Boring

Boring is a machining of expanding the prefabricated hole with a cutting tool, which can be carried out either on the boring machine or on the lathe.

Boring

Boring is designed to enlarge the aperture, improve the accuracy and reduce the surface roughness, compared with drilling and reaming, the size of the boring is not limited by the size of the tool, and the boring has a strong error correction ability, which can correct the deviation error of the original hole axis by multiple cutting, and can make the boring hole and the positioning surface maintain a high position accuracy. Therefore, the processing range of boring is wide, and various holes of different sizes and different precision levels can be processed.


Boring is almost the only machining for holes with large aperture and high position accuracy requirements.

Process & Characteristics

Compared with other mechanical equipment processing, boring processing is a relatively difficult processing. It only needs to adjust one bit/(or bit holder/) to produce μm holes like H7 and H6. With the spread of machining centers in machining, boring is now only necessary for programming and twisting.


1. Tool rotation is different from CNC lathe machining, because the tool rotates during machining center, it is unlikely to immediately grasp the condition of the sharp knife during processing to adjust the amount of cutter. It is also unlikely that the machining diameter can be changed by simply adjusting the CNC machine twist, as is the case with machining centers. This becomes a considerable obstacle to fully automated processing.


2. Chatter The most common and headache problem in boring is chatter. The key reasons for flutter on machining centers are as follows:


3. Rigidity of the tool system software: including the stiffness of the collet, boring bar, boring head and part of its middle connection. Stub Boring is therefore very important for the machining of small round holes, deep holes and hard steel parts, where the stiffness of the tool system software is crucial.
