In mechanical processing factories, machine tools like milling machine, often require the configuration of workholding chucks to perform desired milling operations, like the planer. Today we’re going to say something about milling magnetic chuck.
First, what’s a planer? A planer is a type of metalworking machine tool that uses linear relative motion between the workpiece and a single-point cutting tool to cut the work piece.
Milling magnetic chuck could take the shape of a large magnetic bed on the operation table, or a group of small magnet chucks on it.
The cost/price of the magnetic chuck depends on the quantity of magnet poles used in its manufacturing, while the latter is decided by the dimensions of the workpiece, ie the length, width, thickness, etc.
Benefits of using magnetic chuck on milling machine:
- The magnetic force can be as strong as up to 16kg/cm², and will not fade along with the time; the magnetic line of force won’t penetrate through the surface of workpiece, won’t magnetize the tool and the spindle of the machine, and do not affect the machining accuracy and chip removal.
- Deformation-free clamping
- Machining efficiency improved by 30%-60%
- Vibration-free machining extends the service life of machine tool
- One operator can control the whole machining process, reducing labor costs, improving machine tool utilization.
Market demand of magnetic chuck in machining industry
At present, the development prospects of the domestic machining field are very good. Equipment manufacturing industries such as automobiles, wind power, high-speed rail, excavators, and nuclear power have maintained continuous positive growth. The production capacity of parts and components cannot keep up, so it is necessary to improve production efficiency. And our electric permanent magnetic chuck is the latest generation of products, which is more efficient, energy-saving, safe and low-cost than traditional clamps. Therefore, our magnetic workholding device will surely gain a place in machining industry.
