Case Study
Diamond Knurling Operation on CNC Lathe
2018-04-26

As mentioned previously in "Cross Knurling Profile DIN 82-RGV", knurling is a manufacturing process to f
like lines or pattern onto the CNC components. Usually, we use DIN 82 knurling specification standard fo
knurling is required, we shall use DIN 82-RGE which is featured with diamond-like 30° cross male knur
which is featured with cross knurling pattern as an alternative for customized purpose.    

Case Study for Diamond Knurling  

Recently, one of our customers turned to us because of their oversized parts. The overall length of this
between 183.10 ~ 183.20 mm. However, our customer found the total length of some parts was up to 183
We then discussed with our customers and analyzed that the root cause was diamond knurling.

According to the shaft photo above, slight plastic deformation happened at the knurled end. Generally spe

 Total length of some parts was beyond the tolerance.  

How We Solve The Oversize Situation?

As for the increase of the total length, it also resulted from knurling. To solve this problem, we decided
tolerance, let's say 183.10 mm. After the shafts were knurled at one end, the total length did slightly inc
According to our machining experience, the increase of total length should be less than 0.05 mm. In summ
solutions as below:  

1.) precisely remove the extra length at the knurled end.  

2.) chamfer the knurled end to remove the extra length.

 

Besides, according to ISO-2768mK(*Ref.1), the tolerance of such length should be +/-0.50 mm. So, the to
actually brought much more difficulties for the manufacturing process. All in all, if you have relevant inqu
drawings first  for technical discussions. Through the discussions, we can find a way to bridge your design
and we will turn your design into a real part perfectly!
