Characteristics and types of cutting tools for CNC milling machines

In CNC milling, the selection of cutting tools and cutting parameters does indeed end in a state of human-machine interaction. Programmers need to grasp the basic principles of tool selection and recognition of cutting parameters, fully consider the characteristics of CNC milling machine processing, and correctly select tools and cutting parameters. CNC machining technology has a wide range of applications. In terms of application, the characteristics and difficulties of its machining technology still lie in how to correctly choose high-speed and high-efficiency CNC machine tools, and develop CNC machining processes and programs that meet product technical requirements. CNC machining can greatly shorten the production cycle of products and effectively solve the processing of messy, fine, single piece, small batch, and variable shape parts in mechanical products.

Characteristics and types of cutting tools for CNC milling machines:

There are many types of cutting tools for CNC milling machines. In order to adapt to the characteristics of high-speed, high power, and high automation of CNC machine tools, the tools used are moving towards standardization, generalization, and modularization. They are mainly divided into two categories: milling tools and hole machining tools. In order to meet the requirements of high power and special milling, various specialized tools for special purposes have been developed.

The structure of CNC milling machine tool holders can be divided into modular and universal types. Modular tool system is an advanced tool system. Each item handle can be assembled through various series of modules. According to different machining parts and machine tools, different device schemes can be selected to obtain multiple series of tool holders, in order to improve the habit and utilization of tool holders.

The operation part of the entire tool holder for clamping the tool is integrated with the handle, used for positioning the device on the machine tool. This type of tool holder has poor modification habits for machine tools and parts. In order to adapt to the modification of parts and machine tools, users need to save various standardized tool holders, resulting in low utilization of tool holders.
