Turning is one of the methods of shaping metals by removing excess materials (shavings) for the production of industrial parts. Metals, which are mainly in the shape of a cylinder (other forms of metal can also be used) are rotated with a certain power and speed, and with the movement of the lathe blades on it, the chipping operation is performed with a certain depth and speed until a new part is made. to be The movement axis of the part can be a straight line or along a set of curves and angles. In most cases, the tools are stationary and the part is rotating on the lathe.
Difference between Traditional and Industrial Turning
In traditional turning, turning is done manually using a traditional turning machine, which requires the constant presence of a turner or operator. Because in this method, the turning operation is done manually, but in industrial turning, all steps are done fully automatically, which uses an automatic turning machine, the most common type of which is a CNC machine. Nowadays, the use of automatic turning methods has become very popular in industrial turning centers.
gender of turning tools
According to the operations that are performed in turning on the parts, turning tools must have special materials and characteristics. Among the features of this tool, the following can be mentioned:
Hardness: In order for the tool to penetrate the work, its material must have high hardness.
Resistance: from Another important feature is its resistance so that the cutting edge does not break during work.
Heat resistance: Since a lot of friction is created during turning, it must be heat resistant.
p>
Abrasion resistance: These tools must have high resistance to abrasion.
