Advantages Of High-speed Cutting Technology

The reason why high-speed cutting is more and more widely used in the industry is that it has significant advantages over traditional machining. Specifically, it has the following characteristics:

1. Can improve production efficiency

High-speed machining allows the use of a larger feed rate, which is 5 to 10 times higher than conventional machining, and the material removal rate per unit time can be increased by 3 to 6 times. When machining parts that require a large amount of metal to be removed, the machining time can be greatly reduced.

2. Reduced cutting force

Because high-speed cutting adopts an extremely shallow depth of cut and narrow cutting width, the cutting force is small, and the cutting force can be reduced by at least 30% compared with conventional cutting. This can reduce machining deformation for parts with poor rigidity, making it possible to cut some thin-walled fine workpieces.

3. Improve the processing quality

Because the excitation frequency of tool cutting is far from the natural frequency of the processing system during high-speed rotation, it will not cause forced vibration of the processing system, ensuring a better processing state. Since the cutting depth, cutting width, and cutting force is very small, the deformation of the tool and the workpiece is small, the dimensional accuracy is maintained, and the cutting damage layer is thinned, the residual stress is small, and high-precision, low-roughness machining is realized.

4. Low processing energy consumption, saving manufacturing resources

Due to the high metal removal rate per unit of power, low energy consumption, and short production time of the workpiece, the utilization rate of energy and equipment is improved, and the proportion of cutting processing in the total resources of the manufacturing system is reduced, which meets the requirements of sustainable development.

5. Simplified the processing process

Conventional machining cannot process the quenched material, and the quenching deformation must be manually trimmed or solved by electrical discharge machining. High-speed cutting can directly process the quenched material. In many cases, the electric discharge machining process can be completely eliminated, the surface hardening problem caused by electric discharge machining is eliminated, and artificial finishing is reduced or eliminated.
