Chips can accumulate inside a workholding device and obstruct cutting tool access to the part. Changeover time can be greatly reduced by using workholding designed to facilitate quick loading and unloading and reconfiguration.Īn unwanted piece of metal that is removed from a workpiece.

The process of switching a machine from one part setup or process to another. Ceramic parts can be created through hybrid machining operations on multi-axis machines. Bonds form when adhesive substances are exposed to heat or light.Ī hard, brittle material that can withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion. Batch machining with multi-axis machines often involves using pallet systems.Īn attraction between two surfaces using glues, epoxies, or other adhesive agents. The process of creating multiple identical parts as part of a single production cycle. A ball lock pin's balls retract for installation and return to their original position to hold the pin in place. Axis configuration can affect how workholding interacts with machine movement, cutting tool access, and clearance during cutting.Ī self-locking quick-release pin that uses a button and internal spring to control one or more balls at the end of the pin. The number and location of all of the axes on a multi-axis machine. Adhesives are sometimes used as workholding for non-metallic, delicate, and irregularly shaped workpieces.

Adapters add support or clearance to provide better access for the cutting tool.Ī non-metallic substance used to bond two or more materials together. A device that is used in combination with other multi-axis workholders.
