Polygon milling

Product catalog summary

Overview
This document outlines the technical specifications and guidelines for using Schlagmesser (polygon cutters) on lathes with driven tools. It covers spare parts, dimensions, and machine compatibility, focusing on polygon milling to create flats on rotating components.

Specifications
The document details various Schlagmesser types, part numbers, dimensions, and compatible machines, including Gildemeister, INDEX, Nakamura, Tornos, and Traub. It specifies cutting edge diameters and insert types for each cutter.

Spare Parts
Lists of spare parts such as cutters, screws, TORX PLUS® wrenches, and balance elements are provided, along with torque specifications for screws. Additional sizes are available upon request.

Technical Information
Polygon milling involves synchronized rotation between the component and the milling cutter, performed in conventional milling mode. The number of flats depends on the rotation ratio and the number of inserts on the cutter.

Operation Guidelines
A 2:1 revolution ratio is recommended for optimal results, producing slightly convex surfaces. Ratios of 1:1 or 3:1 are discouraged for key surfaces due to strong convex or concave shapes.

Additional Notes
Guidelines for reinforced pocket design and axial feed direction are included. The document provides calculations for surface convexity based on cutter diameter, key width, pre-turned workpiece diameter, number of flats, and workpiece-to-tool ratio.

Conclusion
This guide assists in selecting and using polygon milling cutters on CNC lathes, ensuring precise and efficient operations.

Parameters for Flat Shape Calculation
Necessary parameters include the cutting diameter of the polygon milling cutter, across-flats dimension, premachined diameter, number of flats, and revolution ratio.

Machining Methods
Flats can be produced by grooving or turning, while chamfers are created by profiling (deburring).

Material Grades and Cutting Data
Material grades with corresponding cutting speeds and feed rates are listed. Feed rates are valid for turning and must be reduced by 30-50% for grooving, depending on insert width.

Machine and Tool Specifications
Specifications for machines, including maximum milling cutter speeds, are detailed for models from Gildemeister, INDEX, NAKAMURA, Alfred H. Schütte, TORNOS, and TRAUB.

Recommendations
Recommendations emphasize selecting suitable revolution ratios and shapes for different applications to achieve desired flat shapes.
