A Brief Discussion on the Six Key Points of CNC Machining Factories
Do you know the six key points of CNC machining factories? Next, a CNC machining manufacturer will briefly introduce the six key points for you.
In the machining process of a CNC machining center (generally, CNC machining refers to computer numerically controlled precision machining, including CNC machining lathes, CNC machining milling machines, CNC machining boring and milling machines, etc.), one point is critical — when programming and operating the machine, it is absolutely necessary to prevent the CNC machining center from experiencing collisions. Since CNC machining centers are very expensive, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan, repair is difficult and costly. However, collisions follow certain patterns and can be avoided, mainly by paying attention to the following points.
1. Use the lock function of the CNC machining center
General CNC machining centers are equipped with a lock function (full lock or single-axis lock). After entering the program, lock the Z-axis, and use the Z-axis coordinate value to determine whether a collision will occur. The use of this function should avoid operations such as tool changes, otherwise the program will not be able to run through.
2. The setup of the coordinate system and tool compensation must be correct
When starting up a CNC machining center, it is essential to set the reference point. The workpiece coordinate system must be consistent with the programming, especially in the Z-axis direction; if incorrect, the possibility of the milling cutter colliding with the workpiece is very high. In addition, the tool length compensation setting must be correct, otherwise, either idle cutting or a collision will occur.
3. Improve programming techniques
Program preparation is a crucial part of CNC machining. Improving programming skills can largely prevent some unnecessary collisions.
The above content is part of the six key points of CNC machining factories. We hope it can be helpful to you.
