All Metal Processing is related to Milling Processing

Metal Design and Metal Processing

Almost all metal design and metal processing are inseparable from lathes. Even in modern precision forging or 3D printing, some dimensions need to be repaired to meet the accuracy requirements of the workpiece.

The operating principle of traditional lathes is a bit like a machine for pulling pottery. Through the rapid rotation of circular metal workpieces, the use of human hands to carry out carving and cutting methods.

Machined part processing_Unisontek Manufacturer (13)

Metal Products

A large number of metal products are widely needed, and milling machine processing has become the key to production. Later, after the development of steam engines, the application of belts and gears, the evolution of full-gear high-speed lathes was completed.
Since traditional lathes are 100% operated by manpower, it is conceivable that the quality level of the workpiece will be closely related to the processing master. If the master drank and slept well yesterday, the rate of defective lathes the next day may have risen by ten percentage points.

Machined part processing_Unisontek Manufacturer (8)

Milling Machine Processing

The earliest milling machine processing was invented by Whitney in 1818. The first universal milling machine appeared in 1862.
After that, milling machine processing technologies such as gantry milling machine and semi-automatic milling machine were successively developed.
After the 1970s, the numerical control system of the microprocessor and the automatic tool change system have been widely used in milling machine processing, expanding the scope of milling machine processing and improving machining accuracy and efficiency.
Unison Tek cointinued to grow a scalable company in Taiwan, and our goal is to serve all the people who need oem machined metal parts.

The Principle and History of Milling Machine Processing

Milling is a machine tool primarily used for metal cutting, invented in 1818 by a number of American mechanical engineers, including Eli Whitney. The method of machining the workpiece surface with a milling cutter as a tool is called milling.

Milling machines are used to cut flat surfaces, or use specially shaped milling cutters to mill out forming surfaces, helical grooves or gear teeth.

Milling Machine Processing

The milling machine processing is the same as the CNC lathe. The milling machine processing is also processed by driving the milling machine through digital signals.
The milling machine processing uses the workpiece to move in the XY plane, the Z axis is the tool spindle rotation, and the milling work is performed from top to bottom.
The machine tool that moves the workpiece to the cutting is quite economical for small or mass production.

Machined part processing_Unisontek Manufacturer (3)

Milling Machine

The milling machine can fix the workpiece, and the rotary tool generally makes 3D or 2D workpieces, which can accurately mill the workpieces in various shapes such as planes, surfaces, grooves, and gears.
The advantage of milling is its circular milling cutter, which has a high metal removal rate and is also an economical method, which can cut in a very short time.
Due to the different shapes of milling cutters and different mechanical application methods, milling machines can do a variety of milling jobs.

Using Milling Machine Processing Equipment to Process

Using milling machine processing equipment to process various workpieces, the main processing methods of milling machine processing include turning, drilling, boring, milling, planing, honing, super-finishing and polishing.

The machining accuracy and surface roughness of milling machines can be processed in a wide range and high machining accuracy and very low surface roughness can be obtained. These are the advantages of machining.

Fastening Part

The fastening part of the cutter body tool processed by the milling machine, the face of the rake face facing the direction of cutting speed, the face opposite the main rear cutting surface, the face opposite the secondary rear face and the machined surface, the main cutting edge rake face and the main rear face.

Intersection Line

The intersection line, the intersection line between the rake face of the secondary cutting edge and the secondary rear, where the main cutting edge of the tool nose and the secondary cutting edge intersect, the dimensional accuracy refers to the actual value and ideal of the diameter, length, distance between surfaces of the part… etc. closeness of the value.

Machined part processing_Unisontek Manufacturer (5)

With the development of science and technology, milling machine processing is also developing in the direction of high precision, high efficiency, automatic generation, flexibility and intelligence.
In the process of developing towards metal processing plants, we still need to know the knowledge of mechanical processing and experience to make it perfectly.
To understand carefully, so as to better meet the challenge. Process system vibration The process system vibration causes the tool to produce periodic displacements on the workpiece, forming ripples-like traces on the machined surface.
So that the vibration should be avoided as much as possible in the rough cutting process of the surface.
