Part machining is a complex process. From raw materials to finished products, it needs to go through a variety of processing processes and use a variety of processing equipment. Moreover, in order to meet the diverse process requirements, in actual processing, in addition to the most important machine tool equipment, some auxiliary production equipment may also be used. Although these devices are used less frequently, they also play a very important role.
When you get a list of equipment from a vendor, you may not be able to tell what the equipment is for by the name. Let us help you! Next, we will take you to quickly understand the various auxiliary production equipment commonly used in machining parts.
Deep hole drill
Mainly used for machining deep holes in parts.
Deep hole drill is a drill specially used for processing deep holes, which can be divided into two categories: external chip removal and internal chip removal. There are gun drills, deep-hole flat drills and deep-hole twist drills for external chip removal; for internal chip removal, there are three types of BTA deep-hole drills, jet drills and DF deep-hole drills.
Engraving & Marking Machine
Mainly used for lettering/marking.
The engraving machine uses a tool to mark the surface of an object with a certain depth. In terms of processing principle, it is a combination of drilling and milling. It has a variety of data input modes, which can be selected according to needs.
Mechanical engraving machines are divided into high-power and low-power. Metal engraving usually requires high-power engraving machines with a power of more than 1500W.
The laser marking machine uses a laser beam to permanently mark the surface of various substances. In terms of processing principle, the deep material is exposed through the evaporation of the surface material, so as to engrave exquisite patterns, trademarks and characters, and its precision is higher, so it appears more frequently in some occasions requiring finer details.
Chamfering machine
Mainly used for deburring.
Chamfering machine is a small precision machine tool specially used for mold manufacturing, hardware machinery, machine tool manufacturing, hydraulic parts, valve manufacturing, textile machinery chamfering and deburring of products such as milling and planing.
The use of fast machine chamfering is the development trend of the machinery industry. It overcomes the processing shortcomings of the existing machinery and electric tools, has the advantages of convenience, speed and accuracy, and is the best choice for chamfering and cutting of metal objects.
According to the needs of chamfering, it is divided into linear chamfering and curved chamfering.
Grinders & Sharpeners
Mainly used for sharpening various knives and tools.
However, the grinder can also grind ordinary small parts, or deburr and clean. It is mainly composed of base, grinding wheel, motor or other power source, bracket, protective cover and water supply. It can be divided into hand-held grinder, vertical grinder, hanging grinder, desktop grinder, etc.
The sharpening machine is mainly used for grinding metal equipment such as turning tools, drills, milling cutters, engraving knives, computer engraving machines, engraving and milling machines, machining centers, cutting plotters, engraving machines, and marking machines. It was first known as the end face sharpener, and its structure is mainly gantry type.
