Non-standard parts processing is a common process in industrial production. With modern society, the demands for the quality of processed products are increasing. This also reflects the current state of non-standard parts processing. The technical requirements for non-standard parts processing are becoming increasingly stringent. This article will mainly introduce what non-standard parts processing means.
Non-standard custom parts are non-standard components of a product. Non-standard parts do not conform to industry-wide standards and specifications, failing to meet the multi-level needs and special developments in product manufacturing. Their appearance or function is not included in the national equipment catalog, and their development costs and cycle time are correspondingly higher than standard parts.
We know that mechanical parts are classified as standard or non-standard. Standard parts have a defined standard, while non-standard parts lack a consistent standard. Non-standard parts processing involves using processing machinery to grind or cut away excess parts, making the non-standard parts look more aesthetically pleasing and easier to use.
What is Non-Standard Parts Processing?
Standard parts refer to the general principles of general machinery that can be used according to nationally stipulated manufacturing plans. Conversely, non-standard parts processing must be carried out according to specific regulations. Only the manufacturer possesses the necessary components for processing. Non-standard parts processing is the biggest advantage of customized manufacturing. Non-standard parts processing is a manufacturing process that involves a set of non-standard part forming operations performed by removing material (through chip removal or abrasion) using machining equipment such as CNC lathes.
Non-standard parts processing
The processing of non-standard parts requires the use of specialized industrial machinery specifically designed for non-standard parts processing to perform the necessary machining and modification on the shape and dimensions of the non-standard parts. The processing methods for non-standard parts will vary depending on the type and properties of the object, employing two different processing methods.
All metal non-standard parts processing (except castings) undergoes at least one metal forming operation at some stage of its manufacturing process, and often requires multiple different operations. Metal forming theory can help determine how to use machine tools more effectively and improve productivity.
What machine tools are used for non-standard parts processing?
The entire process of non-standard parts processing requires a high degree of professionalism. Only with such precise and stringent requirements can non-standard parts be machined into non-standard products, achieving higher precision.
Non-standard parts machining can be completed using manual, semi-automatic, or automatic machine tools, but the machining operation is performed by mechanical equipment with necessary motors and mechanisms. Classic machine tools for non-standard parts machining include CNC drilling machines: the workpiece is fixed on the drill table of the CNC drilling machine, which performs rotary cutting motion and linear feed to machine a hole or drill depth that is theoretically the same as the drill bit diameter and meets the required dimensions. Another example is the filing machine, which uses inserts mounted on a punch holder for machining. The inserts perform linear cutting motion on a workpiece fixed to a worktable, and the workpiece has a travel motion perpendicular to the cutting motion.
Non-standard parts processing
Another type of machine tool for processing non-standard parts is the CNC machining center. Its main difference from a CNC milling machine is that the machining center has the ability to automatically change machining tools. By installing tools for different purposes on the tool magazine, the machining tools on the spindle can be changed automatically during a single setup, enabling multiple machining functions.
