Machining Components for Structural Rigidity

In terms of getting the best outcome with regard to general turning operations a client not need seek full blown FEA analysis unless your client is paying you $1000 per hour if you need such detailed element analysis studies feel free to go straight to contact us and not read any further.

In general terms of turning applications, there has been an established set of applications with parameters that make a lot of significant difference to the success of the operations with regard to be it heavy duty roughing large masses or finishing silky smooth surfaces.

Having said that I don't want to be preaching to the converted 

The success of the operation can be determined by a number of inputs in the machining process which are directly related to the properties of such a material. These main machining inputs can be broken down into the following:

• The distance from machine clamp to edge of cutting tool.
• The natural frequency of machine or tool setup.
• The type of cutting applied to a material.
• Is a effective cutting fluid to be used.
• The cutting tool holding arrangement which is unique different for each cutting application, cutting: tool holding insert clamping, insert shape/entering angle and insert geometry/insert grade.

Each of these listed – and especially the way these parameters are applied can have a multiplying effect in terms of a three dimensional vector forces that are driven in a two dimensional space. These limitations can promote or provide some challenges with regard expected machining outcomes based on a specific the properties of a specific material.

Tips to getting the right product finish

Turning Tools

Machinists utilize their skills and expertise to produce the most aesthetically pleasing and accurate components possible.  They take pride in their work as do their clients.  A good surface finish and the general look of parts are very important aspects which require the most ideal machining practices to be used.  So how do machinists get the results they want? The following is by no means extensive but it give a little insight:

Use an insert with a wiper

If you can, make sure your manufacturer uses an insert with a wiper.  These have a flat section like the second image in the diagram above.  This flat part ensures that the surface is wiped smooth as the tool moves across the outside of the part.  You can also avoid a finish that has thread elements to it.

Increase the speed

When using cutting tools a rise in the speed of the tool will make sure that your part is touching the tip of the tool for a smaller time period.  This minimizes the material build-up on the end of the tool which can in turn make the surface finish less than ideal. 

Reduce pauses

When a tool stops while it is still touching the surface it can leave a mark on the part.  If you make sure to minimize the number of pauses and hesitations of your tool you can ensure a better surface finish.  You may need to change the entire manufacturing procedure.

Press Tooling on the Central Coast

As lead times become shorter and press tools become more complex, it’s important to be able to trial, develop and prove press tools thoroughly before delivery to the final production site.

The team at Alno Product Services try-out facility allows us to do just this, offering great benefits for our customers. We encourage customers to come and view "tool trials" in order to evaluate their tools pre-production. Where possible, we try to replicate the final production environment, this presents a good opportunity to address any potential issues before final delivery. “Ironing out” any issues prior to production, facilitates the transition from toolmaker to final production site smoothly with minimum hassle, effectively allowing our customers to “hit the ground running” when the tool is delivered to site.

Another advantage of our in-house try-out facility is that where possible we can provide product samples prior to a tools final construction. Even though a tool may not be complete it can still be used to make sample parts. Our customers benefit from this as it allows them to take away these parts early for use in their pre-production test builds allowing them to action other post processes earlier.

Solidworks Modeling - Multibodies

Multi bodies is an area of SolidWorks that has had a lot of consistent development over the last decade. It was added in 2001. Then have not been my preferred method of modeling except to say that they are very helpfully in creating injection moulded tooling. 

The development of in-context modeling has sure left SoildWorks competitors playing catchup in terms of development and ease of use. Multi body parts come into there own in large scale assemblies where per defined configurations can speed up the 3D modelling process. 

Where many people get caught is they treat multi body parts as and Assembly trying to mate them and create bills of materials with them. Virtual parts inside large assemblies offer the fast way to construct large assemblies in a team enviornment.
