Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology, specifically relating to a tooling for machining small threaded holes. Background Technology

[0002] As the performance requirements of aerospace parts continue to increase, the geometric features of parts are becoming more complex, and the assembly requirements between parts are also gradually increasing. Therefore, the use of threaded structures is more common when designing parts.

[0003] Threaded structures are typically machined using CNC milling or manual tapping. CNC milling offers higher precision but is generally suitable for larger threaded holes with diameters of 10mm or more, resulting in higher processing costs. Manual tapping can machine smaller threaded holes with diameters up to 10mm. However, currently used guide bushings only offer coarse positioning, making accurate calibration difficult. This leads to issues such as low machining accuracy and long auxiliary processing time, which become more pronounced in mass production, posing a significant challenge to lean manufacturing. Utility Model Content
