In the automotive industry, brake discs and brake drums are two very important disc components. CNC vertical lathes play an important role in machining these parts. The following is the general process for CNC vertical lathe processing of brake discs and brake drums:

1. Process preparation:

Prepare CNC programming files, including machining trajectories, cutting parameters, tool paths and other information.

Choose the right tool, usually a carbide milling cutter.

Prepare fixtures to secure the workpiece to ensure its stability and accuracy during processing.

2. Rough machining:

Rough machining is done using a CNC controlled tool to quickly remove excess material and create an approximate shape.

Adjust cutting parameters to ensure cutting efficiency and processing speed while maintaining the flatness and verticality of the machined surface.

3. Finishing:

Adjust the CNC program so that the tool gradually approaches its final size.

Finishing using finer cutting parameters for higher surface quality and more accurate dimensions.

Control cutting speed and feed rate to ensure no vibration or deformation during processing.

4. Hole processing:

If necessary, drill holes into the brake disc or drum.

Use appropriate cutting tools for hole machining to ensure accurate hole location and size.

5. Surface treatment:

Surface treatment of machined brake rotors or drums to improve appearance and performance. This may include polishing or other chemical treatments.

6. Inspection and trimming:

Check the dimensions and surface quality of processed parts to ensure compliance with specifications.

If necessary, make necessary trimmings to correct any dimensional deviations or surface imperfections.

7. Cleaning and packaging:

Clean machined parts to remove residues such as cutting fluid and metal shavings.

Pack parts to ensure their integrity and safety are maintained during transportation and storage.

CNC vertical lathes can provide high-precision, high-efficiency and stable processing, and are suitable for the production and processing of disc parts such as brake discs and brake drums. The accuracy and quality of these parts have an important impact on the safety and performance of automobiles, so CNC vertical lathes are widely used in the automotive industry.
