Improving Gear Milling Efficiency by Creating Prefabricated Cutters with Replaceable Cutting Carbide Plates

Today, when machining domestic-made worm milling cutter according to GOST 9324-80, a problem arises in their durability at the roughing stage. Russian tool companies engaged in the manufacture of metal cutting tools do not currently offer prefabricated worm tools with cutting elements made of hard alloy tools for machining large-modular gears.

Purpose of research. Creation of prefabricated structures for machine-building enterprises with replaceable cutting carbide plates (RCHAP). Due to this, the productivity of equipment already available at the enterprise is increased several times, the economic efficiency of introducing high-quality metal-cutting tools makes it possible to purchase modern equipment and make the work of machine operators at machine-building enterprises more efficient and less time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a fundamentally new technical solution, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of machining gears with a metal-cutting tool, with the arrangement of replaceable carbide cutting plates in the prefabricated initial contour of the manufacturing rail in worm milling cutters.

Methods. The research method is the use of graphic simulation, which allows you to determine the size of the crosssectional area of the cut layer for the cutting elements of the worm tool.

Results. Improving the processing efficiency will be achieved by implementing a group cutting scheme in a prefabricated worm milling cutter by using a larger number of main and side carbide cutting inserts on an Archimedean tool worm, which allow sequentially cutting the machining allowance and reducing the feed rate to the cutting insert, to ensure milling uniformity throughout the processing stage, and also reduce the magnitude of shock loads on cutting carbide elements of a precast tool.

Conclusion. The use of replaceable carbide plates in a group cutting scheme increases the durability and reliability of a precast worm cutter.
