Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milling cutter technology, and in particular to a profile milling cutter for mold finishing. Background Technology

[0002] A profile end mill is a milling tool specifically designed to replicate complex shapes or contours. It is typically used to machine irregular surfaces that are difficult to precisely machine with conventional end mills. These milling cutters are designed to move along a pre-existing model or template, thus replicating the same shape. The working principle of a profile end mill involves using a cutter head with a roller or slider that rests against the contour of the template. As the milling machine spindle rotates the cutter, the tool moves up and down or left and right along the contour of the template, precisely removing material and replicating the same three-dimensional shape as the template. This machining method is particularly suitable for industries such as furniture manufacturing, mold making, aerospace, and art production, where high precision and complex shapes are required. Depending on the application, profile end mills come in various types, including single-edged, multi-edged, ball-end, and pointed, each with its specific applications and advantages. Choosing the appropriate profile end mill and machining parameters is crucial to ensuring machining quality and efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, after the initial milling operation, secondary finishing is still required. Some milling cutter heads used for finishing cannot be replaced. Given the variety of metal materials that milling machines can process, a single milling cutter head cannot be fully adapted, requiring the replacement of the entire cutter shank, which increases the operating cost. Some milling cutter shanks are integral structures, which may break in special circumstances such as machine collisions. However, due to the special material of the shank, its cost is relatively high, and a breakage will render the entire structure unusable, resulting in significant overall losses.

[0028] The aforementioned structure includes a first cutting body 5 made of polycrystalline diamond (PCD). PCD cutting bodies are high-performance cutting tools widely used in high-precision and high-efficiency machining tasks. The main advantages of this cutting body are as follows: Hardness: PCD is one of the hardest known materials, second only to single-crystal diamond. This high hardness allows it to effectively cut very hard materials such as aluminum alloys and composite materials. Wear Resistance: Due to its extremely high hardness, PCD cutting bodies exhibit excellent wear resistance during prolonged cutting. Wear is minimal, extending service life and reducing replacement frequency and costs. Cutting Performance: PCD cutting bodies maintain stable performance under high-speed cutting conditions, making them suitable for high-production-efficiency machining tasks and improving productivity and machining quality. Thermal Stability: PCD cutting bodies have good high-temperature resistance, maintaining stable performance in high-temperature environments, making them suitable for machining conditions with high temperatures or high cutting heat. Surface Finish: PCD cutting bodies achieve extremely high surface finish and machining accuracy, making them particularly suitable for precision machining applications requiring high surface quality. Cutting Force: Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tool bodies generate lower cutting forces during cutting, helping to reduce machine load and energy consumption, and improve machining stability. Chemical Stability: PCD tool bodies exhibit good corrosion resistance to most chemicals, making them suitable for machining materials containing corrosive substances or for use in special environments. Tool Reusability: Due to their extremely high wear resistance and hardness, PCD tool bodies can be reused after multiple resharpening sessions, reducing the overall cost of tools. Application Areas: Composite Material Machining: Such as carbon fiber, glass fiber reinforced plastics, etc. Aluminum Alloy Machining: Suitable for high-precision aluminum parts. Automotive and Aerospace: Manufacturing precision components. Summary: Due to its extremely high hardness and wear resistance, PCD tool bodies provide excellent performance under demanding machining conditions, making them particularly suitable for high-precision and high-efficiency machining tasks.

[0029] By incorporating a second cutting body 16 made of ceramic, ceramic cutting tools, typically made of alumina, silicon nitride, or other ceramic materials, offer significant advantages in cutting tools due to their unique material properties. The main advantages of ceramic cutting tools are as follows: Hardness: Ceramic cutting tools possess very high hardness, often exceeding that of traditional carbide tools, enabling effective cutting of high-hardness materials such as hardened steel and certain alloys, providing high-precision machining results. Wear Resistance: Ceramic cutting tools exhibit extremely high wear resistance, with a very slow wear rate, extending tool life and reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs. Thermal Stability: Ceramic cutting tools maintain their hardness and cutting performance at high temperatures, making them suitable for applications with high cutting speeds and high cutting temperatures, reducing the risk of tool failure due to heat. Cutting Force: Ceramic cutting tools typically have lower cutting forces, reducing the burden on the workpiece and machine during machining, improving machining efficiency and reducing equipment wear. Chemical Stability: Ceramic materials have excellent resistance to most chemicals, making them suitable for machining chemically complex materials or for use in corrosive environments. Machining Accuracy: Ceramic cutting tools achieve very high machining accuracy, making them suitable for precision machining tasks and capable of producing high-quality workpiece surfaces and dimensional precision. Non-magnetic: Ceramic cutting tools are non-magnetic, suitable for machining magnetic materials, avoiding magnetic interference. Thermal Expansion: Ceramic materials have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, resulting in good dimensional stability of the tool under temperature changes, reducing the risk of deformation. Application Areas: Machining of high-hardness materials: such as hardened steel and titanium alloys. Cutting in high-temperature environments: such as high-speed cutting tasks. Chemically corrosive environments: such as machining with certain corrosive chemicals. Due to its high hardness, wear resistance, thermal stability, and chemical stability, ceramic cutting tools provide excellent performance in demanding cutting tasks. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as being relatively brittle and potentially prone to fracture under impact loads; therefore, it is best suited for precision, high-speed cutting applications.

[0030] The tool body 17, made of cubic boron nitride (CBN), is a superhard material primarily used for cutting hard metals. The main advantages of CBN tools are as follows: Hardness: Extremely high hardness, enabling the cutting of very hard materials such as hardened steel and high-hardness alloys. Wear Resistance: CBN tools experience very slow wear, extending tool life and reducing replacement frequency and maintenance costs. Thermal Stability: CBN maintains its hardness and performance at high cutting temperatures, making it suitable for high-speed and high-temperature cutting conditions, reducing the risk of tool failure due to heat. Chemical Stability: CBN exhibits good resistance to chemical reactions with iron-based materials, making it suitable for machining ferrous materials and preventing chemical reactions between the material and the tool. Cutting Force: CBN tools have low cutting forces, improving machining efficiency and reducing the burden on machines and workpieces. Machining Accuracy: CBN tools enable high-precision cutting, suitable for machining tasks requiring strict dimensional and surface quality control. Thermal Conductivity: Cubic boron nitride (CBN) materials possess high thermal conductivity, effectively dissipating heat generated during cutting, helping to maintain tool temperature stability and reducing the effects of thermal expansion. Applications: Machining of hardened steel: Particularly suitable for quenched hardened steel and other high-hardness materials; High-precision cutting: Used for machining precision parts; High-speed cutting: Performs excellently under high-speed cutting conditions. Due to its extremely high hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability, CBN tool bodies provide excellent performance in machining tasks requiring high hardness and precision.
