Copper electrode of EDM machine

CNC machining of copper electrode

During EDM machining, the copper electrode and the workpiece are respectively connected to the two poles of the pulse power supply. The pulse voltage applied to the copper electrode and the workpiece generates spark discharge. The instantaneous temperature of the discharge can be as high as 10,000 degrees Celsius, and the high temperature makes the surface of the workpiece partially vaporized or melted.

CNC machining impeller technology and clamping plan

According to the material, structural characteristics and technical requirements of the impeller, the CNC machining plan is analyzed and studied, including the machining process, technical difficulties and technical measures taken. It is recommended to add required process fixture bosses at one end of the impeller, and design and develop a special fixture mold to meet the requirements of impeller processing.

Machining the normal hole on the inclined plane with a five-axis machining center

High-speed 5-axis machining for manufacturing molds

Nowadays, automobile molds have higher and higher requirements for mold surface quality and cutting speed. The best milling state can be achieved when the five-axis CNC system is used to process a plane with three-dimensional curves. The setting angle of the tool axis can be changed at any position in the machining area of the machine tool to process different geometric shapes.

5-axis CNC machining complex free-form surfaces

Difficulties of 5-axis CNC machining

5-axis CNC machining method and machine tool. As early as the 1960s, the foreign aviation industry had begun to use it in order to process some large workpieces with continuous smooth and complex free-form surfaces, but it has not been widely used in more industries. Only in the past 10 years has there been rapid development. The main reason is that there are many difficulties in five-axis machining, such as:

5-axis machining of complex profiles

5-axis machining of complex profiles

Complex contours appear in tool and mold manufacturing, and are mass-produced products. Before the emergence of CNC machine tools, forging dies and dies used in the automotive industry were mainly manufactured by hand. After the 1970s, CNC machine tools have been widely used in tool and mold manufacturing. The basic contours of complex profiles are usually processed by milling, and the surrounding CNC machine tools are initially set to three-axis linkage.

5-axis machining of base parts

5-axis machining for inclined surfaces

The high-performance 5-axis CNC milling machining center, the CNC system has the space coordinate system rotation and the inclined tool compensation function, which provides the possibility for the machining of some parts that require inclined surface machining and high machining accuracy. When machining on an inclined plane, it is difficult to compile a machining program because the coordinate system changes in space.
