019 Milling: What is a 5-axis machining?
We will introduce an overview of the 5-axis machining machine, one of the most advanced cutting machines, and the parts that can be made with 5-axis machining. It is suitable for manufacturing high value-added parts such as aircraft parts and impellers.
018 Milling: Avoiding undercut by design change
We will introduce examples of changes made to the design of the undercut section. There are methods such as making the shape go through, making it into a shape that can be processed with a T-slot cutter, adding a shape for processing, and dividing it.
017 Milling: Undercut that are difficult for milling
We will explain examples of undercut shapes that are difficult to cut and how to process them. Machining by die-sinker electric discharge or welding is also possible, but the cost and construction time may be significantly higher.
016 Milling: The best way called design change!
We will introduce typical examples that are prone to deformation, such as bifurcated shapes and long holes near the edges. By changing the design to a shape that is less prone to deformation, manufacturing will proceed more smoothly.
015 Milling: Avoiding detortion by design
We will explain ways to suppress deformation on the design side when designing thin parts. Possible methods include reducing the amount removed, increasing wall thickness, and adding reinforcement.
014 Milling: Destortion of thin shape
Milling is a removal process, so when processing thin objects, deformation inevitably occurs due to stress. Here are some examples of shapes that are easy to deform.
013 Milling: 3D processing and surface roughness
We will explain how to process three-dimensional shapes and surface roughness by cutting using a ball end mill. I think it's a good idea to keep in mind that there are rough processing and finishing steps, and each has a different purpose.
012 Milling: Welcome to the 3D processing world!
We will introduce an example of 3D processing that allows you to freely process shapes in the X, Y, and Z directions. By processing free-form surfaces three-dimensionally, it is possible to create various complex shapes such as aircraft parts, jigs for molded products, impellers, reliefs, etc.
011 Milling: Actual setup work
We will explain the details of the setup work for cutting. There are many steps within setup work, such as fixing materials, aligning them, setting the origin, installing tools and measuring length, and creating and inputting NC programs.
010 Milling: Design considering with setup changes
By aligning the machining surfaces, it is possible to reduce setup changes and the number of machining steps. Here are some examples of such rational design changes.
