Aluminum tube milling process

Abstract

The invention discloses an aluminum tube milling process. The aluminum tube milling process comprises the following steps that material placement is carried out, wherein a mechanical arm automaticallytakes and places an aluminum tube blank on a fixture, and the product fixture adopts the manner of indexing tray transportation; side milling is carried out, wherein a milling cutter is moved downwards to mill the two end faces A and B of the aluminum tube blank, and rough milling and finishing milling are carried out; drilling is carried out, wherein a drilling knife is moved downwards to drilla hole in the upper end surface C of an aluminum tube; dovetail groove milling is carried out, wherein a servo control electric spindle is used for driving the milling cutter to mill a trapezoidal groove in the end face B of the aluminum tube, and rough milling and finishing milling are carried out; deburring is carried out, wherein a diamond brush is used for deburring the end faces of the aluminum tube and the trapezoidal grooves; and concave bag punching is carried out, wherein the mechanical arm grips a product into a concave bag punching die, concave bag processing is carried out on the two side faces D of the aluminum tube. In the above steps, waste chippings are sucked away in dust extraction method, and the cutters are cooled by blowing the cold air. In the above manner, the present technology replaces conventional CNC machining operation, and multiple clamping, carrier replacing and debugging are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical milling, in particular to an aluminum tube milling process. Background technique [0002] Milling is a mechanical milling method in which a milling cutter is used as a tool to mill the surface of an object. In the prior art, the degree of automation of aluminum tube milling is not high, and most of them adopt traditional NC milling operations. Different product shapes require supporting fixtures to realize the milling process. Aluminum tube milling includes various processes such as picking, positioning, deburring and milling. Each process needs to be completed by a separate program, which often requires manual labor to operate the machine, which greatly improves the difficulty of clamping and replacing the carrier. The milling process consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the efficiency is low, which is very inconvenient. [0003] Generally, machining centers use cutting flui...

[0002] Milling is a mechanical milling method in which a milling cutter is used as a tool to mill the surface of an object. In the prior art, the degree of automation of aluminum tube milling is not high, and most of them adopt traditional NC milling operations. Different product shapes require supporting fixtures to realize the milling process. Aluminum tube milling includes various processes such as picking, positioning, deburring and milling. Each process needs to be completed by a separate program, which often requires manual labor to operate the machine, which greatly improves the difficulty of clamping and replacing the carrier. The milling process consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the efficiency is low, which is very inconvenient

[0003] Generally, machining centers use cutting fluid water cooling to cool down the cutting tool, which is easy to contaminate the product, and subsequent cleaning steps need to be added, which increases time and increases production costs. Based on the above defects and deficiencies, it is necessary to improve the existing technology
