I. Diagnosis and Countermeasures for the Top 10 CNC Machining Issues
1. Workpiece Over-Cutting Issue
Phenomenon Analysis
1): Tool elastic deformation causing machining deviation
2): Inconsistent execution of operating standards
3): Uneven material allowance distribution (Sidewall: 0.5mm / Bottom: 0.15mm)
4): Improper cutting parameter settings
Professional Solutions
➊: Three key principles for tool selection: Larger diameter > Shorter cutting
length > Higher rigidity
➋: Add corner cleaning processes to maintain uniform material allowance
on sidewalls and bottom surfaces
➌: Key parameter adjustments:
Reduce tolerance range to ±0.02mm
Add R0.5 fillet at corners
Enable SF adaptive feed rate function
2. Coordinate System Calibration Errors
