Method and system for recognizing deburring trajectory

A method for recognizing a deburring trajectory, relevant to be performed by a controller or a computer, includes the steps of: according to a process flow of a workpiece, analyzing a CAD file of the workpiece, determining a burr processing area and obtaining a mathematical model of boundary contour curve; applying a linear contour sensor to scan the workpiece to obtain contour section information of the workpiece; performing curve fitting upon the contour section information of the workpiece and the mathematical model of boundary contour curve so as to obtain a boundary curve function; and, utilizing the boundary curve function to determine deburring position information of the workpiece and to further generate a processing path. In addition, a system for recognizing a deburring trajectory is also provided.

Rotary tool for lower receiver manufacturing

A rotary tool can be adapted for removing material from a workpiece such as a lower receiver. A rotary tool can have an adapter with a major diameter, and a cutter head with a minor diameter. The major diameter of the adapter can reduce deflection and chatter, while the minor diameter of the cutter head can be used to manufacture lower receivers with accuracy. The rotary tool can be adapted to be engaged with a rotary power tool.

DUAL BLADE CONFIGURATION FOR WAFER EDGE TRIMMING PROCESS
20230373018 · 2023-11-23 ·

In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method that includes bonding a first wafer to a second wafer to form a wafer stack and removing a top portion of the second wafer. A first trim blade having a first blade width is aligned over the second wafer. The first trim blade is used to form a trench that separates a central portion of the second wafer from a peripheral portion of the second wafer. The trench is arranged at a first distance from an outer perimeter of the second wafer, and extends from a top surface of the second wafer to a trench depth beneath the top surface of the first wafer. A second trim blade having a second blade width is aligned over the peripheral portion, the second blade width being greater than the first blade width. The peripheral portion is removed using the second trim blade.

Method of machining an opening in a plurality of blanks

A method and a system are disclosed for making an article of manufacture from a blank defining an internal opening. A stack of blanks are aligned and the internal openings of the blanks in the stack of blanks are machined by a rotary cutting tool to a finished dimension. The blanks are clamped together before machining in a numerically controlled machine tool. The blanks are subsequently formed individually in a sheet metal forming operation in which the inner perimeter of the internal openings is expanded as the blank is formed.
