Oscillation cutting - Servo Oscillation Cutting

Download document

Oscillation cutting is a machining function which uses the sinusoidal oscillation of a servo axis to enable chip breakage.

One of the most critical aspects in many machining processes is chip formation. Long and entangled chips are formed mainly in turning operations due to constant cutting conditions. This issue requires changes in the process; such as modifying machining parameters or changing tools to get into a safer but less productive situation, decreasing the performance of the process.

Therefore, the impact of poor chip breaking management affects workpiece integrity, productivity, tool life or even operator safety leading to production stops.

Oscillation cutting (Servo Oscillation Cutting) is a machining function which uses the sinusoidal oscillation of a servo axis to enable chip breakage. While oscillating the specified axis along the cutting direction, the cutting strategy is carried out synchronizing the movement with the rotation of the spindle.

CMZ can implement this function on demand in new CNC lathes as specific hardware and software are required, as well as fine tuning to the specific machine. This document explains the benefits of the function and how to use it.
