CNC lathe equipment, automatic lathes equipped with program control systems. The control system can use control code or other symbolic instructions to logically process and decode the program, represent the program with encoded numbers, and input the program into the CNC equipment through information carriers.
Precision CNC lathe
CNC lathes, with their high precision and efficiency, are suitable for processing small batches and various complex parts, and have achieved good economic benefits in large-scale production of complex parts. They have been widely used in mechanical processing. Compared with the traditional lathe industry, CNC lathes have the following characteristics:
1. Strong adaptability
When machining a new workpiece on a CNC lathe, it is only necessary to rewrite the machining program for the new workpiece to achieve the machining of the new workpiece, without the need to make a batch of fixtures or repeatedly adjust the lathe. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for processing new products with single pieces, small batches, and trial production workpieces. For precision and complex parts that are difficult to machine with ordinary lathes, CNC lathes can also achieve automated processing.
2. High machining accuracy
CNC lathes can achieve high machining accuracy by following numerical instructions for machining. At present, the machining positioning accuracy of CNC lathes is generally as high as 0.03MM, and the repeated positioning accuracy is 0.01MM. Some high-end CNC lathe manufacturers can even refine it to 0.003MM, such as Taiqun precision machine tools. In addition, the drive system and lathe structure of CNC lathes have high rigidity, high thermal stability, and manufacturing accuracy. The automatic processing mode of CNC lathes avoids human interference factors. The size of parts in the same batch is consistent, the product qualification rate is high, and the processing quality is very stable.
3. High production efficiency
The adjustment range of the main oil speed and feed speed of a CNC lathe is larger than that of a regular lathe, so favorable Z cutting parameters can be selected for each process of the CNC lathe. From rapid movement to stop, adopting acceleration and deceleration measures not only improves movement speed but also ensures positioning accuracy, effectively reducing maneuvering time.
4. Automation is beneficial for production management
CNC lathes can accurately calculate the single working time of products, arrange production reasonably, use digital information and standard codes for processing and control, effectively simplify the information transmission between inspection, fixtures, and semi-finished products, and create necessary conditions for the automation of the production process.
