NewsletterNews from the Gühring world
The world of machining moves fast, but with us, you are always well informed: Stay up to date with news about our tools and company updates.
Maximum tool lives in aluminium
How real progress emerges from challenges is demonstrated by Dörr together with Gühring: By using the PKD Diver from Gühring, the company from Sankt Augustin quadruples tool life, reduces tooling costs, and elevates the surface quality of its components to a new level.
System 208 enhances stability
Unattended night shifts without risk: Veile Feindrehteile significantly increases process reliability and tool life in stainless steel machining with System 208. The result: stable processes, less scrap, and more cost-efficient production.
Mastering VA threads with ease
Decommissioning nuclear power plants demands maximum precision—especially for stainless steel threads. Weisser Bärwinkel relies on Gühring’s Pionex to master even tough materials. The result: more stable processes, longer tool life, and higher productivity.
Cutting knowledge directly from the manufacturer
Precision in machining – that’s what Gühring tools stand for. But as one of the world’s leading tool manufacturer, we not only supply high-quality products, but also a wealth of knowledge in the field of metal machining. Because only those who know the basics can get the most out of their manufacturing.
What does machining mean?
Machining is a collective term for various manufacturing processes. The machinist uses cutting tools to give an object a defined shape. To do this, the tool removes excess material in the shape of chips. The following techniques are most commonly used in the industry for precise machining: turning, drilling, milling, countersinking, threading and reaming. Cutting tools have one or more wedge-shaped cutting edges. These penetrate a material by applying force and produce chips. The more force is applied to the cutting edge of the tools, the deeper they penetrate.
What are clearance angles, wedge angles and rake angles?
The clearance angle is necessary so that the tool can cut. The harder the material, the smaller the clearance angle should be.
The wedge angle has an effect on the cutting force: If it is large, this results in a stable cutting edge but also higher cutting forces. A cutting edge with a small wedge angle, on the other hand, is sharper and less stable.
The rake angle determines how the chips are removed. In the machining of soft, long-chipping materials, the machinist selects a large rake angle.
Manufacturing processes
In manufacturing technology, all processes for the production of workpieces are referred to as manufacturing processes. They are referred to as manufacturing processes according to DIN 8580, which categorises the various techniques into six main groups of metal working, as shown in the following table.
| Manufacturing process main group | Subgroup (technology) |
|---|---|
| Moulding production process | Casting, 3D printing |
| Moulding production process | Rolling, forging, drawing |
| Production process cutting | Cutting, drilling, milling |
| Production process joining | Soldering, welding |
| Production process coating | Painting, powder coating |
| Production process material properties | Sintering, deep freezing, irradiation |
What is a machining process?
During cutting, the tool removes material from the workpiece in order to change its shape. The most important processes in this group are machining processes. These are used, for example, in metal working application.
During machining, the machinist can work on the workpiece with great precision. Machining tools from Gühring are therefore primarily used where perfect surfaces are required: in the automotive industry, aerospace or mechanical engineering.
Metal working
The metal working plays a major role in machining technology, as many parts for machines and constructions are made of metal and have to be individually machined. A distinction is made between two types in the field of metal working: Machining processes include milling and drilling, while non-machining processes include casting and punching.
Metalworking places particularly high demands on machines. That is why Gühring tools are also used on state-of-the-art lathes, for example, and are particularly suitable for CNC metal working.
