Efficient curved-surface turning
Simultaneously controlled X, Z and B axes of a multitasking
machine efficiently turns curved surfaces.
- Production floor issues
- Ridges remain after curved
surface machining -
- ・Tools must be changed to find the best tool to cut a curve.
- ・Changing a tool part way into a curve causes a ridge.
- Ridges remain after curved
- User benefits
- Ridges gone from curved
surface applications -
- ・Tool angles are always just right, so jobs without tool changes allow curved surface applications.
- ・When cutting a curve, machining can always be done at the best tool angle, to eliminate ridges and get uniform quality.
- Ridges gone from curved
Tilted B-axis cutting for curves improves efficiency
When turning a curved surface, tool changes become necessary to work the shape with a fixed (non-universal) B axis head. Here in B-axis turning, the B-axis angle can be controlled to the curve contour, so applications are possible with one tool.
