Difficulties in CNC machining of large impeller blades

Difficulties in milling large blades of impellers

In the CNC machining of the impeller blades, the machining of large impeller blades is the most difficult. Mastering the measures to solve the processing difficulties of large blades has a very positive effect not only on the large blade itself, but also on the impeller moving blades, impeller stationary blades, guide impeller blades and impeller end blades.

Prevent tool interference in 5-axis milling

Tool interference prevention for 5 axis milling

With the increase in the design of multi-faceted and complex curved parts, 5-axis machining will account for an increasing proportion of CNC machining. Because 5-axis CNC machining adds two degrees of freedom of rotation, it increases the difficulty of CNC machining motion simulation calculation and tool interference checking, especially when machining parts with extremely complex shapes.

CNC machining large aluminum cavity parts

Machining of large and thin-walled aluminum parts

For CNC machining of aluminum parts with a large margin (large, thin-walled, aluminum cavity parts), in order to have better heat dissipation conditions during the machining process and avoid heat concentration, symmetric machining should be used during machining. If there is a 90mm thick aluminum sheet that needs to be machined to 60mm, if one side is milled, the other side should be milled immediately, and the flatness can only reach 5mm after processing to the final size at a time;

How to solve the deformation of thin parts in CNC machining?

Turning and milling thin parts (aluminum, aluminum alloy, pure titanium, copper, magnesium alloy) are always prone to deformation during machining. Oval or “waist shape” with a small middle and large ends, which makes it difficult to ensure the quality of parts. Its clamping design is often the most discussed point. Let’s take a look at two design examples of thin-walled fixtures on turning and milling parts, and how they solve the deformation problem.

CNC high-speed milling of titanium alloy parts

High-speed CNC machining of titanium alloy parts

In milling, an important characteristic of titanium alloys is extremely poor thermal conductivity. Due to the high strength and low thermal conductivity of titanium alloy materials, extremely high cutting heat (up to 1200°C if not controlled) is generated during processing. The heat is not discharged with the chips or absorbed by the workpiece, but is concentrated on the CNC cutting edge. Such high heat will greatly shorten tool life.

Set tool parameters for CNC machining titanium

Set the geometric parameters of turning and milling titanium tools to improve the product quality of titanium alloy parts. Products are delivered quickly and on time.
(1) The rake angle of the tool γ0: The contact length between titanium alloy chips and the rake face is short. When the rake angle is small, the contact area of the chip can be increased, so that the cutting heat and cutting force are not excessively concentrated near the cutting edge. Improve the heat dissipation conditions, and can strengthen the cutting edge and reduce the possibility of chipping. Turning titanium generally takes γ0=5°~15°.
