The operation and monitoring of CNC machine tools are all completed in this CNC unit, which is the brain of CNC machine tools. Compared with ordinary machine tools, CNC machine tools have the following characteristics:
1, strong adaptability to the processing object, adapt to the characteristics of single production of molds and other products, provide a suitable processing method for the manufacture of molds;
2, high processing precision, with stable processing quality;
3, can carry out multi-coordinate linkage, can process complex shape parts;
4, machining parts change, generally only need to change the numerical control program, can save production preparation time;
5, the machine itself has high precision, large rigidity, can choose favorable processing amount, high productivity (generally 3 to 5 times of ordinary machine tools);
6, high degree of machine automation, can reduce labor intensity;
7, conducive to the modernization of production management. Numerical control machine tool uses digital information and standard code to process and transmit information, and uses computer control method, which lays a foundation for the integration of computer aided design, manufacturing and management.
8, higher requirements for the quality of operators, higher technical requirements for maintenance personnel;
9, high reliability.
Compared with traditional machine tools, CNC machine tools have the following characteristics.
1, with high flexibility
Machining parts on CNC machine tools, mainly depends on the processing program, it is different from ordinary machine tools, do not have to manufacture, replace many molds, fixtures, do not need to often readjust the machine tool. Therefore, the CNC machine tool is suitable for the frequent replacement of the parts processed, that is, for the production of single, small batch products and the development of new products, thus shortening the production preparation cycle and saving a lot of process equipment costs.
2, high processing precision
CNC machine tool processing accuracy is generally up to 0.05-0.1mm, CNC machine tool is controlled in the form of digital signal, CNC device each output pulse signal, the moving parts of the machine tool move a pulse equivalent (generally 0.001mm), and the machine feed transmission chain reverse clearance and screw pitch average error can be compensated by the CNC device march, therefore, CNC machine tool positioning accuracy is relatively high.
3. Stable and reliable processing quality
Processing the same batch of parts, in the same machine tool, under the same processing conditions, using the same tool and processing program, the tool path is exactly the same, the consistency of the parts is good, and the quality is stable.
4, high productivity
CNC machine tool can effectively reduce the processing time and auxiliary time of parts, CNC machine tool spindle sound speed and feed range is large, allowing the machine tool to carry out large cutting amount of strong cutting. CNC machine tools are entering the era of high-speed processing, CNC machine tool moving parts of the rapid movement and positioning and high-speed cutting processing, greatly improve productivity. In addition, combined with the tool library of the machining center, continuous processing of multiple processes can be realized on a single machine tool, reducing the turnover time between processes of semi-finished products and improving productivity.
5. Improve working conditions
CNC machine tool is adjusted before processing, input the program and start, the machine tool can be automatically and continuously processed until the end of processing. What the operator has to do is only the input of the program, editing, parts loading and unloading, tool preparation, observation of the processing state, inspection of parts, etc., the labor intensity is greatly reduced, and the labor of the machine tool operator tends to be intellectual work. In addition, the machine tool is generally combined, both clean and safe.
6, the use of production management modernization
The processing of CNC machine tools can accurately estimate the processing time in advance, the tool and fixture used can be standardized, modern management, easy to achieve the standardization of processing information, has been organically combined with computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), is the basis of modern integrated manufacturing technology.
