Machining is the process of cutting, shaping, sanding, and other machining processes on materials such as metals, plastics, and wood, using mechanical equipment, in order to manufacture parts or products. Machining usually consists of the following basic processes:
1. milling: milling is a method of machining using a milling machine, which cuts the workpiece by rotating the tool, and can process complex shapes such as flat surfaces, curved surfaces, and concave and convex surfaces.
2. turning: turning is a method of machining using a lathe, by rotating the workpiece, the tool cuts on the workpiece, and can process the outer circle, inner circle, end face and so on.
3. drilling: drilling is the use of drilling machine or drilling machine for processing a method, by rotating the tool on the workpiece hole processing.
4. Grinding: Grinding is a method of machining utilizing a grinding machine, in which the workpiece is ground by means of a grinding wheel to obtain high precision and good surface quality.
5. Milling machines, lathes, drilling machines, grinding machines, etc. are common machining equipment, and there are some other special machining equipment, such as wire cutting machines, EDM machines, laser cutting machines, etc.
The process of machining usually includes workpiece design, process planning, process clamping, tool selection, machining operations, quality inspection and so on. In the machining process, it is necessary to select the appropriate machining method and process parameters according to the material, size, shape and accuracy requirements of the workpiece to ensure that the parts or products that meet the requirements are processed.
With the development of CNC technology, more and more machining processes have been automated and precision, improving processing efficiency and product quality. At the same time, machining is also constantly innovating and improving, applied to a variety of industrial fields, becoming an indispensable part of modern manufacturing.
