Even if a shape appears to be feasible on a drawing, there are various constraints in the actual machining environment. Machining must be accomplished using the existing equipment and tools, such as machine tools, cutting tools, fixation methods, and measurement methods.
For example, if there is a small inner radius in a deep pocket shape, a long and narrow tool will need to be used, which significantly increases the difficulty of machining due to vibrations and tool deflection. Additionally, with special shapes, the fixation method itself can become a challenge, sometimes requiring the fabrication of dedicated jigs.
Deburring and measurement after machining are also important. Depending on the shape, hand tools and measuring instruments may not be able to reach, making finishing and inspection difficult even if machining is possible. Therefore, in the machining environment, processes are considered with points such as "Can the tool fit?", "Can it be fixed?", and "Can it be measured?".
Furthermore, as contact with tools and jigs increases, the risk of scratches, dents, and distortions also rises. Therefore, we are considering machining methods that can achieve stable quality with minimal contact.
Taking into account these constraints that are not visible from the drawings, assembling processes to continuously deliver products with stable quality is also one of the important tasks in the machining environment.
