General Introduction

1. General 1.1 Introduction

Please read through the Instructions for Use carefully before using the Quick knurl cutting tools!

The instructions have been written for operators with qualified training in the field of machining and cutting.

Compliance with the Instructions for Use increases reliability in use,

increases the service life of the tools,

and prevents downtimes.

We reserve the right to make alterations to the technical details of the tools by comparison with the information and illustrations contained in these Instructions for Use. Swarovski Optik KG

General Tool Construction

1.2 Tool Construction

A-series tools are flexible in use and may be employed on all lathes from the conventional to CNC-controlled dual-spindle lathes, optionally as a left-hand or right-hand tool, in front or behind the turning centre.

The tools have a cutting action, are free-cutting and it is not possible to make them adopt a specific

speed ratio to the diameter of the workpiece by means of sustained forcing. As a result the number of teeth of the knurl produced may differ. The difference is approx. ± 1-3 teeth depending on the pitch.

General Tool Construction

Tool definition

Definition of the tool as left- or right-handed is determined by the position of the knurl cutters when the tool is viewed from the front in the clamped position. left right left right

Clamping

Clamping of the holder on the shaft is effected by means of an eccentric chuck. The surface clamping generated as a result reduces the vibrations arising due to machining and increases the service life of the knurl cutters. Shafts and bodies may be individually assembled easily and without much effort by the customer himself.

Perfect results may be achieved with:

Correct adjustment

Closely following the instructions regarding the start of the knurling process

Appropriate feed and cutting speed

Selection of the correct tool size. Quick knurl cutter tools with large dimensioned knurl cutters, e.g. Ø 21.5 mm instead of Ø 14.5, have a longer service life

NOTE: It is imperative to ensure an abundant supply of coolant or cutting oil directly onto the knurl cutters to ensure perfect cooling and lubrication of the knurl cutters.

Step 3: Pre-adjust turning centre

For centring of the tool, the mark M on the shaft must be aligned with the mark on the head. The mark in the middle of the head should be selected for use in conventional machines.

The outer marks should be selected for use in CNC machines depending on the shaft dimensions.

Step 7: Adjust cutter

The ideal position of the knurling cutters is when they lie parallel on the workpiece and still cut very slightly, i.e. the cutting edge of the cutters can be pressed in somewhat deeper (max. 15’). In the case of materials which are hard to machine, the knurling cutters may be inclined up to max. 1°.

max=15´

Sequence:

Adjust index disc 6 slightly towards the next smaller diameter until the correct cutter setting is reached

Tighten clamping segment 8

Step 8: Start of knurl

The start of the knurl should be in a width no greater than 1.5 mm. With this width now move the tool to the full depth without interruption. The feed on infeeding should be approx. 0.05 — 0.1 mm. The knurling depth corresponds to the pitch of the knurling cutter being used, e.g. 1.0 mm pitch requires 1.0 mm infeed with reference to the diameter. The depth is measured from the knurling cutter's point of contact with the workpiece.

10


After an idle time of 2-3 seconds, the workpiece is knurled by using the longitudinal feed. The surface deformation of the workpiece cannot be determined exactly as this is different from material to material. The knurling depth, however, should be sufficient to ensure that the knurl is only just sharp.

max 1,5 mm

ATTENTION: Under no circumstances knurl with longitudinal feed into the face edge of the workpiece. Starting the knurl within the workpiece can be done only in certain circumstances.

NOTE: Note that the protective bevel at the beginning of the workpiece may not be applied until knurling is complete.

The coarser the pitch, the smaller the feed. Feed and cutting speed have no effect on the knurl pitch.

Step 9: Knurling

NOTE: If the knurl is not accurate or is one-sided, then the knurling process may be repeated after correcting the tool.

The measured Z value is the start of the knurl not the collision measurement. The measured X value is adopted without a correction value for a workpiece diameter of 5 mm. The radius values shown in the table must be added to the X values depending on the workpiece diameter. With this measurement the knurl cutters are positioned approximately 0.2-0.3 mm above the diameter to be knurled. Precise adjustment of the tool must be carried out on the machine.

Look at start of knurl

Teeth of knurl cutters knocked off Knurl cutter has been overloaded feed too great, cutting depth too great

Fixing screws of knurl cutters loose Look at direction of rotation Look at adjustment of cutters

Seizing of knurl cutters on bushing Reduce cutting speed Use Molykote paste Coolant jet directly onto the knurl cutter
