Explain the advantages of CNC lathe processing

First of all, we need to understand that CNC lathe processing has a very wide range of applications. It is understood that the current CNC CNC lathe processing center system is a solution for impellers, blades, marine propellers, heavy generator rotors, automobile wheels, and large diesel engines. The only means of machining crankshafts, etc.

In fact, CNC lathes have the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision, and complex machining can be completed in one clamping of the workpiece. It can adapt to the processing of current molds such as auto parts and aircraft structural parts. Let's take a look at the advantages of CNC lathe processing.

Advantage 1: No need for special fixtures, can be automated

Another significant feature of the five-axis is that the dependence on fixtures will be reduced, and the rules The workpiece can be directly clamped with a three-jaw four-jaw chuck, and an irregular workpiece can be clamped with two pins on one side. At the same time, CNC CNC lathe processing can realize the automation and less labor of the factory. For example, the joints and bases of processing robots. Previously, the combined processing of horizontal and vertical processing was used. Now, only the zero-point pallet and CNC lathe processing can be used to achieve 24-hour operation and processing.

Advantage 2: Reduce machining time and improve machining accuracy.

The biggest feature of CNC lathe processing is that one-time clamping can process all five surfaces. This is the so-called machining angle avoidance. If it is a linkage machine tool, the C axis can rotate without limit, and the A axis can rotate about 130 degrees. These device characteristics allow for interference-free machining.

The advantage of this is that the processing can be completed in one clamping, that is, repeated positioning errors caused by multiple clampings are avoided. At the same time, one clamping also saves a lot of time and improves work efficiency. It can reduce the time from product to delivery and reduce the amount of inventory.

Advantage three: reduce equipment investment cost, workshop area and workshop quantity.

CNC CNC lathes are used to process left and right composite processing machines, usually with a turning function, from lathes to milling machines to vertical grinding machines. Everyone knows that the price of vertical grinding equipment is very expensive. , processing beat and other calculations, it can be found that the cost performance of the five-axis is relatively high. Previously, everyone's production and processing may be mainly based on engineering division. The problem with this production method is that there is a lot of waiting time that cannot be eliminated. However, the engineering-intensive production represented by the five-axis composite processing equipment only requires the initial waiting time for debugging, and with the popularization of various domestic simulation software of the whole machine, programming can be completed only by importing the blank data, and it is also possible to Significantly shorten the pre-preparation. Therefore, foreign auto parts and high-end manufacturing are basically based on five-axis.

The above is the understanding of the advantages of CNC lathes. Finally, I remind you that CNC lathes have five axes: X, Y, Z, A, and C. , XYZ and AC axis form five-axis linkage processing, good at space surface processing, special-shaped processing, hollow processing, drilling, oblique holes, bevel cutting, etc. The 'pentahedron machining center' is similar to three-axis machining, except that it can do five surfaces at the same time, but it cannot do special-shaped machining, such as drilling oblique holes, cutting bevels, etc.
