What are the common problems and solutions of PVC turning and milling?
PVC material is a common plastic material and turning and milling is a common processing method. In PVC material turning and milling processing, the following common problems may occur.
Excessive cutting force.
The characteristics of PVC material are moderate softness and hardness, easy to process, but due to its toughness and stickiness, it is easy to lead to excessive cutting force.
Solutions include.
Reduce cutting speed and feed rate
Selecting the right tool and machining method
Adjusting the geometry and cutting edge parameters of the tool
Ensure sharpness of the cutting edge tip of the tool
Ensuring a flat surface and adequate rigidity of the PVC sheet
Heavy tool wear.
PVC material is also very abrasive to the tool as it adheres easily to the tool. If the tool wear is severe, it may lead to problems such as loss of surface quality and reduced machining accuracy.
Solutions include
Regular tool replacement
Selecting high quality tools and coatings
Adjusting the cutting edge parameters and cutting parameters of the tool
Performing regular cleaning and maintenance of tools
Ensuring a flat surface and adequate stiffness of the PVC sheet
Chip build-up.
Chips generated during the turning and milling process of PVC materials also tend to accumulate on the tool or on the workpiece, resulting in increased cutting forces, reduced surface quality and possibly even damage to the tool.
Solutions include.
Regularly cleaning chips from tools and workpieces
Selecting the proper cooling lubricant
Increase the flow rate of the cooling lubricant
Adjusting cutting parameters to reduce the possibility of chip build-up
Poor surface quality.
PVC material requires high surface quality as it is often used to manufacture highly demanding products. If the surface quality is poor, it may lead to a decrease in product quality.
Solutions include
Selecting the right cutting parameters
Using high quality tools and coatings
Adjusting workpiece clamping to avoid clamping marks and vibrations
Ensuring a flat surface and adequate rigidity of the PVC sheet
Use of suitable cooling lubricants
