Easiest Way to Dial in a BORE HEAD | DVF 5000 5 Axis CNC Machine

[@saschafunk1644]

I still heared from this system, but never seen one in action before. Thank you for showing. At my workplace, we have very tight tolerances at our workpieces to produce. Sometimes it is not allowed to open the window or door, because the change in room temperature can affects the result of the bore diameter. Also the coolant must cooled down to 20 degrees celsius, before starting the boreing process. Greetings from Germany.

[@saschafunk1644]

@@mostlymotorized We have measuring pins for bores up to 10 mm. They are polished and manufactured with an accuracy of 0.0001 mm. Each diameter comes into a set of 100 pins with tight gradations. Every bore that has a larger diameter is measured with 3-point probes that can measure to an accuracy of 0.001 mm. The bore tools we use, are manufactured by KAISER in Germany an have an accuracy of 0,001 mm. All measuring tools are stored in an climate box and getting checkt each half year from an certified calibrating laboratory.

We use Kaiser boringhead's in our shop with analogue dial's and we also hit really tight tolerances with those tools. It's just all about being focused when doing precise work. You made a point by losing count yes, but when you know you are doing something exact just don't get distracted. If your buddy that came to ask you something is a machinist too he should be able to understand that you are doing something where you gotta be focused. All in all it is a cool tool and useful if you are not used to it.

Another awesone video by Titan, personally never went off the dial as a tool and die maker, always setup a tenths indicator off the side for opening up the bore. I can't even imagine working in a place with all this modern tech. My shop has such old equipment.

[@SeraphinFox]

As a machinist who started out boring with boring bars both with AND without those dials, I'd have KILLED for something like that. I always dreaded having to change the inserts on my boring bar. It was a custom built bar with multiple inserts going down it and cut 5 diameters at once, each a different size. NO DIALS. Each insert had a set screw that could be used to adjust the insert and, therefore the diameter of the corresponding bore. Bringing each one into size was a chore, especially making all adjustments by feel with allen keys. I can almost guarantee that company is still using them too. Glad to see that something far better is out there.

[@jmowreader9555]

What is ahead is dark manufacturing, where robots cut the stock, load it into your machine and run the job with no human intervention required. In 2009 I was hauling beer out of Anheuser-Busch’s brewery outside Syracuse, NY. They’ve got a huge warehouse where they keep the deliverable beer. Distributors send in their orders via EDI. There’s a little office that assigns these orders to particular docks. A Teamster backs your empty trailer into a dock. When it’s there, all these little robotic forklifts immediately pull your order and put it in your trailer; the only possible point of failure is if the wrong trailer was put in the dock. So, basically, we’re all going to be administrators in the future. Consider Titan’s shop. Titan doesn’t employ engineers; all his work comes in pre-designed. There’s no reason why a computer and robots couldn’t look at each job as it came in to assign it to a machine, order materials, set up all the tooling, load and run the jobs, do QC on the finished pieces, crate them and load the trucks with the finished work. Same thing with most of the skilled trades. However, he’d need a lot more floor space for maneuver paths for the robots.

We use those bar style for roughing and finishing, but I don't think they hold up as well as the older style finish bars But our bars get used hard. And I always make my adjustments in the tool setter But it would be great not having to take the bar out to make the adjustments

[@MisterHPI]

If trying to hold a close tolerance AND make the best possible finish, is it still normal practice to bore through the part then feed back out again? Doesn't the tip of the insert cut more material on the way up and/or compromise the finish you produced on the way down?

[@sangeenshahkhan]

You can also use a dial gage on the cutting edge of the boring head to measure for the backlash. 1, Set your boring head. 2, cut a test whole and measure the whole for actual cut settings. 3, set a dial gage on the cutting bar3, 4, final set the boring head and make sure the dial gage readings confirm the radius you are dealing in on the boring head. I know its cumbersome but certainly doable without breaking the bank.

[@Revilokab]

When using a boring head in a CNC machine how does the retract work.? Do you just feed it out? I would think it would take a small spring pass cut on the way out then. Probably bad for the finish and could introduce chatter. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

[@jetfire5991]

Most CNC mills have monitored spindle orientation, so you can easily just tell the machine to stop the tool, set the spindle to a preset orientation, move the cutting edge 0.1mm away from the bore diameter and retract in rapid. We got a ~30 year old cnc mill with a sub-routine for that out of the box, where we just tell it how deep to bore with a parameter and all we have to do beforehand is mount the boring head in the right orientation

[@Revilokab]

@@jetfire5991 Ok thanks. That makes sense. I’ve been curious about this for a while. I thought I saw at one point in the video the tool spinning as it came out. It may of even been on the finish pass.

[@jetfire5991]

@@Revilokab it might have been, since a spring pass is just a result of tool deflection. That boring head they're using in the video looks really rigid, and they are only removing like ~0.1mm each side, so I imagine that spring pass that would happen to be next to non-existent. I'm just speaking from my experience, since we're usually trying to hit the dimension with a single pass to save on cycle time, and depending on the material, that spring pass for us could make a difference of 0.01mm in mild steel (~0.0005") or 0.05mm in stainless (~0.002"), so we're usually using the routine for pulling away to avoid that.

[@pablov9212]

subroutines are great, but most newer machines have a handful of canned cycles just for boring. writing a subroutine would have the same result. IIRC, theres a cycle to orient the spindle and retract a spscific distance in I and J, dwell at the bottom and feed out, feed in and feed out at different rates, feed in and rapid out maybe? probably for spring loaded tools on the rapid out. it's been a while for me, so I don't know them off hand. as with mosy things, it always depends on the job. is it a short run of one offs? are you trying to shave seconds off a production cycle that rapid is worth risking? is there a surface finish callout? maybe they want a cross hatch on the cylinder walls that an abrasive will touch up minor scuffs afterwards. have pride in your work, but make sure you're not doing unnecessary work for free.

[@jtrent3960]

LMAO elderly like Barry.. wish I could come from KY and show you the old man luck lol. Great video and great work guys

[@ArikaStack]

The problem with using a presenter to set boring bars, in my experience, is that the presenter doesn't measure the tool as it's cutting with the cutting pressure on it. I normally go .002 undersize to be safe and then work my way up. More for sub .0005 tolerances. Also, alot of boring bar adjustment is in how you tighten the set screw. Everyone has their own way. Kaiserheads aren't as bad but in my shop I rarely see them. Also spring passes. The nice thing is once a boring bar is dialed, it's dialed. The digital gauge would help with adjusting it though. You can note where your original adjustment left you and comp for your spring pass on the current and your first pass on future parts separately.

I could tell he was trying to hold back a smile when the size right off the presetter would have put the part in tolerance. Of course, you don't go straight to size with your presetter, but in this case he totally could have.

[@advil000]

It's not that simple exactly. If you already know what material you are boring, and you already know how much stock you are leaving, and you know what the setting needs to be with a certain amount of stock left to have just the right amount of tool pressure... then sure you could offset the number straight from the tool presetter and hit it bang on (Can I justify one of those for my garage? LOL). But that requires the exact thing these tools are meant to fix: You need a specific operator who knows the quirks of the specific tool in a specific material and knows what voodoo numbers to use for a particular job. That's all well and good and in a small shop environment it can work, but not ideal when you need 20 different people to be able to knock out a new random part out of a random material and hit the tolerance the first time.

Maybe a little thing for automation. you are printing a label from the measuring machine. Then manually typing in that data on the label. Why not just have the measuring machine print a barcode 1D or 2D and then have a scanner on the mill, to scan said data in. This way you can't make a mistake in typing in said data from the tool

That's certainly a debatable topic when it comes to buying machinines) We set boring tools the old fashioned way... On the surface plate, sweeping the insert to find the high, and adjusting accordingly or in our optical comparator(

Yeah, I sometimes resort to honing, lapping or ballizing when I'm just under a very tight tolerance band.

Can you show us, what happens, if you dont pop it off!?

[@lakersboy8248]

Dont forget to take the backlash off

I want to buy this just to somehow adapt it to work with my clapped out knee mill.

sandvik have motorized boring head, you can control it by your smartphone.

There is no affordable tool presetter out there.. A small shop with a small budget is not going to be able to afford one....

A magnetic back dial is just as accurate for setting cuts and probably about 25,000 dollars cheaper 😂😂😂😂
