How to Solve the Difficulties of Groove Machining

Grooving machining is a crucial aspect of mechanical processing, primarily used to create various shapes and sizes of slots on workpieces. These groovings are typically used for functions such as connection, transmission, positioning, sealing, and lubrication. Shenzhen SCZY Technology Co., Ltd. has a deep understanding of user needs and starts with a detailed introduction to the types and methods of grooving machining. The company addresses the challenges and issues encountered during the machining process by offering solutions that balance strength with cutting sharpness to achieve excellent chip removal performance.

The grooves on the mechanical parts can be achieved in many ways, such as CNC turning, CNC milling, broaching, slotting, etc., but the various grooves

on the surface of the rotating body are usually processed by CNC turning.

Groove machining is a common but special and difficult task in CNC machining. Although the shape looks simple, in actual machining, groove machining

faces many challenges:

1) Tool rigidity and stability issues:

The blades commonly used in slotting are narrow and have a small positioning and mounting surface, which leads to unstable positioning and mounting,

poor rigidity and easy vibration. The longer the blade overhang, the poorer the tool rigidity, the more unstable it is, and the more likely it is to be damaged

by displacement and vibration.
