Airtight seal grooving
By finishing the groove bottom with a flat tool,
it is possible to obtain a machined surface where air does not leak easily.
This effectively improves the surface roughness of seal grooves.
- Production floor issues
- Good seal groove surface roughness
-
- ・End mills don’t seal-off goove curves.
- ・End mill cutter marks at the groove bottom reduce airtightness, and require hand finishing.
- User benefits
- Gooving with high sealability
-
- ・Getting high sealability without hand finishing.
- ・Complex seal groove curves also cut with flat tools.
Controlled cutting edge angle per axis feed direction
When grooving complicated curves with a tool bit, the cutting edge angle must be controlled with the curving feed direction.
The spindle phase is precisely synchronized with cutting edge motion, to perform highly accurate grooving.
