High-speed, high-efficiency, compound, high-precision, high-reliability and environmental protection are the development trend of advanced cutting technology and also the requirements for CNC tools. The development of CNC tool manufacturing technology mainly focuses on the following aspects: tool material manufacturing technology, tool coating manufacturing technology, tool structure design manufacturing technology, tool system manufacturing technology connecting CNC tools and CNC machine tools, and related software technologies such as cutting databases.
(1) CNC tool materials "prescribe the right medicine" and attach importance to the development of super-hard and ultra-fine materials
Cutting tool material is the basis for determining tool cutting performance, especially tool cutting efficiency and reliability. "Prescribe the right medicine", according to the characteristics of the workpiece (material properties, machining allowance, batch size, requirements, etc.) to develop matching specific tool materials is a development trend today. Cobalt high-speed steel, powder metallurgy high-speed steel, cemented carbide (including ultra-fine particle cemented carbide), ceramics, cermets and other materials have been rapidly promoted and widely used in CNC tools. In particular, CNC cutting tools and cemented carbide grades for indexable and non-re-grinding blades have developed rapidly in recent years and account for a major share.
(2) Numerical control tool coating develops rapidly, and new coatings emerge endlessly
Tool coating is another key technology that determines tool cutting performance, especially tool cutting efficiency and reliability. It meets the requirements of economical development: cutting efficiency is significantly improved, tool performance is significantly improved, and service life is doubled, which saves resources , And reduced costs. In recent years, the development of tool coating technology has been unprecedentedly rapid, and new coating equipment and coating materials have emerged one after another.
(3) CNC cutting tools and tool systems meet the requirements of high-speed and compound cutting
The innovative and optimized design of the structure and geometric parameters of CNC tools and indexable CNC inserts, such as the development of new precision-shaped chip-breaking grooves, has effectively improved the cutting performance of the tools.
(4) CNC tool measuring instrument
In order to ensure the quality of CNC tools with high cutting performance, high precision, complex shapes and structures, CNC tool testing instruments have received attention.
(5) CNC tool closed-loop manufacturing system
Integrating measurement technology and equipment into the machining and manufacturing process of CNC tools has promoted the development of digital manufacturing technology for CNC tools.
The CNC tool cutting database is integrated into the CNC machine tool, which is also an important part of the development of CNC cutting technology. With the development of cutting technology, especially the development of high-speed, high-efficiency, and difficult-to-machine materials cutting technology, the database should be updated, supplemented and improved to meet the needs of development.
