What is CNC Lathe?
Sep 03,2020
Numerical control lathe is also called CNC lathe,and it is one of the most widely used CNC machine tools.
CNC lathes are mainly used for cutting inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft parts or disc parts, inner and outer conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces and cylindrical, conical threads, etc., and can perform grooving, drilling, reaming, Reaming and boring, etc.
The CNC machine tool automatically processes the processed parts according to the pre-programmed 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 into the numerical control device of the numerical control machine tool to direct the machine tool to process parts.
Basic principle: refers to the use of Numbers, words and symbols composed of digital instructions to achieve one or more mechanical equipment movement control technology.It usually controls mechanical quantities such as position, Angle, velocity and switch quantities related to the flow direction of mechanical energy.
Basic tools: turning tool, divided into various specifications of internal and external round turning tool, internal and external tooth tool, kamei, drill, tap, reamer, etc.
Compared with ordinary machine tools, CNC Lathe have the following characteristics:
-
High processing precision and stable processing quality.
-
Multi-coordinate linkage can be carried out, and parts with complex shapes can be processed.
-
When machining parts change, generally only need to change the CNC program, which can save production preparation time.
-
The machine tool itself has high precision and high rigidity, can choose a favorable processing amount, and has high productivity (generally 3~5 times of ordinary machine tools).
-
The machine tool has a high degree of automation, which can reduce labor intensity.
-
Higher requirements for the quality of operators and higher technical requirements for maintenance personnel.
Advantages: mainly used for machining shaft, disk and other rotary parts.Through the operation of numerical control processing program, it can automatically complete the cutting of internal and external cylindrical surface, conical surface, forming surface, thread and end surface, etc., and can carry out groove, drilling, reaming, reaming and other work.Turning center can complete more processing procedures in one clamping, improve machining accuracy and production efficiency, especially suitable for complex shape rotary parts processing.,
Disadvantages: Not suitable for processing slender parts.
