Computer Controlled Machining

Group assignment with Theo Gautier from Agrilab

Safety Training

• Always look the machine when it’s working !
• Protect your ears with a cask or some ear plug protection.
• Protect your eyes with glass.
• Keep a security distance between you and the machine
• Keep you finger above the “STOP” button just in case…

Machine Limits

We used a 6 mm 2 flutes mill:

We tested the dogbones :

We also tested the alignment on the X and Y axis, the dimensions respect and the speed diferences :

Internal and external Right Angle :

Conclusion :

• Be careful when machining !
• On X and Y you loose about 1.5mm with the 6mm milling tool.
• If you increase the speed it degrades more the material. If you want a smooth result prefere a cool speed.
• You can make external right angle but not internal.
