CNC Tool Holding Devices

This document discusses tool holding devices and tool materials used in CNC machines. It describes a modular tool holder system that uses basic tool holders, extensions, and tool adapters to hold various tools like milling cutters and drills. Various tool materials are also discussed, including carbon steels, high-speed steels, stellites, solid and insert carbides, coated carbides, and modern coatings like chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition coatings. Coated cemented carbides, which have very thin coatings of materials like titanium carbide, provide increased performance for carbide tools.

INSERT & TOOL HOLDERS


TOOL HOLDING DEVICES
The tool holder system for machining centers shown in the figure is
a modular toolingsystem. It consists of a basic tool holder,
extension or reducer and tool adaptors. Tooladaptors are available
for receiving various tools like milling cutters, drills reamers
etc.Various methods of holding the tools are shown in figures.

TOOLS AND TOOL MATERIALS USED IN CNC MACHINE .


The most important properties of the cutting tool material
are:1.The material must withstand excessive wear even though
the relative hardness of the tool materials changes.
2.Ability to retain hardness under severe working condition.3.Ability
to withstand cutting forces.4.The frictional coefficient must remain
low for minimum wear and reasonable surfacefinish.5.Cost and
easiness of fabrication should have within reasonable limits.

TYPE OF TOOL MATERIALCARBON


STEELS

It may only be used in manufacture of tools operating at low cutting speed (12mt/min).

Disadvantages of carbon tool steel are they are comparatively low heat and wear resistance.
HIGH-SPEED STEEL (HSS)

HSS operate at cutting speeds 2 to 3 times higher than for carbon steels and retain their hardness
up to 900c.

Three general types of HSS are high tungsten, high molybdenum and high cobalt.

Tungsten in HSS provides hot hardness and form stability. Molybdenum maintainskeenness of the
cutting edge. Cobalt makes the cutting tool more wear resistance.

STELLITES

Stellite is the trade name of a non-ferrous cast alloy composed of cobalt, chromium andtungsten.

They are used for non-metal cutting application such as rubbers plastics etc.
CARBIDESa)Solid Carbidesb)Inserts.

They are composed principally of carbon mixed with other elements.

The basic ingredient of most carbide is tungsten carbide that is extremely hard, puretungsten
powder is mixed under high hear (1500c) with pure carbon in the ratio of 94% and6% weight.

The two types of carbides are the tungsten and titanium and both are more wear resistant
Carbides are designed for machining tougher materials chiefly for various materials.

COATED CARBIDES

The coated carbide has substrate and coating layer.

Substrate for toughness having hard materials and soft materials (cobalt +
carbides)

Coating layer of carbide (very hard)

Better impact strength to resist fracture.


MODERN COATING
This layer of coating reduces friction between chip and tool and time
duration is verylimited.Modern coating (Multi Layer)Coating
processChemical vapour deposition.Physical vapour deposition.Plasma
CVD coating.
COATED CEMENTED CARBIDES
The cemented carbides with a very thin coat of carbides. The layers of
titanium carbideswere only a few microns thick and increase the
performance of carbide tools.

COATED CARBIDES (GC)


More than 75% of turning operations and more
than 40% of milling operations are
todayperformed with coated carbides.The main
coating materials are

Titanium carbide (Tic)

Titanium nitride (Tin)

Aluminum oxide ceramic (Al203) and

Titanium carbon nitride (TiCN)
