In the processing of automobile and motorcycle parts, various cutting tools are widely used to form the final shape, size and surface quality of the parts. These parts include engine components, transmission parts, suspension components, and other mechanical components. The following are the common cutting tools used in the machining process:
Milling
Milling: Use a milling cutter to rough and finish the parts to form the shape of the parts and process flat or complex curved surfaces. The milling process is suitable for machining body parts of motorcycles, engine mounts, gears and other structural parts.
Turning processing
Turning: Using turning tools to process cylindrical or tapered parts, such as crankshafts, camshafts, wheel hubs, etc., on a lathe. Turning enables high-precision dimensions and surface finishes.
Drilling and reaming
Drilling: Using a drill bit to make holes to provide assembly holes or oil holes for parts.
Hole reaming: A reaming tool is used to finish the hole after drilling to achieve higher dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
Grinding
Grinding: Using a grinder and grinding wheel to perform precision machining of the surface or outer circumference of a part. The grinding process is used to improve the dimensional accuracy, shape accuracy and surface finish of parts, and is suitable for high-precision parts such as engine pistons, cylinder liners, etc.
Gear processing
Gear hobbing and gear shaping: For the gears in the gearbox, the gear hobbing or gear shaping process is usually used to form a precise tooth shape.
Gear grinding: For gears that require higher precision, gear grinding is performed after hobbing or shaping.
Cutting processing
Sawing: Use metal saws or wire cutting technology to cut materials to create shaped blanks or perform preliminary segmentation of parts.
Special processing
Threading: Use a tap or thread milling cutter to process internal and external threads, which is very important for the assembly of parts.
Surface treatment: Although not directly involved in cutting, some surface treatment processes may be performed after cutting to improve the wear resistance of the part or reduce friction.
