As a common cutting tool in the field of mechanical processing, vertical turning tools will wear out during long-term use. The main forms of wear are as follows, and corresponding measures are given accordingly.
1. Blade wear
When the cutting edge of a vertical turning tool is worn too deeply, it will not only affect its processing quality, but also reduce processing efficiency. For edge wear, we should promptly replace the tool or repair the tool. Especially for high-precision cutting, the standards for replacing or repairing tools should be stricter.
2. Scratches and cutting thermal cracks
Thermal cracks and scratches on the surface of the braking area will affect the processing quality. After practice and research, it was found that the main cause of hot cracks is the existence of various defects, such as too many impurities. For this kind of wear, we should first find out the problem and solve the problem in a targeted manner, and then repair or replace the vertical turning tool.
3. Teeth loss and collapse
Tooth loss and collapse are serious forms of tool wear. In this case, it is necessary to first confirm the specific location of wear. If the claws are worn, we can replace the claws first, or repair them with cemented carbide brazing with sufficient strength. Pay attention to the exposed area and cross-section quality of the metal joint surface. If the lower end of the tool tip, covering layer or inner layer is worn, we need to replace the entire tool body.
4. Wear at the joint between the handle and the stem
When the joint between the tool handle and the tool stem is worn, it will affect the tightness between the vertical turning tool and the part, ultimately affecting the processing quality. For this kind of wear and tear, we should carry out appropriate combing and sorting, and then take corresponding remedial measures, such as replacing the entire product or repairing the worn part.
5. Bayonet wear
Bayonet wear will cause the vertical lathe tool to be unable to be firmly fixed on the chuck, making it impossible to perform normal processing. Especially on heavy machine tools, this kind of wear is common. In order to avoid this situation, we can choose better quality bayonet products, or adopt appropriate maintenance and protection methods to reduce bayonet wear.
In short, for common wear problems of vertical turning tools, we should diagnose and deal with them in time, and take appropriate measures to maintain and maintain them to ensure processing quality and efficiency.
