Case.03Improving the machining accuracy of molds and prototype parts and shortening machining time

  • Machining improvement
  • Individual equipment
Issues
It is difficult to predict the effect of cutting tool rigidity on machining accuracy, so we keep a large machining allowance and machine over multiple phases until the desired dimensions are achieved.
Solution
  • Use Hitachi Solutions’ Cutting Accuracy Improvement Service to automatically generate an offset machining program appropriate for the machine tool and cutting tool rigidity (tool path G code, etc.)
  • Register the generated machining program to the machine tool to start machining
  • The iQ Monozukuri Tool Wear Diagnosis for Machine Tools evaluates how machining conditions and workpiece dimensions are affected by changes to each using the machining torque waveform
Benefits
  • Create a high-quality machining program in a short period of time that does not rely on an operator’s skill level
  • Improve the roughness of the machining surface and dimensional accuracy using the visualization of the machining torque applied to the cutting edge
  • Lower overall machining time and tool costs by reducing the number of machining phases.
