The definition of CNC turning:
CNC turning is a high-precision and high-efficiency machining method in which the parts and tools are controlled by a computer. The CNC machine processes the parts automatically according to the pre-programmed processing program in the computer.
CNC turning manufacturers make the processing route, process data, cutting tool motion trajectory, displacement, and cutting parameters into a process program and put the program into the CNC machine to instruct the machining work.
The precautions and tips for CNC turning manufacturers:
1. Choosing the reasonable cutting parameters
The three main factors for efficient metal cutting are the material, the cutting tool, and the cutting conditions. They determine working time, tool life, and part quality. The most economical and effective processing method is to rationally select cutting conditions.
The three components of cutting conditions, cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut, these conditions will damage the tool if they are not reasonable. CNC turning manufacturers should select cutting speeds according to the material, hardness, cutting conditions, feed rate, cutting depth, etc.
2. Choosing the tools wisely.
Choosing tools with high strength and durability to meet the requirements of large retreat and large feed during roughing.
Using high-precision and durable tools to ensure the required processing accuracy when turning.
Clamping the blade as much as possible to reduce tool changing time.
3. Selecting the reasonable fixtures.
Use ordinary clamps to clamp workpieces and avoid using specialized clamps.
Matching the positioning of the parts and reducing positioning errors.
4. Making the processing route
Must ensure the processing accuracy and surface roughness requirements.
Keep machining routes as short as possible to reduce tool idle time.
5. The maintenance of the cutting tool
Regularly monitor tool wear and performance during machining. Utilize tool monitoring systems to detect tool wear or tool breakage.
6. Operator training and programming skills
Provide machine operators with adequate training in CNC turning operations, including machine operation, tool setup, and programming. Skilled operators and programmers can optimize cutting parameters, solve problems, and effectively utilize the capabilities of CNC lathes to increase productivity and quality。
7. Continuous improvement and process optimization
Turning processes are regularly evaluated and analyzed to identify areas for improvement. Measure and track key performance indicators such as cycle time, and scrap rate to identify opportunities for process optimization.
By considering these important factors and using effective expertise, CNC turning manufacturers can maximize CNC turning productivity, quality, and profitability.
