Because the rigidity of the slender Shaft is relatively poor, the accuracy and quality of the processing are not easy to control, and some problems will inevitably be encountered during processing. Some problems are easy to deal with, and some problems are more complicated. According to the problems that manufacturers often encounter when processing slender shafts, our experienced technicians will introduce some points for attention during processing.
Turning tool for turning a slender shaft
Generally speaking, in order to make cutting more convenient and faster, the rake angle and entering angle of the turning tool for turning slender shafts will be set larger, and the radial vibration needs to be reduced. Because there is a chip breaker in front of the turning tool that needs to be used during rough machining, which is convenient for chip collection. Knives for fine turning need to have a certain negative edge inclination.
Adopt reverse feed
When turning, the turning tool needs to continuously feed in the direction of the tailstock, and the feed force applied by the tool on the workpiece needs to be towards the tailstock. In order to reduce the deformation and bending during the machining process, a cara tool can be added.
Use a knife holder
The follower tool holder is an important tool for machining slender shafts. Using the follower tool holder can offset a certain radial cutting force during the machining process and reduce the deformation of the workpiece due to less vibration during the process. However, when adjusting, be sure to keep it consistent with the center position of the machine tool.
Improve the clamping method of the workpiece
During rough machining, the cutting allowance is large, and the cutting force on the slender shaft is relatively large. Therefore, elasticity can be used in the tailstock to allow it to expand and contract freely. In order to improve the precision of the slender shaft, the double method can be used for finishing machining.
When manufacturers are processing slender shafts, the above points need to be paid attention to. Through continuous accumulation of experience during processing, the processing quality of the product can be better.
