No machine can be made without holes. To connect the parts together, a variety of different sizes of screw holes, pin holes or rivet holes are required; In order to fix the transmission parts, various mounting holes are needed; The machine parts themselves also have many kinds of holes (such as oil holes, process holes, weight reduction holes, etc.). The operation of machining holes so that the holes meet the requirements is called hole machining.
The surface of the inner hole is one of the important surfaces of the mechanical parts. In mechanical parts, parts with holes generally account for 50% to 80% of the total number of parts. The types of holes are also diverse, there are cylindrical holes, conical holes, threaded holes and shaped holes. Common cylindrical holes are divided into general holes and deep holes, and deep holes are difficult to process.
Advantages of U drill
1. First of all, the difference between U drill and ordinary drill is that U drill uses the peripheral blade and the center blade, at this Angle, the relationship between U drill and ordinary hard drill is actually similar to the relationship between the machine clamping turning tool and the welding turning tool, and the blade can be replaced directly after the tool is worn without regrinding. After all, the use of indexable blades still saves material than the whole hard drill, and the consistency of the blade makes it easier to control the size of the part.
2. The rigidity of U drill is better, you can use a high feed rate, and the processing diameter of U drill is much larger than that of ordinary drill, the maximum can reach D50~60mm, of course, U drill can not be too small due to the characteristics of the blade.
3.U drill encounter a variety of materials only need to replace the same type of different grades of blade, hard drill is not so convenient.
4. Compared with hard drilling, the precision of the hole drilled by U drilling is still higher, and the finish is better, especially when the cooling and lubrication are not smooth, it is more obvious, and U drilling can correct the position accuracy of the hole, and hard drilling can not be done, and U drilling can be used as a bore knife.
Advantages of U drill in CNC machining
1. U drill can punch holes on surfaces with inclination angles less than 30~ without reducing cutting parameters.
2. After the cutting parameters of U drilling are reduced by 30%, intermittent cutting can be achieved, such as processing intersecting holes, intersecting holes, and phase perforation.
3. U drilling can realize the drilling of multi-step holes, and can boring, chamfer, eccentric drilling.
4. When drilling, the drilling chips are mostly short chips, and the internal cooling system can be used for safe chip removal, without cleaning the chips on the tool, which is conducive to the continuity of the processing of the product, shorten the processing time and improve efficiency.
5. Under the condition of standard length-diameter ratio, no chip removal is required when drilling with U drill.
6. U drill for indexable tool, blade wear without sharpening, more convenient replacement, and low cost.
7. The surface roughness value of the hole processed by U drilling is small, and the tolerance range is small, which can replace the work of some boring tools.
8. The use of U drilling does not need to pre-punch the center hole, and the blind hole bottom surface processed is relatively straight, eliminating the flat-bottom drill.
9. The use of U drilling technology can not only reduce drilling tools, and because U drilling is the head of the cemented carbide blade, its cutting life is more than ten times the ordinary drill, at the same time, there are four cutting edges on the blade, blade wear can be replaced at any time cutting, the new cutting saves a lot of grinding and replacing the tool time, can improve the average efficiency 6-7 times.
U drill in the use of CNC machine tools skills
1. When using U drill, the rigidity of the machine tool and the neutrality of the tool and the workpiece are high, so U drill is suitable for use on high-power, high-rigidity and high-speed CNC machine tools.
2. When using U drilling, the center blade should be used with good toughness, and the peripheral blade should be used with relatively sharp blades.
3. When processing different materials, should choose different groove blade, under normal circumstances, small feed, small tolerance, U drilling length to diameter ratio, choose the groove blade with smaller cutting force, on the contrary, rough machining, large tolerance, U drilling length to diameter ratio is small, then choose the groove blade with larger cutting force.
4. When using U drilling, we must consider the power of the machine tool spindle, the stability of U drilling clamping, the pressure and flow of cutting fluid, and control the chip removal effect of U drilling, otherwise it will greatly affect the surface roughness and dimensional accuracy of the hole.
5. When installing the U drill, it is necessary to make the U drill center coincide with the center of the workpiece and be perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece.
6. When using U drilling, the appropriate cutting parameters should be selected according to different parts materials.
7. When drilling test cutting, be sure not to reduce the feed or speed at will because of caution and fear, so that the U drill blade is damaged or the U drill is damaged.
8. When using U-drill processing, when the blade is worn or damaged, it is necessary to carefully analyze the reasons and replace the blade with better toughness or more wear-resistant.
9. When using U drill to process step holes, it is necessary to start processing from large holes and then process small holes.
10. When drilling, pay attention to the cutting fluid to have enough pressure in order to flush out the chips.
11. The blade used on the center and edge of the U drill is different, must not be misused, otherwise it will damage the U drill rod.
12. When drilling with U-drill, workpiece rotation, tool rotation, and simultaneous rotation of the tool and workpiece can be used, but when the tool is moved in a linear feed mode, the most common method is to use the workpiece rotation mode.
13. The performance of the lathe should be considered when machining on the CNC car, and the cutting parameters should be adjusted appropriately, generally reducing the speed and low feed.
U drill in CNC machining often appear problems
1. The blade is damaged too fast, easy to break, and the processing cost increases.
2. A harsh whistle is emitted during processing, and the cutting state is abnormal.
3. Machine jitter, affecting the machining accuracy of machine tools.
U drill use points to note
1. The installation of U drill should pay attention to the positive and negative directions, which blade is up, which blade is down, which is facing inside and which is facing outside.
2. The center height of U drilling must be corrected, according to its diameter size to require the control range, generally controlled within 0.1mm, the smaller the diameter of U drilling, the higher the center height requirements, the center height is not good U drilling two sides will wear, the aperture will be larger, the blade service life will be shortened, small U drilling is easy to break.
3. U drill has very high requirements for coolant, it must be ensured that the coolant is emitted from the center of U drill, the greater the pressure of the coolant, the better, the excess water outlet of the tower can be blocked up to ensure its pressure.
4, U drilling cutting parameters in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, but also to consider different brands of blades, machine power, processing can refer to the load value of the machine tool size, make appropriate adjustments, generally using high speed, low feed.
5.U drill blade to check often, timely replacement, different blades can not be installed reverse.
6. According to the hardness of the workpiece and the length of the tool suspension to adjust the feed amount, the harder the workpiece, the larger the tool suspension, the smaller the cutting amount.
7. Do not use excessive wear of the blade, should be recorded in the production of blade wear and the relationship between the number of workpieces can be machined, timely replacement of new blades.
8. Use sufficient internal coolant with correct pressure. The main function of the coolant is chip removal and cooling.
9.U drill can not be used for processing softer materials, such as copper, soft aluminum, etc.

Thread machining is one of the very important applications of CNC machining center. The machining quality and efficiency of thread will directly affect the machining quality of parts and the production efficiency of machining center.With the improvement of the performance of CNC machining center and the improvement of cutting tools, the method of thread machining is also improving, and the accuracy and efficiency of thread machining are also gradually improving. In order to enable technicians to reasonably select thread processing methods in processing, improve production efficiency and avoid quality accidents, several thread processing methods commonly used in CNC machining center are summarized as follows:1. Tap processing method
1.1 classification and characteristics of tap processingUsing tap to process threaded hole is the most commonly used processing method. It is mainly applicable to threaded holes with small diameter (d30) and low requirements for hole position accuracy.
In the 1980s, the flexible tapping method was adopted for threaded holes, that is, the flexible tapping collet was used to clamp the tap. The tapping collet can be used for axial compensation to compensate the feed error caused by the non synchronization between the axial feed of the machine tool and the spindle speed, so as to ensure the correct pitch. The flexible tapping collet has complex structure, high cost, easy damage and low processing efficiency. In recent years, the performance of CNC machining center Gradually, the rigid tapping function has become the basic configuration of CNC machining center.
Therefore, rigid tapping has become the main method of thread machining.That is, the tap is clamped with a rigid spring collet, and the feed of the spindle is consistent with the spindle speed controlled by the machine tool.Compared with the flexible tapping chuck, the spring chuck has the advantages of simple structure, low price and wide application. In addition to holding the tap, it can also hold the end milling cutter, drill bit and other tools, which can reduce the tool cost. At the same time, the rigid tapping can be used for high-speed cutting, improve the use efficiency of the processing center and reduce the manufacturing cost.
1.2 determination of threaded bottom hole before tappingThe processing of threaded bottom hole has a great impact on the life of tap and the quality of thread processing. Generally, the diameter of threaded bottom hole drill is close to the upper limit of the diameter tolerance of threaded bottom hole,For example, the bottom hole diameter of M8 threaded hole is 6.7 0.27mm, select the drill bit diameter as 6.9mm. In this way, the machining allowance of tap can be reduced, the load of tap can be reduced, and the service life of tap can be improved.
1.3 selection of tapWhen selecting taps, first of all, the corresponding taps must be selected according to the processed materials. The tool company produces different types of taps according to different processing materials, and special attention should be paid to the selection.
Because the tap is very sensitive to the processed materials compared with the milling cutter and boring cutter. For example, using the tap for processing cast iron to process aluminum parts is easy to cause thread dropping, disorderly threading and even tap breaking, resulting in workpiece scrapping. Secondly, pay attention to the difference between the through-hole tap and the blind hole tap. The front-end guide of the through-hole tap is long, and the chip removal is the front-end chip. The front-end guide of the blind hole is short, and the chip removal is the front-end It is the back chip. Machining the blind hole with a through-hole tap cannot guarantee the thread machining depth. Moreover, if a flexible tapping collet is used, it should also be noted that the diameter of the tap handle and the width of the four sides should be the same as that of the tapping collet; the diameter of the tap handle for rigid tapping should be the same as that of the spring jacket. In short, only a reasonable selection of the tap can ensure the smooth machining.
1.4 NC programming of tap machiningThe programming of tap machining is relatively simple. Now the machining center generally solidifies the tapping subroutine and only needs to assign values to various parameters. However, it should be noted that the meaning of some parameters is different due to different NC systems and different subroutine formats.For example, the programming format of Siemens 840C control system is g84 x_y_r2_r3_r4_r5_r6_r7_r8_r9_r10_r13_. Only these 12 parameters need to be assigned during programming.
2. Thread milling method2.1 characteristics of thread millingThread milling adopts thread milling tool and three-axis linkage of machining center, that is, x-axis and y-axis arc interpolation and z-axis linear feed.
Thread milling is mainly used to process large hole threads and threaded holes of difficult to process materials. It mainly has the following characteristics:(1) high processing speed, high efficiency and high processing precision. The tool material is generally cemented carbide, with fast tool walking speed. The manufacturing precision of the tool is high, so the milling thread precision is high.(2) the milling tool has a wide range of application. As long as the pitch is the same, whether it is left-hand thread or right-hand thread, one tool can be used, which is conducive to reducing the tool cost.
(3) milling is easy to remove chips and cool, and the cutting condition is better than that of tap. It is especially suitable for thread processing of difficult to process materials such as aluminum, copper and stainless steel, especially for thread processing of large parts and components of precious materials, which can ensure the thread processing quality and workpiece safety.(4) because there is no tool front-end guide, it is suitable for machining blind holes with short thread bottom holes and holes without tool return grooves.2.2 classification of thread milling tools
Thread milling tools can be divided into two types, one is the machine clamp cemented carbide blade milling cutter, and the other is the integral cemented carbide milling cutter. The machine clamp cutter has a wide range of applications. It can process holes with thread depth less than the blade length or holes with thread depth greater than the blade length. The integral cemented carbide milling cutter is generally used to process holes with thread depth less than the tool length.2.3 NC programming of thread millingThe programming of thread milling tool is different from that of other tools. If the processing program is wrong, it is easy to cause tool damage or thread processing error. The following points should be paid attention to during programming:
(1) firstly, the threaded bottom hole shall be processed well, the small diameter hole shall be processed with a drill, and the larger hole shall be bored to ensure the accuracy of the threaded bottom hole.(2) when cutting in and cutting out the tool, the arc path shall be adopted, usually 1 / 2 turn, and 1 / 2 pitch shall be traveled in the z-axis direction to ensure the thread shape. The tool radius compensation value shall be brought in at this time.(3) the x-axis and y-axis circular arc shall be interpolated for one week, and the main shaft shall travel a pitch along the z-axis direction, otherwise the threads will be buckled disorderly.
(4) specific example program: the diameter of thread milling cutter is 16. The threaded hole is M48 1.5, the depth of threaded hole is 14.The processing procedure is as follows:(the procedure of threaded bottom hole is omitted, and the bottom hole shall be bored) G0 G90 g54 x0 y0g0 Z10 m3 s1400 m8g0 z-14.75 feed to the deepest thread G01 G41 x-16 Y0 F2000 move to the feed position, add radius compensation G03 x24 Y0 z-14 I20 J0 f500 cut in with 1 / 2 circle of arc G03 x24 Y0 Z0 I-24 J0 F400 cut the whole thread G03 x-16 Y0 z0.75 I-20 J0 f500 cut out with 1 / 2 circle of arc G01 G40 x0 Y0 return to the center and cancel radius compensation G0 Z100M30
3. Snap method3.1 characteristics of snap methodLarge threaded holes can sometimes be encountered on box parts. In the absence of tap and thread milling cutter, the method similar to lathe pick-up can be adopted.
Install the thread turning tool on the boring bar to bore the thread.The company once processed a batch of parts with m52x1.5 thread and 0.1mm positional degree (see Figure 1). Because of the high positional requirements and large thread hole, it is impossible to process with tap and there is no thread milling cutter. After the test, the thread picking method is adopted to ensure the processing requirements.3.2 precautions for buckle picking method
(1) after the spindle is started, there shall be a delay time to ensure that the spindle reaches the rated speed.(2) during tool retraction, if it is a hand ground thread tool, because the tool cannot be grinded symmetrically, reverse tool retraction cannot be adopted. The spindle orientation must be adopted, the tool moves radially, and then the tool retraction.(3) the manufacturing of the cutter bar must be accurate, especially the position of the cutter slot must be consistent. If it is inconsistent, multiple cutter bars cannot be used for processing, otherwise it will cause disorderly buckle.
(4) even if it is a very fine buckle, it cannot be picked with one knife, otherwise it will cause tooth loss and poor surface roughness. At least two knives shall be divided.(5) the processing efficiency is low, which is only applicable to single piece, small batch, special pitch thread and no corresponding tool.3.3 specific procedures

Why CNC machining stands out?
Previous machines which were known as numerical control machines (NC) located their positions via G-codes. These G-codes were manipulated manually by the user unlike in CNC machining whereby this task is computerized. In the most recent versions known as the parametric program, logical commands have been fixed in a manner that they can work together with these G-codes. This modified version allows users to regulate and manipulate system parameters effortlessly.
Benefits of using CNC machines:
The improvement in technology used in the manufacturing of these machines has brought about a number of benefits.
These include the following:
- There is improved speed, accuracy, productivity and efficiency of tasks - They significantly reduce the incidents of accidents since computerized systems minimize the contact between the tools and the user. This makes the metalworking process a more comfortable undertaking.
CNC Milling Machines:
CNC milling machines function by using a computerized system to transmit signals to a stepper motor controller. This system instructs the stepper motor on the direction to follow and the number of steps it is supposed to take. The motor is linked to the drive mechanism of the mill in the X, Y and Z axes. Some CNC milling machines are known to utilize a servo motor as a replacement for the stepper motor. They have below mentioned advantages:
- Metals can be cut at higher rates - Servo motors have a feedback loop which enables the machine to accurately resume to its initial position.
How to find the best CNC milling machines?
These machines have become essential in very many facets of life especially in the running of our businesses. The purchasing of this machines entail that you have to find the right kind of supplier or dealer. The following are tips to assist you in identifying the most ideal place where the machines can be obtained from:
- Check the quality of the milling machine. Visit online forums to get information on the available brands in the market and the most reliable brands according to customer reviews.
- Choose a supplier or dealer with professional staff and highly skilled personnel to repair your milling machine if it breaks down - If you are looking for a cost cutting option, some suppliers deal with second hand milling machines so, pursue such options.
Maintaining your CNC milling machine:
Once you have your milling machine purchased, some important tips can be followed to keep it in top condition. These machines are usually maintained by a set up process. This includes the below procedures:
- Wipe the table to the T-holder to keep it free it from fragments and rust.
- Place its vise down and tighten it with bolts. Straighten the vices using an indicator - Place every tool into collects and ensure they are safely locked.
- Set the collets into the changer of the tool as per to the manual of the machine.
- Confirm if the machine "knows" where it ought to stop. This is to guarantee that the machine makes an accurate cut. - Set the spindle on the zero point then ignite the machine again on the X and Y axes - Next, locate the Z point by lowering the spindle to the top of material. This point will be used as a reference in cutting other materials.
This simple setting up process guarantees that the CNC machining machine works efficiently for years on end. This process is to be repeated whenever the machine is heavily used.
