In manufacturing industry, guide wheels and subtractive manufacturing technology are two indispensable key fields. They not only play an important role in mechanical design, but also promote the efficiency and intelligence of industrial production. This paper will discuss the basic principle and application of guide wheel and the development of reducing material manufacturing technology, and analyze how they interact to promote the progress of mechanical engineering together.

1. The basic concept and application of guide wheel.

Guide wheel is a kind of rolling element used to guide, support or control moving parts. It is usually made of metal material, and its surface is precisely machined to ensure low friction and high wear resistance. Guide wheels are widely used in various mechanical equipment, such as automatic production lines, conveying systems, textile machinery and so on. Its main functions include:

Guidance: Ensure the moving parts move smoothly along the predetermined path.

Support: reduce the direct contact between moving parts and fixed structures and reduce wear.

Control: Improve the accuracy and stability of the equipment through precise position control.

2. The development of subtractive manufacturing technology

Subtractive manufacturing, also known as material removal manufacturing, refers to the process of removing excess parts from a complete piece of material by cutting, grinding and drilling, and finally forming the required shape. The traditional manufacturing methods of reducing materials include lathe machining, milling machine machining, planer machining and so on. With the development of numerical control technology (CNC), the material reduction manufacturing becomes more accurate and efficient.

In recent years, the manufacturing technology of subtractive materials has been continuously innovated, and a variety of advanced processing technologies have emerged, such as high-speed cutting, ultra-precision machining and laser cutting. These new technologies not only improve the production efficiency, but also significantly improve the quality and performance of products.

3. Combination of guide wheel and reducing material manufacturing

design and manufacturing process of guide wheel, the technology of reducing material plays a vital role. The following are several typical application scenarios:

Precision machining: the guide wheel requires extremely high surface smoothness and dimensional accuracy. By using CNC machining center for precision cutting, all the indexes of the guide wheel can be ensured to meet the design requirements.

Complex geometry: The guide wheel in some special applications may need complex geometry. Using advanced equipment such as five-axis linkage machine tools, complex surfaces can be accurately machined.

Material optimization: Choosing suitable materials and carrying out appropriate heat treatment is the key to ensure the performance of the guide wheel. Tool selection and parameter setting in the process of reducing material manufacturing directly affect the cutting effect and surface quality of materials.

4. Conclusion

Guide wheel and subtractive manufacturing technology complement each other in mechanical engineering and jointly promote the development of manufacturing industry. Through continuous technological innovation and process improvement, we can look forward to a more efficient and intelligent manufacturing system in the future, which will bring more convenience and development opportunities to the society.

In a word, as a key component in the mechanical system, the performance of the guide wheel directly affects the operating efficiency and reliability of the whole system. The material-reducing manufacturing technology provides strong support for the high-quality production and diversified application of guide wheels. The organic combination of the two not only enhances the competitiveness of products, but also opens up a new direction for future mechanical engineering research.
