CNC lathe is one of the most widely used CNC machine tools.
Increased Efficiency: CNC lathe machines have made the process of producing parts more efficient. With their computerized controls, they can operate 24/7 without human intervention, ensuring that the production process is continuous and uninterrupted.
It is mainly used for cutting inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft parts or disc parts, inner and outer conical surfaces of arbitrary taper angles, complex rotary inner and outer curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads, and can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, reaming and boring, etc.
Preliminary preparation
Determine the process requirements of typical parts, the batch of workpieces to be processed, and formulate the functions that CNC lathes should have. It is a prerequisite for making preliminary preparations and rationally selecting CNC lathes: meeting the process requirements of typical parts.
The process requirements of typical parts are mainly the structural dimensions, processing range and precision requirements of the parts. According to the precision requirements, that is, the dimensional accuracy, positioning accuracy and surface roughness requirements of the workpiece, the control accuracy of the CNC lathe is selected. According to the reliability, reliability is the guarantee for improving product quality and production efficiency. The reliability of CNC machine tools refers to the long-term stable operation of the machine tool without failure when it performs its functions under specified conditions. That is, the average time between failures is long, and even if a failure occurs, it can be restored in a short time and put back into use. Choose a machine tool with a reasonable structure, good manufacturing, and mass production. Generally, the more users, the higher the reliability of the CNC system.
Machine tool accessories and tools
Machine tool accessories, spare parts and their supply capabilities, and tools are very important for CNC lathes and turning centers that have been put into production. When selecting a machine tool, you need to carefully consider the matching of tools and accessories.
Choose based on performance-price ratio
Make sure that functions and precision are not idle or wasted, and do not choose functions that are irrelevant to your needs.
Machine tool protection
When necessary, the machine tool can be equipped with fully enclosed or semi-enclosed protective devices and automatic chip removal devices.
When choosing a CNC lathe or turning center, the above principles should be considered comprehensively.
CNC machine tool is the abbreviation of digital control machine tool, which is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. The control system can logically process programs specified by control codes or other symbolic instructions, and decode them, so that the machine tool can move and process parts. Compared with ordinary machine tools, CNC machine tools have the following characteristics:
● High processing accuracy and stable processing quality;
● Multi-coordinate linkage can be performed, and parts with complex shapes can be processed;
● When the processed parts are changed, generally only the CNC program needs to be changed, which can save production preparation time;
● The machine tool itself has high precision and high rigidity, and can choose favorable processing dosage, with high productivity (generally 3 to 5 times that of ordinary machine tools);
● The machine tool has a high degree of automation, which can reduce labor intensity;
● The quality requirements for operators are high, and the technical requirements for maintenance personnel are even higher.
