Innovation Technology grip components industry: Knurling Process on cylindrical metal edges

This video showcases Innovation Technology in the fastener and grip components industry: The Knurling Process on cylindrical metal edges. We discuss how the CNC Lathe is used to press and form a uniform and consistent grip pattern (e.g., diamond pattern). This process operates automatically and guarantees high precision in the depth and shape of the knurling pattern.

The knurling process the formation of a textured pattern on a cylindrical surface is vital for increasing gripping power or serving as an aesthetic element. The Innovation Technology in the CNC Lathe ensures that the pressure and feed rate of the knurling tool (a hard wheel) are precisely controlled. This is crucial because knurling is a non-cutting shaping process (plastic deformation), and uneven pressure can damage the overall dimensional integrity of the cylinder. The resulting high precision generated by the CNC guarantees that every line of the pattern has a uniform depth, achieving an optimal finish.

So, how does this Innovation Technology work? The process begins after the cylindrical metal component has been turned and is ready for texturing. The operator loads the CNC Program that specifies the knurling pattern (pitch and angle). The machine then automatically advances the knurling tool to the workpiece surface. Unlike cutting, the knurling tool presses the material. The CNC System maintains a constant spindle speed and controls the tool's feed rate progressively. This automation of the cycle ensures that every knurled component is produced with identical consistency and grip quality.

Broadly speaking, the CNC Metal Knurling Lathe is an embodiment of innovation in functional surface processing. It is a technology that provides extraordinary capability to apply knurling to metal with unmatched speed, pattern depth, and precision. Its direct impact is on the ergonomics, reliable grip, and finish of high-precision components.
