Explain what are the advantages of CNC lathe processing

First of all, we need to understand that the application scope of CNC lathe processing is very wide. It is understood that the current CNC lathe machining center system is the only solution to the processing of impellers, blades, marine propellers, heavy generator rotors, automobile wheels, large diesel engine crankshafts, etc. means.

In fact, CNC lathe processing is characterized by high efficiency and high precision, and workpieces can be clamped in one go. It can adapt to the processing of current molds such as automotive parts and aircraft structural parts. Let’s take a look at what are the advantages of CNC lathe processing?

Advantage 1: No special fixtures are required, and can achieve automation

Another significant feature of the five-axis is that its dependence on fixtures will be reduced. Regular workpieces can be clamped directly with three-jaw and four-jaw chucks, and irregular workpieces can be clamped with two pins on one side. At the same time, CNC lathe processing can realize factory automation and reduce human use. For example, the joints and bases of the robot are processed. Previously, we used horizontal and vertical plus compound processing, but now we only need to use zero-point pallets and CNC lathe processing to achieve 24-hour operation processing.

Advantage 2: Reduce processing time and improve processing accuracy.

The biggest feature of CNC lathe processing is that it can process all five sides with one-time clamping. That is, the so-called processing angle avoidance. If it is a linkage machine tool, the C axis can rotate unlimitedly, and the A axis can rotate about 130 degrees. These equipment features allow no interference during processing.

The advantage of this is that one clamping can complete processing, that is, it avoids repeated positioning errors caused by multiple clamping. At the same time, one-time clamping also saves a lot of time and improves work efficiency. It can reduce the time from product to shipment and reduce inventory volume.

Advantage 3: Reduce equipment investment costs, workshop area and number of workshops.

CNC lathe processing left and right composite processing machine usually has a turning function, and can be included from even from lathe to milling machine to vertical grinding. Everyone knows that the current price of vertical grinding equipment is very expensive. You can find that through cost, processing beats and other calculations. The five-axis is cost-effective. Previously, everyone's production and processing might be mainly engineering segmented. The problem with this production method is that there is a large amount of waiting time that cannot be eliminated. However, the intensive engineering production represented by five-axis composite processing equipment only requires early waiting and debugging time. With the current popularization of various complete machine simulation software in China, programming can be completed by just importing blank data. Greatly shorten the preliminary preparations. Therefore, at present, foreign auto parts and high-end manufacturing are basically based on five-axis.

The above is about the advantages of CNC lathe processing . Finally, I remind you that CNC lathe processing includes five axes: X, Y, Z, A, and C. XYZ and AC axes form five-axis linkage processing. They are good at space surface processing and special-shaped processing. , hollowing out processing, hole punching, oblique holes, oblique cutting, etc. The 'Pentahedral machining center' is similar to three-axis processing, except that it can do five surfaces at the same time, but it cannot do special-shaped processing, such as cutting inclined holes, cutting inclined surfaces, etc.
