Types of milling methods

Simple milling operations are used to produce simple flat and horizontal surfaces parallel to the axis of spindle rotation. The depth of the cut on the workpiece can be controlled by turning the vertical white screw of the machine. Usually, people who work in the field of preparing metal or wooden parts for subsequent cutting, can use this capacity of CNC milling machine to perform simple milling.

This operation is as simple as the milling operation in terms of conditions and execution environment and degree of difficulty. with the difference that cutting in a flat milling machine is performed in one axis and on a vertical surface. To perform this operation, you can also use a regular CNC milling machine, and the cutting depth can be adjusted by turning the cross screw of the machine table. Some companies, such as car cylinder manufacturing companies that are active in the field of four-sided milling of parts, can take help from this capability.

In this type of milling, a flat vertical surface is cut on the side of the workpiece. In this operation, there is no need for a vertical axis to position the cutting tool in the direct direction of the cutting surface. In fact, in this method, it is possible to move the cutting tool from the top, and the spindle is able to rotate from above and provide the necessary speed for cutting. In this milling operation, the cutting depth can be adjusted by turning the vertical feed screw of the machine table.

This type of milling operation creates vertical and smooth surfaces on both sides of the workpiece by placing the cutting tool on both sides. The distance between these tools can be adjusted using an adjusting screw and the distance can be changed to the desired amount. Straddle milling operations are usually used to design a cube or hexagonal and hexagonal surfaces.

As you can guess from the name of this method, the purpose of this operation is to create angular and diagonal surfaces on the work piece. This operation is performed based on the movement of the machine's axis and spindle. In this operation, the angle groove created may have one or two angles, and according to the type of cut, the angle of the cutting tool may also change. A common example of angle milling can be seen in the production of V-shaped metal blocks. This V-shaped angle can be changed according to the need.

In multiple milling operations, it is possible to process and prepare multiple surfaces on a workpiece simultaneously. The number and diameter of cuts in multiple milling operations may be similar or different. This factor is influenced by the number of cutting tools used on the arbor. The advantage of using this method is to save machining time.

If the cutting patterns are not flat and clear (that is, they are irregular), you can use shaping milling operations. The shape created with these devices may be convex, concave or in any other way. The cutting speed in this type of operation is usually 20 to 30% lower than simple milling operation.

This operation is usually performed at the end of the cutting operation and for the final preparation of the work piece. The final milling operation may be performed vertically or horizontally or even at an angle, and usually at the end it is accompanied by the production of grooves or small cuts that are suitable for the placement of bolts and nuts. For this operation, using a vertical milling machine is the best possible choice.

This method is used to create narrow grooves or wide grooves on the workpiece using a cutting tool similar to a saw. This method can be used to separate a complete part of the work piece or create groove-like cuts in only some of its parts.

This operation can be used to create grooves and gaps with different shapes and sizes on the surface of the workpiece. In these devices, it is possible to use a simple cutting tool or even a saw-like cutting tool, and in some cases, their cuts are made in the form of lateral milling.

The cutting tool used in this machine is usually of cylindrical type, on which different gear patterns can be implemented according to the movement of the work piece. In this method, the space of the teeth created on the workpiece is completely consistent with the design of the cutting tool. For rib milling, it is necessary to pay attention to the equal size of the blades with their cutting place.

This operation is used to create harmonious and balanced lines on smooth surfaces. The most important application of this method is creating cylindrical or conical spiral grooves around the workpiece. In this operation, the table of the machine can be changed so that the created spiral is angled.

flooring Milling of the upper or lower surfaces of the parts is called floor milling, which can be applied in both types of horizontal and vertical milling machines on various industrial parts. Forehead shaving Milling of the side surfaces of the forehead parts is called milling. In the vertical milling machine, the face grinding operation is performed by finger milling blades (for surfaces with a small area) or face grinding blades (for surfaces with a large area). hug Side milling is an operation similar to front milling, which can often be performed on horizontal milling machines. A scaly blade is used to do it. Staircase Creating a height difference between the levels of the work piece is called stair carving. In the horizontal milling machine with the help of roller and disc blades and in the vertical milling machine with the help of finger blades, step carving can be done well. Grooving Grooves are shaped depressions that are usually used to guide and connect parts. These grooves can have different thicknesses and sections. (Square sections, half circle, T shape, etc.) Slope carving Horizontal and vertical milling machines provide operators with a variety of solutions for the implementation of pickling slopes. It is easy to mill the desired slope in the vertical milling machine with the Kalgi cycle. It is also possible to place the work piece at the desired angle by the fixture and perform tilting without turning.
