Various cutting methods of CNC machining center

1. Round-trip cutting:

The CNC machining center reciprocating cutting method is the most economical and easiest cutting motion to generate a reciprocating parallel cutting tool guide, maintain continuous motion in the stepping motion, and remove materials without a lift. This cutting method coexists with climb and up milling, and if wall finishing is enabled for the operation, it affects the tool path orientation of the wall finishing, maintaining whether the wall finishing is pure climb or up milling.

2. One-way cutting:

The unidirectional cutting method generates parallel unidirectional cutting tool guides. Round trips are high-speed travel actions. No kerf is generated when returning, so machining efficiency will be affected. One-way cutting can always maintain consistent climb or up-cut cutting, and is often used in situations where reciprocating cutting methods such as surface machining of islands and certain wall ribs are not suitable. Often used as a surface finish.

3. One-way cutting along the contour:

One-way cutting along the contour of the CNC machining center is used to generate toolpaths in parallel, one-way, along the contour, always maintain climb milling, or create up-cut milling cuts. The quality of the machined wall is better than mutual cutting and unidirectional cutting. The cutting is relatively smooth and does not affect the tool, so it is usually used for machining parts or thin-walled parts that require high sidewalls.
