What is Granulator Cutter Many people may have seen it but haven't heard of it, and may not know what it is. A granulator cutter is a specialized tool, a gear machining tool with teeth arranged in a cylindrical or conical helix along the edge. It is used to machine cylindrical gears, worm gears, and other cylindrical gear workpieces using the generating method (see gear machining and gears). Depending on the application, cutters are divided into gear cutters, worm cutters, non-involute generating cutters, and custom cutters.

　　1. Influence of Cutting Clearance: The so-called cutting clearance is the gap between the moving knife and the fixed knife. Within a certain range, the larger the cutting clearance, the smaller the cutting force required; conversely, the cutting force is large, and the tool wear is also large. When the clearance approaches zero, the cutting force becomes quite large, until the strength of the cutting edge cannot withstand it and breaks. However, if the clearance is too large, the quality of the slices will be significantly affected. Therefore, the cutting clearance must be reasonably selected in production. According to experience, the cutting clearance is controlled between 0.03-0.04mm, which can ensure a certain cutting force and obtain qualified slices.

　　2. Influence of Softened Water: In the process of ball making, softened water is essential. It not only cools the casting belt conveying materials, but also has a certain impact on the use of tools. Softened water can promptly remove the heat generated during cutting, reduce the tool wear rate, and play a certain lubricating role. Without softened water, heat dissipation is slow, and tool wear will accelerate. However, excessive softened water will hinder tool operation and slicing, leading to increased noise and cutting losses. At the same time, softened water will also enter the mechanical transmission part. The purity of desalted water also has a great impact on the tool. The solid impurities in desalted water wear the tool very quickly. Therefore, the effect of desalted water in the cutting process has both advantages and disadvantages, and it should be strictly controlled in actual production.
