Stylus cutting process
The stylus cutting process is an important method in surface technology that is used for the precise processing of workpieces. In contrast to other cutting methods, the cut is made gradually and in a controlled manner, which enables more precise and gentle processing.
The process begins with the selection of a suitable tool, such as a milling cutter or turning tool, which is suitable for the material to be machined. The tool is then gently guided to the surface of the workpiece and makes incremental cuts, removing only a small amount of material each time.
This step-by-step approach allows manufacturers to ensure precise control over the machining process. This is particularly important when manufacturing components with tight tolerances or complex geometries. The stylus cutting process also minimizes the risk of damage to the workpiece and ensures better surface quality.
Another advantage of the stylus process in surface technology is its versatility. It can be applied to a wide range of materials and workpieces, from metals to plastics and composites. This makes it a preferred method in various industries, including the automotive, aerospace and engineering industries.
Overall, the stylus process in surface technology offers a precise and gentle method of machining workpieces. By using this process correctly, manufacturers can produce high-quality products that meet their customers' requirements.
