How to choose CNC machining center tools?

1. How to choose CNC machining center tools

The tool is an indispensable part of a CNC machining center, and a CNC machining center without a tool cannot do any work. The selection of the tool also requires the customer to consider it. The tool is a component that directly contacts the workpiece, and the processing of the workpiece is directly related, so the choice of the tool is very important. Customers need to determine the processing technology of the workpiece before they can correctly choose the right tool.

2. Types of CNC machining center tools

There are many types of knives. The diversity of CNC machining centers determines the diversity of tools. In addition to the most basic milling cutters, the most commonly used tools in CNC machining centers are hole machining tools, including twists of various sizes and apertures. Drills, reamers, countersink drills, reamers, boring, taps and thread milling cutters, etc. Each tool has its own different functions, and the customer should choose the tool according to the processing technology.

3. The size selection of CNC machining center tools

In addition to the choice of tool type, it is also necessary to determine the size of the tool. The size mainly depends on the diameter and length of the tool. The size of the hole processing tool is generally determined directly by the hole to be processed, especially for the fixed size tool such as drill reamer, the diameter of which depends entirely on the diameter of the hole to be processed. The selection of the diameter of the face milling cutter and the end milling cutter needs to refer to some related content about the milling process. As for the length of the tool, there are not too many specific requirements. The general selection principle is to reduce the length of the tool as much as possible when meeting the needs of all processing parts.

4. Material requirements of CNC machining center tools

CNC machining centers are basically metal processing, especially large-scale vertical CNC machining centers, which are often used for heavy cutting of ferrous metals. When buying a CNC machining center and need to process some workpieces with relatively large hardness, if the hardness and rigidity of the tool are insufficient, it is easy to cause damage to the tool and scrap the workpiece. When choosing tools, try to choose high-performance tools to give full play to the efficiency of CNC machining centers, reduce costs and improve machining accuracy. The tool must have the ability to withstand high-speed cutting and powerful cutting. The material of the tool is generally selected from cemented carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond tools.
