I am explaining a major reason why processing CFRP is said to be very difficult. When I actually processed CFRP, I was surprised at how much more severe the tool wear was than I had imagined. Initially, I tried using a brand new uncoated tool for aluminum that was available in-house, and after exceeding 50mm, burrs, delamination, and separation occurred. I knew that wear was severe, but I did not expect it to wear out this quickly. I realized that as soon as the tool starts to wear even slightly, burrs, delamination, and fiber residue occur, affecting the finished surface. [Reasons] ■ Tool wear is extremely severe ■ When the tool is dull, it is easy for burrs, delamination, and fiber residue to occur *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This time, we present a machining case using "T700," a material also used in aircraft. The machining includes a pocket with a depth of 3mm on a 10mm thick plate, a φ6.35 drilling operation, and trimming processes. Unlike iron, the cutting tools wear out quickly, so if machining is done with even slightly dull tools, it can lead to delamination or a state where only the fibers remain. Through various prototypes and research on the differences in machining compared to iron, we were able to create a sample that does not experience delamination. [Overview (Surface)] ■ Material: T700 (thermosetting CFRP) ■ Dimensions: A/75mm B/100mm t/10mm ■ Drilling: φ6.375 ■ Pocket machining: 3mm ■ Trimming: 10mm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Even when it comes to reverse engineering, the way data is collected and output varies significantly depending on the intended use of the CAD data. Simply scanning does not guarantee perfect data; it is crucial to understand the characteristics of the machine and its intended use to create the data effectively. At Sawatec Co., Ltd., we utilize two facilities as needed to create the best data possible. Based on our experience in design, we measure the rough shape with scanning, then measure the hole positions with a three-dimensional measuring machine to output the coordinates. For areas that cannot be reached by scanning, we use the contour measurement of the three-dimensional measuring machine to obtain the shape. Our company leverages extensive experience and abundant equipment to provide satisfactory data to our customers. 【Measurement Examples】 < Hole Scanning > ■ Without making unreasonable corrections, we convert to CAD data + coordinates of holes in X, Y, Z, and φ ■ Contours and height data of areas that could not be captured by scanning Output contour data as IGS data *For more details, please refer to our catalog or feel free to contact us.

Comparison measurement using CAD with a "laser tracker" is a method of measuring the error between CAD data and the actual object by aligning them in software, and it is particularly useful for large molds and assembled products. Unlike 3D measurement, which measures coordinates from a reference point, comparison measurement uses CAD as the standard and measures how much it differs from there. Since the values change in real-time, errors can be identified while measuring. After processing, when examining the shape of the mold after polishing, using comparison measurement allows for much quicker identification of measurement results, leading to reduced measurement time and improved product assurance. 【Measurement Method】 ■ Prepare the CAD data to be used for comparison measurement ■ Confirm the origin of the CAD data 　↓ ■ Measure the reference axis, X-axis, and Y-axis to align the origin of the CAD data with the origin of the object being measured ■ Ensure that the CAD data and the object being measured align in the software 　↓ ■ If the coordinates match, measurement is possible simply by making contact with the measurement sphere on the object *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

When installing large equipment, it may not be too difficult if the ground where it is being installed is level with respect to gravity. However, achieving a level over a distance of 10 meters is very challenging. Especially in the food industry, the ground may be slightly sloped due to drainage issues. With a "laser tracker," it is possible to create a theoretically level plane, origin, and axes in software, allowing for the creation of three-dimensional coordinates and high-precision measurements. This enables the distances from the plane and the positions of reference shafts to be viewed numerically. Since adjustments can be made in real-time, it simplifies the adjustment process and helps prevent issues after installation.
