Wheel hubs and brake discs are key components of automotive braking systems, and their precision machining is critical to vehicle performance and safety. Using a CNC vertical lathe for the finishing of wheel hubs and brake discs ensures a high-quality finished product. CNC vertical lathes have stronger rigidity and stability, which can ensure that the workpiece is not easily deformed during processing, thus improving the accuracy and quality of the product.

1. Workpiece clamping:

Select a fixture suitable for the size of the wheel hub and brake disc to ensure stable clamping of the workpiece during machining. This helps improve machining accuracy and prevent vibration.

2. CNC programming:

Develop CNC programs, including cutting paths, tool paths and cutting parameters. CNC programming needs to take into account the geometric characteristics of the wheel hub and brake disc to ensure that the dimensions and surface quality required by the design are achieved.

3. Tool selection:

Choose tools for different machining operations, including turning, milling, drilling and more. Especially for brake discs, special cutting tools may be needed to ensure cutting results and surface quality.

4. Roughing and finishing:

Initial rough machining is performed to quickly remove excess material, followed by fine machining to meet the dimensions and surface finish required by the design.

5. Surface quality and dimensional accuracy:

Control cutting parameters during machining to ensure the final product has the required surface quality and dimensional accuracy. This is particularly important for requirements such as brake disc flatness and roundness.

6. Cooling and lubrication:

Use appropriate cooling and lubrication systems to ensure that the tool and workpiece maintain appropriate temperatures during the cutting process, prevent overheating and improve cutting efficiency.

7. Regular testing and calibration: Regularly detect part dimensions during processing to ensure processing accuracy. At the same time, the CNC system is regularly calibrated to ensure its stable performance.

8. Automation functions:

If possible, consider using CNC vertical lathes equipped with automation functions, such as automatic tool changing systems, automatic workpiece measurement, etc., to improve production efficiency and reduce operator intervention.

When finishing wheel hubs and brake discs, the high precision and automation capabilities of CNC vertical lathes can improve production efficiency and product quality. Ensure reasonable configuration and maintenance of equipment to achieve optimized processing results.
