Introduction to CNC Lathe
It is mainly used for the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft parts or disc parts, the inner and outer conical surfaces of any cone angle, the complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces and cylinders, and the cutting of conical threads. It can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, and reaming. Hole and boring etc.
The CNC machine tool automatically processes the processed parts according to the pre-prepared processing program.
We compile the machining process route, process parameters, tool motion trajectory, displacement, cutting parameters, and auxiliary functions of the part into a machining program list according to the instruction code and program format specified by the CNC machine tool, and then record the contents of the program list On the control medium, it is then input to the numerical control device of the numerical control machine tool to manipulate the machine tool to process parts.
Numerical control (abbreviated as NC) technology refers to the use of digital instructions composed of numbers, characters, and symbols to achieve the control of one or more mechanical equipment.
Numerical control generally uses general-purpose or special-purpose computers to realize digital program control. Therefore, numerical control is also called computer numerical control, or CNC for short.
It is generally called CNC, and the concept of NC is rarely used. What it controls is usually the position, angle, speed, and other mechanical quantities and the switch quantity related to the flow of mechanical energy.
The generation of numerical control depends on the appearance of data carriers and binary data operations. In 1908, a perforated metal exchange data carrier came out; at the end of the 19th century, a control system with paper as a data carrier and auxiliary functions was invented;
In 1938, Shannon carried out rapid data calculation and transmission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.
Modern computers, including the basis of computer digital control systems. The numerical control technology is closely integrated with machine tool control. . In 1952, the first CNC machine tool came out, which became an epoch-making event in the history of the world machinery industry and promoted the development of automation.
The numerical control technology is also called computer numerical control technology, it is the technology that uses computers to realize digital program control. This technology uses a computer to perform a step-by-step logical control function on the movement track of the device and the operation of the peripherals according to a preset control program.
By using a computer to replace the original numerical control device composed of hardware logic circuits, the storage, processing, calculation, logical judgment and other control functions of the input operation instructions can be realized by computer software, and the microscopic instructions generated by the processing are transmitted to the servo The driving device drives the motor or hydraulic actuator to drive the equipment to run.
Traditional mechanical processing is performed by the manual operation of ordinary machine tools. During processing, the machine tool is manually shaken to cut metal, and the accuracy of the product is measured by the eye with tools such as calipers.
Modern industry has already used computer digitally controlled machine tools for operations. CNC machine tools can automatically process any products and parts directly in accordance with the programs pre-programmed by technicians.
This is what we call CNC machining. CNC machining is widely used in any field of all mechanical machining, and it is the development trend and important and necessary technical means of mold machining.
CNC lathes, also known as CNC lathes, are computer numerically controlled lathes. They are the most widely used and covered CNC machine tools in China, accounting for about 25% of the total number of CNC machine tools.
CNC machine tools are mechatronics products that integrate mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, microelectronics, and information technologies. It is a machine tool with high precision, high efficiency, high automation, and high flexibility in mechanical manufacturing equipment.
The technical level of CNC machine tools is one of the main types of CNC machine tools in metal CNC machine tools. It occupies a very important position in CNC machine tools. Therefore, the volume of cutting machine tools and the percentage of total ownership is a country's national economy.
One of the important signs of development and the overall level of industrial manufacturing. For decades, it has been universally recognized by countries all over the world and has been rapidly developed.
Since the advent of CNC lathes in the 1950s, due to the use of CNC lathes to process complex-shaped parts in single-piece production and small batch production, instead of improving labor productivity and processing quality, it also shortens the production preparation cycle and reduces the need for workers.
Technical proficiency requirements. Therefore, it has become an important development direction for the realization of technological innovation and technological revolution in single-piece, small-batch production. Countries around the world are also vigorously developing this new technology.
We know that for mass-produced parts, the use of automated and semi-automated lathes can already automate the production process. However, for single-piece, small-batch production parts, achieving automation has always been a problem.
In the past quite a long time, it has always been unable to solve it satisfactorily. Especially for parts with complex shapes and high machining accuracy requirements, they have been at a standstill on the road to automation.
Although some application profiling devices have solved part of it, the practice has proved that profiling lathes still cannot completely solve this problem.
The emergence of CNC lathes (machine tools) has opened up a broad way to fundamentally solve this problem, so it has become an important development direction in mechanical processing.
