Machining method, program, machining-program generating program and machining apparatus of press die
Patent number: 8414231Abstract: A machining method of a press die having a pierce cutter and a secondary relief-clearance area recessed inward relative to a profile of the pierce cutter. A plunge cutting tool has an edge portion protruding from an outer circumference of a tool body and can carve while rotating and moving in an axial direction of the tool body. While rotating the plunge cutting tool with an axis of the tool body being approximately parallel to a surface of the pierce cutter, the plunge cutting tool is relatively moved along the profile of the pierce cutter. The plunge cutting tool is also relatively moved in the axial direction of the tool body along the shape of the pierce cutter and the secondary relief-clearance area in a piercing direction each time the plunge cutting tool is relatively moved by a predetermined pitch.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Toshiba Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouichi Katoh, Takamasa Itoh, Yoshiaki Mikami, Norihiro Miyazawa, Hirofumi Shinohara -

Machining method, program, machining-program generating program and machining apparatus of press die
Patent number: 8137038Abstract: A machining method of a press die having a pierce cutter and a secondary relief-clearance area recessed inward relative to a profile of the pierce cutter is provided. A plunge cutting tool having a tool body and at least one edge portion provided on an outer circumference of an end of the tool body is used, the edge portion being protruding from the outer circumference of the tool body and being capable of carving while rotating around an axis of the tool body and moving in an axial direction of the tool body. While rotating the plunge cutting tool with an axis of the tool body being approximately parallel to a surface of the pierce cutter, the plunge cutting tool is relatively moved along the profile of the pierce cutter. The plunge cutting tool is also relatively moved in the axial direction of the tool body along the shape of the pierce cutter and the secondary relief-clearance area in a piercing direction each time the plunge cutting tool is relatively moved by a predetermined pitch.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2008Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Toshiba Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouichi Katoh, Takamasa Itoh, Yoshiaki Mikami, Norihiro Miyazawa, Hirofumi Shinohara -
