What is a planer mainly used for processing?

1. The function and use of planer
A planer is a machine tool commonly used in metal and wood processing. It is mainly used to cut, grind and straighten the surface of materials to obtain a smoother surface and accurate dimensional measurements.

Automatic Wood Planer

In metal processing, planers can be used to process various surface shapes, such as planes, cylindrical surfaces, spherical surfaces, inclined surfaces, etc., and can process various parts, molds and tooling, etc., and are widely used in manufacturing industries such as automobiles, aircraft, ships, and machine tools. .
In wood processing, planers can be used to smooth the surface of wood and polish it into the required shape, providing the necessary tools and technical support for making furniture, doors, windows, building materials, etc.
2. Working principle and structure of planer
The working principle of the planer is to drive the main shaft to rotate through the transmission system, so that the tool can cut the workpiece with horizontal, longitudinal and vertical movement, thereby cutting the surface of the next layer of material and obtaining the required shape.
The structure of the planer includes a bed, spindle and transmission system, workbench and tool holder, etc. The bed is an integral casting structure with good rigidity and stability. The spindle and transmission system control the rotation and movement of the tool. The workbench and The tool holder is responsible for fixing the workpiece and tools.

3. Precautions for planer
Although the planer is one of the essential tools in machining, there are also some precautions that need to be followed during use:
1. Remember to wear protective gloves, goggles and other safety equipment to prevent accidental injuries.
2. Regularly inspect and maintain each component of the planer to ensure its normal operation and service life.
3. Use appropriate cutting tools and materials to perform reasonable cutting and processing according to different materials and shapes.
In short, as an important mechanical processing tool, the planer is widely used in the fields of metal and wood processing. Only by mastering its working principle and precautions can we better use the planer for processing and manufacturing.
