All CMZ lathe models are equipped with a standard chip breaking function. Using a different feed rate during the same pass the chip is broken. As federate is changed the surface quality is affected and that is why this option is only recommended for roughing operations.
To setup this code, two machining sections are defined. Each section has a machining time and a different feed, when the feed is reduced in one of the sections the chip is broken.

Chatter must be avoided at all costs. Chatter not only produces a poor surface finish on diameters but also seriously limits tool life. Long slender shafts, extended boring bars, thin walls and so on, can present real challenges. Spindle Speed Variation function allows the spindle speed to fluctuate…
Material is a considerable percentage in component cost. In order to avoid large material waste on the cut off, the blades are usually very thin and long, which often lead to vibrations and bad surface finish. The only solution is to reduce the tool overhang to minimise the effect; however, the…
A solution to automate the process of machining shafts in your CNC lathe. Our GL20II gantry loader system combined with the WS700 workstocker for shafts allows you to leave you machines running unmanned. You can have several parts in each line up to 700mm. Controlling the robot is very easy and you…
One of the most critical aspects in many machining processes is chip formation. Long and entangled chips are formed mainly in turning operations due to constant cutting conditions. This issue requires changes in the process; such as modifying machining parameters or changing tools to get into a safer…
Our applications department can analyse in detail the process to be carried out and offer you a part study helping you to reduce cycle times.
We suspect that you have not found what you are looking for. We have some great ideas for our next application videos, but we would also like to find out your opinion on...
