Why You Should Use CNC Machines?

CNC machine tool is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. The CNC control system can logically process a program with a control code or other symbolic instructions, decode it, express it with coded numbers, and input it into the numerical control device through an information carrier. After arithmetic processing, the numerical control device sends out various control signals to control the action of the machine tool, and automatically process the parts according to the shape and size required by the drawing.

CNC machine tool solves the processing problems of complex, precise, small batch and multi variety parts. It is a flexible and efficient automatic machine tool. It represents the development direction of modern machine tool control technology and is a typical mechatronics product.

CNC machining refers to the machining with CNC machining tools. CNC index control machine tool is programmed and controlled by NC machining language, usually G code. NC machining G code language tells the NC machine tool what Cartesian position coordinates to use, and controls the feed speed and spindle speed of the tool, as well as the functions of tool converter and coolant. General CNC machining usually refers to precision machining, CNC machining lathe, CNC machining milling machine, CNC machining boring and milling machine, etc.

The advantages of CNC machines

1. The number of tooling is greatly reduced, and complex tooling is not required for processing parts with complex shapes. If you want to change the shape and size of the part, you only need to modify the part processing program, which is suitable for new product development and modification.

2. The processing quality is stable, the processing accuracy is high, and the repeat accuracy is high, which is suitable for the processing requirements of aircraft.

3. The production efficiency is higher in the case of multi-variety and small-batch production, which can reduce the time of production preparation, machine tool adjustment and process inspection, and reduce the cutting time due to the use of the best cutting amount.

4. It can process complex profiles that are difficult to process by conventional methods, and even process some unobservable processing parts.

5. The processing quality is stable and reliable. When processing the same batch of parts, on the same machine tool, under the same processing conditions, using the same tool and processing procedure, the cutting path of the tool is exactly the same, the consistency of the parts is good, and the quality is stable.

6. Multi-coordinate linkage can be carried out, and parts with complex shapes can be processed.

7. When machining parts change, generally only need to change the NC program, which can save production preparation time.

8. The machine tool itself has high precision and high rigidity, can choose favorable processing dosage, and has high productivity (generally 3 to 5 times that of ordinary machine tools).

9. Improve working conditions. After the CNC machine tool is adjusted before processing, enter the program and start it, and the machine tool can automatically and continuously perform processing until the end of the processing. What the operator has to do is program input, editing, parts loading and unloading, tool preparation, machining state observation, and parts inspection. The labor intensity is greatly reduced, and the labor of machine tool operators tends to be intellectual work. In addition, machine tools are generally combined, which is both clean and safe.

10. Utilize production management modernization. The processing of CNC machine tools can accurately estimate the processing time in advance, standardize and modernize the tools and fixtures used, and it is easy to realize the standardization of processing information. It has been organically combined with computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). It is the foundation of modern integrated manufacturing technology.
