Abstract : This paper introduces the characteristics and applications of high-speed cutting, and focuses on analyzing the key equipment in high-speed cutting—high-speed cutting machine tools. Keywords : High-speed cutting, electric spindle, linear motor. High-speed cutting is a rapidly developing high-tech process characterized by high speed, high precision, and large feed rate. High-speed cutting can significantly improve machining efficiency, reduce machining costs, and improve the surface quality and accuracy of machined parts. High-speed cutting is widely used in aerospace, mold industry, and automotive industry. High-speed cutting technology is a comprehensive high-tech field, encompassing: tool technology (tool materials, tool clamping devices), machine tool design technology (machine tool structure, spindle structure, guideway design, cooling treatment, chip removal technology), and CNC system technology (CNC control systems adapted to high-speed cutting equipment) . I. Concept, Characteristics, and Applications of High-Speed Cutting High-speed cutting is a relative concept, relative to conventional cutting. Different machining methods and different workpiece materials have different high-speed cutting ranges. Generally, the cutting speed range for high-speed machining of various materials is considered to be: aluminum alloys reach 2000-7500 m/min; cast iron 900-5000 m/min; steel 600-3000 m/min; ultra-heat resistant nickel alloys up to 500 m/min; titanium alloys 150-1000 m/min; and fiber-reinforced plastics 2000-9000 m/min. The cutting speed range for various manufacturing and processing steps is: turning 700-7000 m/min; milling 300-6000 m/min; drilling 200-1100 m/min; and grinding above 150 m/s. As an advanced cutting technology, high-speed cutting has the following important characteristics compared with conventional cutting: (1) It has low energy consumption for removing a unit of material and high cutting efficiency, which greatly improves the utilization rate of energy and equipment. It has been reported that the material removal rate per unit time can be increased by 3 to 5 times. (2) High surface quality and precision, making it suitable as the final machining process. The excitation frequency of the machine tool during high-speed cutting is far from its natural frequency, which often results in a "non-vibration" cutting state, thus achieving higher surface quality. (3) Minimal thermal deformation. During high-speed cutting, the extremely high feed rate means that a large amount of cutting heat is carried away by the chips before it can be transferred to the workpiece, resulting in less heat transfer and thus less workpiece temperature rise and deformation. Therefore, high-speed cutting is particularly suitable for machining materials and parts prone to deformation.
