Abstract
The machining method uses a tool to machine a workpiece set in a jig, the workpiece has a plate-like web part arc-shaped in plan view and a flange part bent and arranged vertically from an edge along the arc shape, the tool has an end cutting edge and a peripheral cutting edge, and the jig has a surface where the web part is placed and a contacting surface where the flange part comes into surface contact. The machining method includes: pressing the flange part against the contacting surface; cutting the flange part by the peripheral cutting edge by feeding the tool in an arc direction of the arc shape; and cutting the web part by the end cutting edge by feeding the tool in the arc direction.
Claims9
A machining method for machining a machining target material by using a tool, the machining target material being set in a jig,
- wherein the machining target material includes a web part and a flange part,
- the web part has an arc shape including a first edge having a first arc shape and a second edge having a second arc shape substantially parallel to the first edge, wherein the first and second arc shapes extend within a common plane, and
- the flange part is bent and arranged perpendicularly to the common plane from the first edge of the web part,
- wherein the tool includes an end cutting edge and a peripheral cutting edge, and
- wherein the jig includes a supporting surface on which the web part is placed and a contacting surf ace with which the flange part comes into surface contact,
- the machining method comprising:
- a pressing step of pressing the flange part against the contacting surface;
- a flange cutting step of cutting the flange part by the peripheral cutting edge of the tool by feeding the tool in an arc direction of the arc shape;
- and
- a web cutting step of cutting the web part by the end cutting edge of the tool by feeding the tool in the arc direction,
- wherein the web cutting step includes cutting the web part with a plurality of paths.
A machining method for machining a machining target material by using multiple types of tools, the machining target material being set in a jig,
- wherein the machining target material includes a web part, a flange part and an R-part,
- the web part has an arc shape when viewed from a predetermined direction, including a first edge having an arc shape and a second edge substantially parallel to the first edge, and extends in a plane intersecting the predetermined direction,
- the flange part is bent and arranged vertically from the first edge of the web part along the predetermined direction, and
- the R-part is smoothly connecting the web part and the flange part to each other,
- wherein a first tool of the tools includes an end cutting edge and a peripheral cutting edge,
- wherein a second tool of the tools includes a cutting edge corresponding to a shape of the R-part, and
- wherein the jig includes a supporting surface on which the web part is placed and a contacting surface with which the flange part comes into surface contact,
- the machining method comprising:
- a pressing step of pressing the flange part against the contacting surface;
- a flange cutting step of cutting the flange part by the peripheral cutting edge of the first tool of the tools by feeding the first tool of the tools in an arc direction of the arc shape;
- a web cutting step of cutting the web part by the end cutting edge of the first tool of the tools by feeding the first tool of the tools in the arc direction;
- and
- an R-part cutting step of cutting the R-part by the cutting edge of the second tool of the tools by feeding the second tool of the tools in the arc direction.
