Tools to Must Have in a Machine Manufacturing Industry

Every field has witnessed major changes in the way of it’s processing over the years. Technology and IT industry has given a new form to almost every industry.

 

Conventional methods are no longer in use. These changes have helped the industry in many ways. They have optimized output and reduced human power. In less time and just by sitting at a place we can operate machinery. Yes, it sounds obnoxious, but it is true.

 

Manufacturing is a tough task to handle. It takes years of expertise to take up this job. Especially when it is about manufacturing of these advanced big machines.

 

We are here to guide about the tools that will help you in such cases to yield optimum quality results. Let’s have a look.

 

Tools that used in manufacturing of CN machines

 

1. Grinding tools


Milling is a cutting process where we use a cutter to remove the material from the surface of a metal or work piece. This cutter which we use has multiple rotating cutting surfaces. Milling cutters play an important role in the milling process and they are used in several milling machines. Milling cutters are of many sizes and shapes.

 

Following are the types of milling cutters that we use in different milling machines:

 

1. Roughing end mill

2. Slab mill

3. End mill cutter

4. Hollow mill

 

2. Punching tools


Punching is a forming process that uses a punch press to force a tool, called a punch, through the workpiece to create a hole via shearing.A scrap slug from the hole is deposited into the die in the process. Depending on the material being punched this slug may be recycled and reused or discarded.

 

Types of punches are as follows:

 

1. Centre punch

2. Prick punch

3. Solid punch

4. Transfer punch

5. Drive punch

6. Pin punch

7. Roll pin punch

8. Hollow punch

9. Dot punch

 

3. Drilling tools

 

Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multi-point.

 

The bit is pressed against the work-piece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute.


1. Hammer Drill

2. Benchtop Drill Press

3. Masonry Bits

4. Dowel Bits

 

4. Lathes


A lathe is a machining tool that is used primarily for shaping metal or wood. It works by rotating the workpiece around a stationary cutting tool. The main use is to remove unwanted parts of the material, leaving behind a nicely shaped work-piece.

 

The best are wooden lathes.

 

A wood lathe is a type of lathe that's designed specifically for woodworking applications. In other words, they are used to cut, sand, drill, face, turn and deform wooden workpieces. They still work like all other lathes by exposing a rotating workpiece to a stationary cutting tool.

 

Summary 

 

We humans are born to make mistakes but in the manufacturing industry there is no room for that. Thus, to ensure zero mistakes, we need to opt for tool. It is a hustle-free, cost effective, time saving and most efficient way of manufacturing.
