How long is the service life of CNC tool handle?

Nc tool handle is an important tool used in NC machining, and its life is one of the important factors affecting machining efficiency and machining quality. The service life of the tool holder is not static, because the use of the environment, cutting materials, cutting conditions and other factors will have different effects on its life. In general, the service life of the CNC tool holder depends on the cutting force, cutting speed, load and other factors it is subjected to. Different types of tool handle life will also be different, the following will be detailed about the relevant knowledge of the service life of CNC tool handle.

First, the tool handle life is related to the tool handle material

CNC tool handles are usually made of high-strength alloy steel or high-speed steel, because these materials have excellent rigidity and hardness, and perform well when withstanding high cutting forces. High-alloyed steel has high hardness and good heat resistance, and can be used to cut high-hardness materials, so its service life is relatively long. The high speed steel shank can be used for higher speed cutting, but its hardness and toughness are relatively low, so the service life is relatively short.

Second, the tool handle life is related to the working environment

The service life of CNC tool handle is also related to the working environment in which it is located. The existence of dust, moisture, oil and other lubricants or other harmful substances in the processing environment will cause damage to the CNC tool handle and reduce its service life. Good working environment can effectively extend the service life of CNC tool handle.

Third, the tool handle life is related to cutting conditions

The type of cutting material and cutting speed, cutting depth and other factors will have different effects on the life of CNC tool handle. For metal materials with high hardness, carbide shank should be selected, and the cutting speed and cutting depth should be controlled to reduce the wear and bending deformation of the shank. In addition, attention should be paid to maintaining the normal use of lubricants to avoid the occurrence of high temperature environments and rapid cooling.

In summary, the service life of CNC tool holder is affected by many factors, including materials, environment, cutting conditions and so on. In the use of CNC tool handle, pay attention to control the use of the tool handle conditions, timely inspection and maintenance, to extend its service life. At the same time, the appropriate material and type of CNC tool handle should be selected according to the specific situation to achieve a good processing effect.
