What are the commonly used CNC tool handles for CNC machine tool processing?

Numerical control machine tool is a machine tool that uses digital signal to control motor movement, which has the advantages of high efficiency, high precision, high automation, high flexibility and so on. It has a wide variety of processing methods and a high technical content, among which the CNC tool handle is one of the very important processing tools in the CNC machine tool.

A CNC tool holder is a component that connects another part (such as a cutting edge, drill, milling cutter, etc.) to the mandrel of the machine tool to ensure high-speed precision machining while making the operation more convenient. Common CNC tool handles are as follows:

1. Handle head

The shank head is a fixture that holds the tool in place on the spindle. It is commonly used for rotating tool heads, such as lathes, and can easily change cutting edges, drills, and milling cutters. The tool handle head is usually composed of a clamping part and a spindle interface, and different types of clamping parts can be selected according to different application scenarios, and different cutting edges can be replaced as needed when handling different materials.

2. Electrode handle

Electrode handle is an important component to install the electrode on the CNC machine tool, which is used for EDM and wire-cut machining. Compared to the cutting edges of conventional drills, milling cutters, etc., the electrodes usually have a smaller diameter and need to be fixed on a special electrode handle to ensure that their machining position can match the requirements of the computer program.

3. Knife bar

The tool bar is a component that assembles the entire tool on the machine. Depending on the type of tool bar, the tool can be placed in different positions for different cuts. The tool bar is usually operated in pairs with the spindle, so that the mechanism of the machine is not changed. The tool bar can also use an automatic tool change system, which makes it easy to change different milling cutters, drills, etc., even when dealing with a variety of materials.

4. Boring tool handle

Boring tool handle is a kind of CNC tool handle specially used for boring. They generally consist of a handle fixed to the bottom and a cutter stuck to the handle. The boring tool handle can be processed in a narrow space and is usually used for precision hole processing.

5. Built-in electrode handle

The internal electrode handle is a kind of CNC tool handle specially used for laser processing. The built-in electrode holder features a loop design that places the laser collector in a better position of the laser focus. It is usually used to process large workpieces quickly and stably.

The above is the CNC tool handle commonly used in CNC machine tool processing, different tool handles have different application scenarios and characteristics, according to the specific processing requirements to choose different CNC tool handles, can provide faster, more accurate and more efficient support for the processing process.
