What are the speed and feed rate for lathe knurling?
1 Answers
Generally 500-600 rpm, with a feed rate of 70-120. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Introduction: CNC lathes and turning centers are high-precision, high-efficiency automated machine tools. Equipped with multi-station turrets or power turrets, these machines offer extensive processing capabilities, enabling the machining of straight cylinders, inclined cylinders, arcs, various threads, grooves, worms, and other complex workpieces. They feature linear interpolation, circular interpolation, and various compensation functions, delivering excellent economic benefits in the batch production of complex parts. 2. CNC: "CNC" stands for Computerized Numerical Control. CNC machine tools automatically process workpieces according to pre-programmed instructions. The machining process route, process parameters, tool trajectory, displacement, cutting parameters (spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, etc.), and auxiliary functions (tool change, spindle forward/reverse rotation, coolant on/off, etc.) are written into a machining program using the specified instruction codes and program format of the CNC machine. This program is then recorded on a control medium (such as punched tape, magnetic tape, disk, or bubble memory) and input into the CNC device of the machine tool, directing the machine to process the workpiece.
