Außenfräsens

Außenfräsens, also known as external milling, is a machining process used to remove material from the outer surface of a workpiece. This is typically achieved using a rotating cutting tool that moves along or around the object being machined. The cutting tool, often a milling cutter with multiple teeth, is held in a spindle that rotates at a controlled speed. The workpiece can be stationary or rotated, depending on the specific application. The relative motion between the cutter and the workpiece creates chips, which are then cleared away. Außenfräsens is employed to create various external features such as flat surfaces, grooves, slots, and complex contours. It is a versatile process used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, for producing parts with precise dimensions and desired surface finishes. The choice of milling cutter, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut are critical parameters that influence the efficiency and quality of the operation.
