[0002] Large crankshaft blank is manufactured by using the drop forging extrusion process instead of the die forging and forging process, and the blank allowance is very uneven. In the machining process, the uneven blank allowance and asymmetric shape inevitably lead to machining error, which causes the center of gravity to deviate from the rotation center, resulting in engine vibration and vibration force, causing engine noise and vibration. With the increase of the rotation speed of the crankshaft, the vibration caused by dynamic imbalance becomes more intense. Therefore, the crankshaft has a high-precision plane milled on the crank arm, and a threaded hole is processed for installing the balance weight block for dynamic balance of the crankshaft. In the machining process, the crankshaft is dynamically balanced, and holes are drilled in the balance weight block to remove weight, so as to ensure the dynamic balance of the crankshaft. If the shape tolerance and position tolerance of the balance weight block installation plane milled on the crank arm do not meet the processing requirements of the drawing, the installation accuracy of the balance weight block on the crank arm will be affected, the pre-tightening force of the balance weight block mounting bolt will be affected, the overall dynamic balance of the crankshaft will be out of tolerance, and the dynamic balance index of the engine cannot be ensured. The existing processing technology for milling the high-precision plane on the crank arm is line marking processing.
