It is a cutting tool used for milling, with a tapered blade design, suitable for machining complex shaped workpieces with tapered surfaces, slopes, deep grooves, tapered holes, etc. Conical end mills have a wide range of applications in mold manufacturing, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and other fields.
Characteristics and advantages
Conical design: The blade part is conical, which can process surfaces with a taper to meet the processing requirements of special shapes.
High precision machining: Suitable for high-precision and high-efficiency machining scenarios, it can ensure the smoothness and dimensional accuracy of the machined surface.
Wide applicability: It can be used to process various metal materials, such as steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, etc.
Diverse structures: According to processing requirements, taper end mills can be divided into flat bottom taper milling cutters, ball end taper milling cutters, and other types, suitable for different processing scenarios.
Common types
Hard alloy taper flat bottom milling cutter:
Purpose: Mainly used for processing deep grooves, tapered holes, inclined surfaces, etc. with taper.
Features: Made of hard alloy material, with strong wear resistance, suitable for high-speed cutting.
Hard alloy taper ball end milling cutter:
Purpose: Suitable for machining complex surfaces such as impellers, blades, and cavities.
Features: The ball head design can process circular arc surfaces, suitable for precision machining of three-dimensional curved surfaces.
Precautions for use
Tool selection: Choose the appropriate taper end mill based on the hardness and machining accuracy requirements of the processing material.
Cutting parameters: Reasonably set spindle speed, feed rate, and cutting depth to avoid tool overload or rapid wear.
Tool installation: Ensure that the tool is securely installed to avoid a decrease in machining accuracy or tool damage caused by vibration.
Cooling and lubrication: Using cutting fluid for cooling and lubrication can prolong tool life and improve machining quality.
Application scenarios
Mold manufacturing: used for processing complex structures such as mold cavities, parting surfaces, and flow channels.
Aerospace: Processing key components such as aircraft engine blades and wings.
Automotive manufacturing: Processing automotive engine cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and other components.
Precision Machinery: Processing high-precision inclined surfaces, tapered holes, etc.
maintenance
Regular inspection: Check the wear of cutting tools and replace severely worn tools in a timely manner.
Cleaning tools: Clean the surface of the tools after processing to avoid corrosion caused by residual chips.
Rust prevention treatment: When stored for a long time, rust prevention treatment should be applied to the cutting tools to prevent rusting.
