The purpose of the forming machine
2023-08-04
The most common use is to process straight surfaces, but through originality and some accessories, a wide range of tasks can be completed. Other examples of its use are:
Keyways in pulleys or gear bosses can be machined without the use of specialized broaching devices.
Dovetail slide
Internal splines and gear teeth.
Keyway, Spline, and Gear Tooth Cutting in Blind Holes
Forming machine
The tool path type of the cam drum requires 4-axis or 5-axis contour machining or turning milling cylindrical interpolation in CNC milling terminology
In some cases, electric spark wire cutting work can even be avoided. Starting from drilling or coring holes, forming machines with boring bar type tools can cut internal features that are not suitable for milling or drilling (such as irregularly shaped holes with tight corners).
