Abstract
The novel turning method on a lathe or a machining apparatus uses a tool head which is traversable for the machining and can be rotated mechanically in a receiver with a rotary axis D in the course of the machining. The rotary axis D of the tool head lies within an angular range α of 45° to 90° to the X-axis and perpendicularly to the Z-axis of the machining apparatus. In addition, a tool head is used whose cutting inserts are arranged in such a way that each cutting insert has a tool reference plane Pr through in each case identical selected cutting-edge points perpendicularly to the assumed cutting direction in accordance with DIN 6581, this tool reference plane Pr running within an angular range β of 90° to 135° to the rotary axis D of the tool head.
Claims8
A turning method, which comprises:
- providing a lathe or a machining apparatus with a tool head, the tool head being traversable and rotatable about a rotary axis V in the course of a turning operation;
- defining the rotary axis D of the tool head within an angular range α of 45° to 90° relative to the X-axis and perpendicular to the Z-axis of the lathe or machining apparatus;
- providing the tool head with one or more cutting inserts for individual use during the turning operation, and arranged such that each cutting insert has a tool reference plane Pr through in each case identically selected cutting-edge points perpendicularly to an assumed cutting direction in accordance with DIN 6581, the tool reference plane Pr enclosing an angle β of 90° to 135° with the rotary axis D of the tool head;
- and
- turning a workpiece with a cutting insert on the tool head.
A tool head assembly translationally disposed on a lathe or machining apparatus, comprising:
- a tool head rotatably disposed about a rotary axis D enclosing an angle α of between 45° and 90° with the X-axis and extending perpendicular to the Z-axis;
- and
- cutting inserts carried on said tool head for individual use during the turning operation, and arranged such that each cutting insert has a tool reference plane Pr through in each case identically selected cutting-edge points perpendicularly to an assumed cutting direction in accordance with DIN 6581, the tool reference plane Pr enclosing an angle β of 90° to 135° with said rotary axis D of said tool head.
