How to Choose A Suitable CNC Lathe?
Publish Time: 2020-10-21 Origin: Site
CNC lathes and turning centers are high-precision and high-efficiency automated machine tools. It has a wide range of processing properties, and can process straight cylinders, oblique cylinders, arcs and various threads. It has various compensation functions of linear interpolation and circular interpolation, and has played a good economic effect in the mass production of complex parts. Reasonable selection of CNC lathes should follow the following principles:
1. Preparation
Determine the process requirements of typical parts and the batch size of the processed workpieces. The function that the CNC lathe should have is to make preparations, and the prerequisites for the reasonable selection of CNC lathes meet the process requirements of typical parts.
The process requirements of typical parts are mainly the structural size, processing range, and accuracy requirements of the parts. According to the accuracy requirements, that is, the dimensional accuracy, positioning accuracy, and surface roughness of the workpiece, the control accuracy of the CNC lathe is selected. Choose based on reliability. Reliability is a guarantee for improving product quality and production efficiency. The reliability of a CNC machine tool means that the machine tool runs stably for a long time without failure when it performs its functions under specified conditions. That is, the mean time between failures is long, even if there is a failure, it can be restored in a short time and put into use again. Choose machine tools with reasonable structure, excellent manufacturing, and mass production. Generally, the more users, the higher the reliability of the CNC system.
2. Purchase of machine tool accessories and tools
Machine tool accessories, spare parts, and their supply capacity, cutting tools, are very important for CNC lathes. When choosing a machine tool, carefully consider the compatibility of tools and accessories.
3. Focus on the identity of the control system
We will choose the same manufacturer's system, which will help repair it. In teaching units, it is a wise choice for students to choose different controllers and be equipped with various simulation software because they need students to be knowledgeable.
4. Choose according to cost performance
Make sure that the functions and accuracy are not idle, not wasted. Don't choose features that have nothing to do with your needs.
5. Protection of machine tools
You can choose the CNC lathe with fully enclosed or semi-enclosed protective devices and automatic chip removal devices.
When choosing CNC lathes and turning centers, you need to consider the above principles comprehensively.
