Face milling is usually used for roughing to cut off most of the material, and it is also used for finishing the shape and removing the corner residual allowance. Suitable for workpieces with a flat bottom or top surface perpendicular to the tool axis and vertical side walls. It is a common metal cutting method in CNC machining.
Features:
1. The tool axis is fixed, the bottom surface of the part is plane and perpendicular to the tool axis vector, and the side of the part is parallel to the tool axis vector.
2. Processing can be defined only based on two-dimensional graphics, so it is not necessary to make a complete part shape.
3. Different material side directions can be specified through the boundary, and any area can be defined as the processing object.
4. The part material is defined by the boundary, and the depth of cut is defined by the height difference between the specified boundary and the bottom surface.
5. It belongs to 2.5-axis machining. During the machining process, the XY two-axis linkage in the horizontal direction is first completed, and then the Z-axis is cut down to complete the part processing.
