Machine Tools

What are the machine tools?

Machine tools are machines for handling or machining metal or other rigid materials, usually by cutting, boring, grinding, shearing, or other forms of deformations.

What are the common tools used in machine building?

1. Cutting tools

Cutting tools are one of the most common tools in mechanical manufacturing, used to process metals and other materials into the required shape and size.

Common cutting tools include milling cutters, drills, lathes, planers, gear knives, etc. The use of these cutting tools in mechanical engineering abounds and is the key tool for product processing.

2. Clamping tools

A clamping tool is used in mechanical manufacturing to make the workpiece to maintain the position and shape of the tool, used to fix the workpiece, and will be fixed on the machine tool for cutting.

Clamping tools have manual and automatic two types, including machine nuts, collets, spring clamps, suction cup clamps, and so on.

3. Gauges

Gauge is used in mechanical manufacturing to measure and inspect the size and shape of the workpiece tools. Common gages have vernier calipers, depth gauges, micrometers, and percent tolerance gauges. These gauges for the inspection of the size and shape of the workpiece are essential, as mechanical manufacturing tools can not be missing.

4. Jigs and fixtures

Jigs and fixtures are used in mechanical manufacturing in the process of fixing, supporting, and positioning the workpiece tool. Usually consists of two or more pieces of fixtures, and can be used for processing planes, round surfaces, complex surfaces, and holes. Common fixtures have a workpiece center locator, adjustment plate, jigs, to the top of the device, etc.

5. Welding tools

The welding tool is one of the important tools in machinery manufacturing, used to connect metal parts. Commonly used welding tools include arc welding machines, and gas-shielded and laser welding machines. These tools are widely used in machinery manufacturing, which is the manufacture of various types of products and necessary tools.

6. Polishing tools

Polishing tools are often used in mechanical engineering to smooth the surface of the tool. Common polishing tools are sanding machines, manual grinders, pneumatic grinders, and so on. These tools are not only widely used in mechanical manufacturing, but also widely used in other fields.

Various tools commonly used in mechanical manufacturing include cutting tools, clamping tools, gauges, jigs and fixtures, welding tools, and polishing tools.

These tools provide strong support for the success of mechanical manufacturing, as well as providing engineers and manufacturers with convenient and efficient tools.
