In multi-station combined machine tools, boring, grooving and tapping are commonly used machining methods. This paper will introduce the definition of these three processing methods and their application in the manufacturing process.

bore a hole

Boring is a method of drilling holes that uses a boring tool instead of a drill to accurately process the diameter and depth of a round hole. Boring is usually used for machining large diameter holes, but it can also be used for machining precision holes, such as machining mechanical parts such as gear boxes, engine blocks and couplings.

The advantage of boring is that high precision aperture and hole depth can be achieved, while also improving production efficiency and quality. Compared with traditional drilling, boring can better control the size and shape of the aperture, so it has been widely used in machining.

grooving

Grooving is a metal working method that uses milling or grinding to produce grooves. In the process of grooving, the tool cuts into the workpiece surface at a small Angle and removes the material in a manner similar to an inverted cone, creating a groove or groove. Troughs are commonly used to process sheets and plates, such as in the manufacturing of automobiles, aircraft and construction.

The advantage of the spreading groove is that it can quickly cut accurate notch in a short time, and can maintain the consistency and flatness of the notch. In addition, the grooves can also be used to process notches of various shapes and sizes, so they are widely used in industrial production.

tapping

Tapping is a method of machining threads into the inside or outside of holes or rods. It uses a spark machine or other CNC machining equipment to perform precise machining in order to join parts together when needed. Tapping is commonly used to manufacture fasteners in areas such as automobiles, aircraft, ships and construction.

The advantage of tapping is that high precision threading can be achieved, while also ensuring the quality and uniformity of the thread. In addition, tapping can also be used to process threads of different diameters and lengths, so it has high flexibility and adaptability.

In summary, boring, grooving and tapping are commonly used in multi-station combined machine tools. Each of them has its own unique advantages and application range, which can meet the processing needs of different fields. In the machinery manufacturing, automotive, aviation and other industries, these processing methods have become one of the standard manufacturing processes.
