CNC Machining an aluminum part | Hermle C400 | SolidCAM | iMachining

Just Machining - 01
In this episode of "just machining" I show you the first cnc machining operation of an aluminum part I had to do. With some nice iMachining paths, roughing, thread cold forming and milling, fine boring and much more!
The part has some critical tolerances, this is why you will sometimes see the same tool changed in twice. This is to have one pure roughing tool and a separate finishing tool.
⚠️ Please do not mill / drill aluminum dry! This is just for video reasons and will kill your tools and parts.

You don’t know how grateful i’am to be able to see someone machining using Metric units.

[@fl4meing219]

No comments, just machining. Exactly what I’ve been looking for.

[@FrenziedFruitcake]

Nice video, there aren't many channels that show the whole process. And i appreciate all the speed and feed information throughout the video.

I love videos as a machinist myself I really appreciate all the speeds and feed and tool info you put in and the cam work is on point keep it up you got yourself a new subscriber. I just sat and watched all your videos back to back and the only let down I found was there wasn't more to watch so I got the bell on so I never miss a new on.

At 11:30 you can see what i think is the roll tap deforming material into the pocket. Looks like the hole is very close to the pocket so very thin wall thickness. Probably a good idea to drill and tap that hole before milling out the pocket.

[@BavariaCNC]

Nice work there. It seems as one of the cold forming taps visibly deformed the inside of the already machined part after it was finished. One question: did the face mill survive that colossal crash? Was it still usable?

yeah aluminum you can just peel off and its fine, its so soft

[@michaelkelly3158]

Hey man, I love your videos - I have to ask, do you account for chip thinning when taking finish passes with low radial engagement? I have issues with my finish when I don't!

[@BavariaCNC]

Youe mean like doing a second surface path? I mostime do an extra "empty" path to ensure tolerences will be good and surface will be nice :)

[@michaelkelly3158]

@@BavariaCNC Like when you run your finishing pass, if you run a 0.025MM FPT it's actually less than this as its thinnest point if the axial engagement is small, like 0.2MM, 0.3MM etc. I only discovered this recently... but I find if I don't calculate for it my surface finish isn't so good. My machine isn't as nice as yours however, just a Haas MM.

[@bigbob1699]

What's the G code for OOPS ?

[@robind.5542]

Speed and feeds are slow for Aluminum Milling. I have an end mill (Wisp-R-Mill) that we run a 1/2" Dia. @ 10,000 RPM @ 350 IPM. Radial DOC= .325" - Axial DOC= .700" 3 Flute ZRN Coated end mill.

[@megel1990]

wie stark machst du den Steg am Ende mit dem Scheibenfräser 😅👍

[@BavariaCNC]

Bei so kleinen Teilen ca. 0,1 bis 0,15mm

[@derbaer1302]

Warum ist der Tisch bei Werkzeug Wechsel angestellt, welchen Hintergrund hast das?

[@BavariaCNC]

Das macht die Maschine automatisch, wenn der aktuelle Winkel den Tisch selbst in den Verfahrbereich zwischen Werkzeug und Werkzeugwechsel stellen würde, dabei geht die Maschine immer davon aus, dass ein Werkzeug mit maximal glaube ich 350mm vorbeifahren kann.

[@mukarrammughalmughal5854]

Also zum Gewindefräsen in dem 6082er: F = 0,3 (Mittelpunktsbahn, geht auch schneller, je nach Qualität der Oberfläche, die man braucht), Drehzahl = was die Maschine hergibt. M14x0,5 ist Feingewinde und hat kaum Widerstand. 1 Umdrehung schruppen, 1 Schlichten, fertig. Probiere es einfach aus oder taste Dich ran. Wirst überrascht sein wie schnell Gewindefräsen tatsächlich geht. Beim Gewindeformen hätte ich "optisch" auf M5 getippt also war die Kamera wohl auf 2x Zoom? ;-) Gut, bei M2,5 kann ich verstehen, wenn man sich nicht zum "Schneiden" traut und eher "Formen" will. Formen ist eher nicht so toll in 6082er, aber wie hier mit Öl, geht es dann wohl schon. Ich persönlich bin dazu übergegangen alle Gewinde zu fräsen, was bei M2,5 auch möglich ist (gibt es bei Gühring ab M1,6) und in Deinem Fall auch schneller ist, da Du nicht die Maschine zum manuellen ölen stoppen musst. Und auch wenn die fragil aussehen, die brechen nur wenn man sie runterfallen lässt ;-). Richtig gefahren ist man auf älteren Maschinen IMMER schneller als schneiden/formen und auf neueren Modellen ziemlich gleich schnell. Waren nur als kleine Tipps zum Gewinde. Muss man nicht befolgen.

[@twooldfartsinanrv7137]

Old time programmer here, I really do not understand why so many waisted tool path cuts with this software.

[@JaakkoF]

SolidCAM looks like it makes 'unnecessary' toolpaths, when in reality it ensures that the remaining stock for finishing is exactly what is needed and that the cutter always sees the same chip load. Regular programming doesn't do that, which results in less tool life and longer cycle time. You can tweak and tweak the settings, toolpaths and cutters, but eventually for small batches it isn't worth the effort to get couple of seconds here and there.
