Brass instrument key manufacturing and 400 high-quality wire-cut machine tool precision breakthrough
In the performance of brass instruments, every opening and closing of the keys determines the purity of the tone and the accuracy of the pitch. However, the manufacturing of keys faces a "millimeter-level" precision battle - micron-level tolerance, complex surface structure, material ductility control... How to achieve a technological leap in instrument manufacturing through 400 high-quality medium-speed wire cutting machine tools? This article will combine the actual combat cases of a leading instrument manufacturer to decipher the core difficulties of key processing and the innovative empowerment of Zhikai CNC.
1. The core processing requirements of brass instrument keys and the adaptation of wire-cut technology
The keys of brass instruments are the core components that control airflow and pitch. Their precision metal structures (such as linkage levers, micro shafts, special-shaped keycaps, etc.) must meet three core requirements:
1. Micron-level precision: The key hole position tolerance must be controlled within ≤±0.006mm to ensure the airtightness of the airflow channel and the sensitivity of the key response.
2. Complex geometric molding: Keycaps often need to be cut into curved surfaces or micro grooves. Traditional processing can easily cause burrs or deformation, affecting the playing feel.
3. Material adaptability: The keys are mostly made of brass or copper-nickel alloy. When cutting, micro cracks or stress deformation caused by the heat-affected zone should be avoided.
Case customer data: After a musical instrument manufacturer introduced Zhikai CNC 400 high-quality medium-speed wire-cut machine tools, the key processing efficiency increased by 25%, the key dimension qualification rate jumped from 85% to 98.7%, and the surface roughness stabilized at Ra≤0.7-1.4μm, helping its high-end musical instrument products to be exported to the European and American markets.
2. Technical difficulties in key processing and innovative solutions for wire-cut equipment
Difficulty 1: Stability control of thin-walled structures
The thickness of the linkage lever of the key is only 1.5-3mm, which is prone to warping due to stress release during processing. Zhikai's solution: adopt a segmented cutting strategy, reserve 0.02mm margin for the first rough processing, and then gradually eliminate internal stress through fine pulses (low current, high frequency), combined with an adaptive tension control system to ensure that the jitter amplitude of the molybdenum wire is ≤0.003mm.
Difficulty 2: Surface finish of special-shaped surfaces
The curved surface of the keycap needs to achieve a mirror effect, and traditional processes are prone to leaving cutting marks. Zhikai equipment dynamically adjusts the feed speed through intelligent frequency conversion tracking technology, and is matched with a special working fluid (Jiarun series) to achieve a surface roughness Ra≤0.7-1.4μm, comparable to the effect of slow wire cutting.
Difficulty 3: Positioning accuracy of multi-hole processing
The key shaft needs to be processed with 6-8 micro holes at the same time, and the hole pitch error directly affects the assembly accuracy. Zhikai uses high-rigidity roller guides and closed-loop feedback systems to ensure that the X/Y axis repeat positioning accuracy is ≤±0.003mm, and cooperates with the independently developed pulse power supply (clipped diode technology) to reduce the electrode wire loss by 20%.
3. Zhikai CNC's technology empowerment and industry application extension
Driven by the dual engines of "technology + service", Zhikai provides full-chain support for the musical instrument manufacturing industry:
- Independent research and development breakthrough: core components such as the guide wheel system and intelligent pulse power supply are all self-developed patents, which overcome the problem of precision attenuation during multiple cutting of medium wire and achieve accuracy of ≤±0.003mm after 5 consecutive trimmings.
- Full-cycle service guarantee: From equipment commissioning to process parameter package customization, we provide 24-hour remote diagnosis and on-site technical support, and the comprehensive utilization rate of customer equipment is increased to more than 95%.
- Cross-domain application cases: In addition to keys, Zhikai equipment has been successfully applied to the processing of complex parts such as the precision inner bore of the mute (sound-absorbing structure cutting error ≤ 0.03mm), the coating matrix of the mouthpiece (special-shaped contour one-time molding), etc., covering more than 90% of the core component needs of brass instruments.
