Free image of blade machining for a screw pump using a 5-axis CNC center and stainless steel disc material. Due to the properties of stainless steel, precision machining requires careful attention to heat generation and tool wear. In this process, rather than using dull-angled throwaway inserts, a sharp end mill was selected to perform trochoidal […]
A free image of 5-axis contour roughing on a curved surface, performed with a radius end mill. Contour machining is the go-to method for creating unique shapes like inclined or curved surfaces. For this process, a radius end mill is the ideal tool due to its resistance to corner wear and chipping. Key Terminology for […]
Here are some free images from a job where we used an additional axis (indexer) on a vertical machining center to perform chamfering on the inside of a cylinder using a ball end mill. By combining a 4-axis machining center with a ball end mill, it becomes possible to achieve cylindrical internal chamfering, which is […]
Here are some free stock photos of a vertical machining center, showing the setup for drilling holes in an S45C steel plate. The plate is clamped vertically using a vise. While it’s crucial to align the vise itself, we always double-check the alignment directly on the workpiece after clamping. Also, since the plate is thin, […]
i’m setting up to machine a shaft on a large machining center, and I’m using a V-block to secure it. V-blocks are ideal for holding cylindrical workpieces on a machine because they provide both precise positioning and strong clamping force. The threaded section has already been finished, so it’s protected with tape.” Key Terminology and […]
