1. Characteristics of non-standard cutting heads:
Customized design
Parameters such as geometry, rake angle, number of blades, type, diameter, and length are customized according to customer requirements.
May be optimized for a specific process or type of part.
Suitable for special materials or working conditions
as difficult-to-machine materials like high-temperature alloys, composites, ceramics, glass, etc.
Or used in special scenarios such as high precision, efficiency, micro-machining, etc.
Non-standard interfaces or clamping methods
The shank or connection method may not be compatible with standard tools, requiring specialized fixtures machine tool adapters.
Longer development cycle and higher cost
Due to the need for separate mold making, prototyping, and testing, the unit price is usually higher that of standard tools.
2. Common application scenarios:
Aerospace components (such as turbine blades, casings)
Special machine processing of car engine blocks/
Precision orthopedic implants in medical devices
Curved surface machining of special shapes in the mold industry
Micro-hole drilling or PCB board cutting in the industry
