In CNC machining, the actual position of the tool is often different from the theoretical position of the tool when programming. This is why we need to modify the program according to the tool position again. However, modifying the program is complicated, and easy to make mistakes. Therefore, cutter compensation is a function to compensate for the difference between the actual position of the tool and the required position. What are the different methods to do the cutter compensation and what g-codes are used? ......

The method of machining threads with a thread mill is called thread milling, speaking of the cutting tools, what are the different types of thread mills? In this article, we’ll get into the introduction of thread mills. Types of Thread Mills 1. Straight flute thread mill Straight flute thread mills can be divided i......

The machine tool shank and pull stud are two essential components used in tool clamping, they are selected based on the taper of the machine tool spindle and other requirements. What the different types of shanks are there and what are they used for? In this article, we’ll introduce two main machine tool shank systems with various types and standards. Importance of Shank on CNC Machi......

Diamond tools are usually used in high-speed cutting and machining. What are different types of diamond cutting tools? Today we are going to look at three main materials of diamond tools. Types of Diamond Cutting Tools Diamond tools generally have high hardness, good thermal conductivity and wear resistance, etc., ......

Lathe is a kind of metal processing machinery, and chuck is one of the more important parts in the process of lathe processing. Chuck is a clamping tool, which can help us clamp the selected materials on the lathe, so that the lathe can rotate at a high speed without flying away. Usually, the operator or automatic loading and unloading robot places parts on the lathe chuck, and then uses the spindle and cutter for turning. The following will mainly introduce the method of removing and installing the lathe chuck.  ......

CNC machining center is a high-precision machining equipment integrating automation, compound machining and high-speed. Among them, horizontal machining center and vertical machining center are two types of machines that are widely used at present. The machining parts of the two machine tools are also quite different. Next, we will mainly introduce the machining range of the horizontal machining center. Machining centers can be divided into vertical machining centers with vertical spindles and horizontal machining centers with horizontal sp......

Machining is a manufacturing process that involves removing material from a workpiece through a cutting tool in order to convert it into the shape you want. Machine tools can efficiently and accurately repeat complex sequences to produce composite parts of different sizes and shapes. Most machine tool operators need to know about the types of machine tool tools. This article will briefly introduce the types of lathe tools and milling machine tools. There are many types of machining tools in the manufacturing industry, which are specially de......

Prototype production and CNC processing are very familiar to enterprises that need to research and develop products. One of the processes that must be followed in product research and development is to use the prototype for data testing after the prototype is made, and then open the mold for mass production after all the data of the product are correct. Prototype can help enterprises reduce R&D costs and mold opening risks, and quickly seize the market. But many customers will ask a question, which materials are used to create the proto......
