feed and feed, in the same feed, the larger the transverse feed, the faster. The surface feed is related to the finish after processing, and the feed size is related to the surface shape In the case of no damage to the surface, the minimum allowance should be left, the maximum knife should be used, the fastest Belt should be rotated, and the proper feeding should be carried out.

Clamping method:

All clamps are long horizontally and short vertically;
Vise clamping: the clamping height should not be less than 10 mm. When processing the workpiece, the clamping height and processing height must be specified. The processing height should be about 5 mm higher than the vise plane, so as to ensure the firmness and not damage the vise. This kind of clamping belongs to general clamping, and the clamping height is also related to the size of the workpiece. The larger the workpiece is, the higher the clamping height will be;
Splint clamping: the splint is fixed on the worktable with the code, and the workpiece is locked on the splint with the screw. This kind of clamping is suitable for the workpiece with insufficient clamping height and large processing force, generally medium and large workpieces, and the effect is very good. 1 ` Q( F9 k, n
When the workpiece is large, the clamping height is not enough, and it is not allowed to lock the thread at the bottom, it should be clamped with code iron. This kind of clamping needs secondary clamping. The procedure is as follows: A. code the four corners first, process other parts, then code the four sides, and process the four corners. The principle is that during the secondary clamping, be very careful not to let the workpiece loose, code first and then loosen. B. code both sides first, process the other two sides, 8 L # y% @# \: e’ N% P

Code iron has an advantage, large contact area, not easy to deformation, such as aluminum, magnesium within the soft metal must use code iron to prevent deformation;

Tool clamping: diameter more than 10 mm, not less than 30 mm; diameter less than 10 mm, not less than 20 mm,

Note: the impact of the tool on the workpiece can cause: a. the workpiece moves; B. the tool is broken; C. the tool is deformed and the workpiece is damaged; D. the tool is loose, the tool is dropped or the workpiece is not processed correctly

Therefore, the clamping of tool and workpiece should be firm. Strictly prevent Tool Collision and direct insertion of workpiece, & H #: X # {3 W

Computer gong processing vertical processing

The height of the vertical machining center is limited, which reduces the processing range of the workpiece, which is the disadvantage of the vertical machining center. However, the workpiece clamping and positioning is convenient for vertical machining center; the cutting path is easy to observe and debug, the program inspection and measurement is convenient, the problems can be found in time, and the treatment or modification can be stopped; the cooling conditions are easy to establish, and the cutting fluid can directly reach the surface of the cutting tool and processing; the three-axis and Cartesian coordinate system, intuitive feeling, in line with the design point of view, the chip is easy to exclude and modify, Surface treatment to avoid scratches. Compared with the corresponding horizontal machining center, it has the advantages of simple structure, small floor area and low price.

Mainly used for:

Using grease and oil circulation in machining center will produce abnormal heating.
Spindle, need high-definition washing, high-speed bearing sealing place

working principle:

The use of compressed air flow pipe, transmission oil along the pipe caused by continuous flow, stirring and transportation of oil and gas processing center spindle part and other parts of the screw need lubrication. The constant pressure dry compressed air (bar) 5 – 8 continuous supply, according to the spindle and lubricating oil lubrication, screw oil and other parts of the fuel consumption different quantitative supply. Therefore, each lubrication circuit must use a separate micro pump power supply of oil. After the oil pump, it must enter the oil and natural gas mixing valve. In the oil and natural gas mixing valve, the compressed air flow blows into small oil drops and adheres to the wall to form an oil film. The flow direction of the air flow between the oil film and the pipe wall, and the thickness of the medium oil film gradually becomes thinner, but not together.

Structure of computer gong machine

Casting, which is the most important part of the computer gong, directly affects the accuracy, stability, wear resistance of the computer gong and the service life of the machine tool. After the casting is finished, Dongguan computer gong processing is not immediately used in production. The good casting is that after wind and rain, sun exposure, natural weathering, some of them are soaked in sea water, and then processed until the casting does not change. The machine tool made in this way is not easy to change, and can maintain the stability and accuracy of the machine tool for a long time.
Spindle, the spindle is used to directly face the workpiece, it is driven by the motor to work, high-speed rotation, the spindle is equipped with a tool handle, it can chip the workpiece, meet various production needs, the quality of the spindle will directly affect the processing accuracy, if the internal bearing is worn, it is easy to cause the swing of the spindle, the accuracy of the processed things naturally has a few deviations . At present, the rotation speed of the main shaft is generally about 8000 rpm, and the high-speed machine can achieve more than 20000 rpm, and each machine has only one main shaft.
The screw rod is also a part of the fuselage. The machining of mechanical parts is driven by the servo motor. The displacement of the worktable is driven by the copper sleeve of the screw rod to meet the machining needs. If there is a gap in the screw rod, it is also directly reflected in the machining accuracy and finish.
There are two kinds of motors: servo motor and frequency conversion motor. The servo motor has good stability, high power of spindle drive motor and low coordination rate of three-axis drive motor.
The coupling is installed between the screw rod and the motor, which is just a linkage function.
The lubrication cooling system consists of an automatic oil pump, a spindle oil cooler and a chip liquid circulation system. The machine oil can be automatically fed and automatically pumped without manual operation

Elements of cutting conditions

For high efficiency metal cutting, the processed materials, cutting tools and cutting conditions are the three major elements. It determines the processing time, tool life and processing quality. The economic and effective machining method must be reasonable selection of cutting conditions.

The three elements of cutting conditions: cutting speed, feed and cutting depth directly cause tool damage. With the increase of cutting speed, the temperature of tool tip will rise, which will produce mechanical, chemical and thermal wear. If the cutting speed is increased by 20%, the tool life will be reduced by 1 / 2.

The relationship between the feed condition and the tool wear is very small. But when the feed rate is large, the cutting temperature rises, and the back wear is large. It has less influence on the tool than the cutting speed. Although the influence of cutting depth on the tool is not as big as cutting speed and feed rate, the hardened layer of the material to be cut will also affect the life of the tool.

Reasonable selection of cutting tools

① In rough turning, the cutting tools with high strength and good durability should be selected, so as to meet the requirements of large back feed and large feed.

② When finishing turning, the cutting tools with high precision and good durability should be selected to meet the requirements of machining accuracy.

③ In order to reduce the tool changing time and facilitate tool setting, the machine clamping tool and machine clamping blade should be used as far as possible.

Reasonable selection of fixture

① Try to use general fixture to clamp workpiece, avoid using special fixture;

② In order to reduce the positioning error, the positioning datum of parts coincides.

Determine the processing route, which refers to the movement path and direction of the cutter relative to the part in the process of NC machine tool processing.

① It should be able to meet the requirements of machining accuracy and surface roughness;

② The processing route should be shortened as far as possible to reduce the tool idle travel time.

Skills of tool changing in computer gong processing

When programming the computer gong, we should first consider the selection of tool setting point, and the determination of tool setting point and tool changing point. Tool setting point is the starting point of tool movement relative to the workpiece in NC machining. Since the program is also executed from this point, the tool setting point is also called the program starting point or tool starting point.

When the machining accuracy is not high, some surfaces on the workpiece or fixture can be directly used as the tool face; when the machining accuracy is high, the tool setting point should be selected on the design basis or process basis of the part as far as possible, for example, for the part with hole positioning, it is more appropriate to take the axis of the hole as the tool setting point. The tool setting point must have a certain coordinate relationship with the positioning datum of the workpiece. In this way, the relationship between the machine tool coordinate system and the workpiece coordinate system can be determined. The choice of tool setting point for computer gong processing should be convenient for coordinate value calculation and tool setting. During tool setting, the tool setting point should coincide with the tool position. The so-called tool position refers to the intersection of the tool axis and the tool bottom surface for flat end milling cutter; the ball end milling cutter refers to the ball center of the ball head part; the turning tool refers to the tool tip; the drill bit refers to the drill tip; the machining of mechanical parts refers to the focus of the wire electrode axis center and the part surface for wire electrode cutting machine.

Introduction of mould making process

Smelting quality for high-quality die steel, the processes of out of furnace refining, vacuum treatment, vacuum smelting, powder injection treatment and electroslag remelting are widely used at home and abroad to reduce the contents of harmful elements, oxygen, hydrogen and inclusions in the steel and fine tune the chemical composition and pouring temperature. By ESR, the macrostructure and density of the steel can be effectively improved, and the isotropy of the die steel can be improved. The tests in some domestic factories show that the transverse impact toughness of 4Cr5MoSiV1 steel produced by electric arc furnace is only 31% of the longitudinal impact toughness. After ESR, the transverse impact toughness of 4Cr5MoSiV1 steel is 70% of the longitudinal impact toughness, which is more than doubled. For the die steel with special requirements, the P / m high speed steel and P / m high alloy die steel can better improve the microstructure and properties of the steel.
On the basis of a certain forging ratio, upsetting drawing forging and cross rolling should be adopted as far as possible to improve the isotropy of die material. In order to reduce machining allowance and improve material utilization, precision forging machine, fast forging hydraulic press and high-precision continuous rolling mill are widely used to provide high-precision steel to meet the needs of mold manufacturing.
For heat treatment and finishing of forged and rolled products, controlled atmosphere or vacuum heat treatment should be adopted to avoid oxidation and decarburization. Some plastic die steel and hot work die steel should be pre hardened by Metallurgical Department. For some hot working die materials with high requirements, the Metallurgical Department should refine the structure in advance to eliminate the coarse carbides and chain carbides in the steel, and obtain fine and uniform carbides, so as to further improve the various properties of the steel, especially the isotropy. According to some foreign reports, some hot work die steels are produced with high quality and high directivity by electroslag remelting, multi-directional forging (rolling) and microstructural refinement. The transverse impact toughness can be equal to more than 90% of the longitudinal impact toughness. In addition, considering the metallurgical quality of various parts of steel, attention should be paid to make the main working face of the mold (such as cavity or edge) close to the surface of steel; because in general, the surface of steel is the clean part of steel, while the center of steel is the area where the macrodefects are concentrated; especially in the large section ledeburite steel, the center part is the center part The inhomogeneity of eutectic carbide in steel is 2-3 grades higher than that on the surface. In addition, the main load bearing direction of the die should be consistent with the deformation direction of the steel, so as to reduce the adverse effect of the anisotropy of the steel on the die.
Thermal conductivity thermal conductivity is also one of the main performance indicators of die steel, especially some hot work die steel and plastic die steel. Mold steel with good thermal conductivity can quickly transfer the heat generated in the processing and the heat from the workpiece, avoid overheating on the working surface of the mold, and improve the working conditions of the mold. For some thermoplastics forming dies and some die-casting dies, in order to speed up the pace of production, it is hoped that the pressed workpieces can be cooled and demoulded quickly to improve productivity. In order to solve this problem, sometimes some die materials with better thermal conductivity than steel are selected, such as high-strength copper alloy, high-strength aluminum alloy, etc.
