Product design and development of the cutting tools complete set

Abstract

This research is to study the cutting tools product in reverse engineering for turning, milling, and drilling included Tool holder, Arbor and Insert tool. It is sampled the imported cutting tools from three areas worldwide composed with Sweden, United State of America and Japan. The study emphasis in Arbor 136 mm. (6 tooth), Arbor 63 mm. (4 tooth), the changeable Insert tool typeTool bolder 20 mm., and Tool holder for turning. The result is found that Tool holder materials has the mixture of 0.387-0.437 %C, hardness is 39.36-53 HRC which was full hardening. The price of Arbor (6 tooth), surveyed from four brands, maximum is 22,350 Baht and 2.41 times of price differentiation. The price of Arbor (4 tooth), surveyed from two brands, maximum is 19,000 Baht and 0.1-0.5 times of price differentiation. The price of Tool holder, surveyed from three brands, maximum is 14,300 Baht and 0.15-0.55 times of price differentiation. And the price of Tool Holder for turning, surveyed from four brands, maximum is 1900 Baht and 0.5-1 times of price differentiation. The provider set up Tool holder and Insert tools will not be compatible together for marketing strategy. There are not much key player providers, so there is no strong competition. The provider forces to distribute a set of 10 Insert tools, and the most of Tool holder is Hardening and quenching not less than 39 HRC. The metal removal might be necessary use high technology and precision CNC Milling Machine. Therefore, the study will lead to design and produce the prototype of cutting tools complete set which is compatible with Insert tools in all processes for turning, milling, and drilling. This cutting tools complete set differentiates from others, because it helps to reduce costs, reduce times and work comfortable. The development of compatible cutting tools complete set is the approach to reduce costs and times of work, decrease maintenance costs, and it will be the foundation to development of multi-function cutting tools complete set in place of the imported cutting tools.
