MILLING PROCEDURE ASSISTED BY THERMAL CONTRIBUTION THROUGH PLASMA TORCH AND COUPLING DEVICE FROM THE TORCH TO THE MILLING SPINDLE.

摘要

Milling procedure assisted by thermal input by means of plasma torch and device of coupling of the torch to the spindle of the milling machine. It consists of the combination of a conventional milling process carried out by a milling machine (7) with a commercial-type plasma generator system equipped with a torch (1) that expels ionized gas at a very high temperature. The gas in a plasma state and at a very high temperature impacts the piece (9) that will be machined just before being attacked by the edges of the milling cutter (11), in a continuous movement of the torch and milling cutter at the speed of scheduled advance The heated zone (24) is approximately circular, and it is eliminated moments later by the milling cutter, in this way the milling cutter attacks a locally heated material to a very high temperature, which makes its transformation into chips and elimination much easier.
