Challenges in Scroll Compressor Component Machining
In scroll compressor operation, compressed air generation relies on the precise orbital motion of dynamic scroll disks interacting with static counterparts. This demanding process requires exceptional machining accuracy with critical parameters including:
- Surface finish requirements: Ra ≤ 0.4μm
- Verticality tolerance: ≤ 0.005mm
- Scroll groove depth: <25mm
- Profile accuracy: ±0.01mm
These stringent specifications necessitate specialized PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) cutting tools capable of maintaining dimensional stability during thin-wall machining of silicon aluminum alloys.
