How to improve the machining efficiency of CNC lathes
Aug 28,2024
In the actual production process, we will find that the same CNC lathe can be operated by different personnel, resulting in significant differences in production efficiency within the same working time. Many CNC lathes' processing capabilities are not fully reflected, and they cannot play their optimal role. In the process of use, only by fully considering various factors that affect the production efficiency of CNC lathes, and finding ways to improve the production efficiency of CNC lathes, can the production capacity of CNC lathes be fully utilized.
1. Develop a reasonable machining process route to reduce the auxiliary time of CNC milling
In order to improve the production efficiency of CNC lathes, it is necessary to carefully analyze the parts processed by the CNC lathe, clarify the material, structural characteristics, and technical requirements for form and position tolerances, roughness, heat treatment, and other aspects of the parts. Then, based on this, choose a reasonable milling process and a concise machining route.
The formulation of processing technology: Usually, a part can have several different processing methods, and the production efficiency, processing cost, and processing accuracy often vary significantly depending on the processing process of the part. Therefore, we should, on the premise of ensuring the processing quality of the part, try to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs according to the specific production conditions, and formulate a reasonable processing technology.
Determination of processing route: A correct and concise processing route is the foundation for ensuring processing quality and improving efficiency. When choosing the machining route for parts, it is necessary to follow the principles of determining the machining route in order to achieve the goal of improving production efficiency. The principles for determining the machining route mainly include: ensuring the machining accuracy and surface roughness requirements of the parts, and achieving high efficiency; The processing route should be minimized as much as possible, which can reduce program segments and tool idle time; Numerical calculations should be simplified with fewer program segments to reduce programming workload. In addition, when determining the machining route, it is also necessary to consider the machining allowance of the workpiece and the stiffness of the lathe and cutting tools, and determine whether to complete the machining with one or multiple passes. At the same time, efforts should be made to achieve one-time clamping, multi-directional processing, and one-time forming. In this way, the installation frequency of the workpiece can be reduced, effectively shortening the time for handling and clamping. In this way, it can effectively improve processing efficiency and ensure the positional accuracy requirements of the parts.
2. Choose the appropriate tool
The selection of cutting tools should consider factors such as the machining capacity, process content, and workpiece materials of the CNC lathe. The tools selected for CNC lathes not only require high hardness, high wear resistance, sufficient strength and toughness, high heat resistance, and good processability, but also require stable dimensions and easy installation and adjustment. Therefore, new high-quality materials should be used to manufacture CNC machining tools, and tool parameters should be optimized to make the tool size suitable for the surface size and shape of the workpiece being machined. So, how to choose the appropriate cutting tool?
(1) Choose the appropriate tool
The role of metal cutting tools is extremely important in the cutting process of CNC lathes. The materials used to manufacture cutting tools must have high hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, sufficient strength and toughness, good thermal conductivity and processability, and good economy. In the process of selecting cutting tools, it is advisable to choose tools with larger diameters that have better strength and toughness, while meeting the requirements of part processing; In the same process, the number of selected cutting tools should be minimized to reduce the number of tool changes; Choose universal standard tools as much as possible, and avoid or minimize the use of special non-standard tools.
(2) Reasonably determine the cutting point
The tool alignment point is the starting point of the tool's relative motion to the workpiece when machining parts on a CNC lathe. Also known as the "starting point" or "starting point" of the program. The selection of the tool alignment point must follow the following principles: easy to use digital processing and simplify program programming; easy to find on the lathe, easy to inspect during processing; small machining errors caused. The position of the tool alignment point can be selected on the workpiece or outside the workpiece (such as on fixtures or lathes), but it must have a certain size relationship with the positioning reference of the part. The tool alignment point should be selected as much as possible on the design reference or process reference of the part. For workpieces located by holes, the center of the hole can be selected as the tool alignment point. The position of the tool is then aligned with this hole to make the "in place point" coincide with the "tool alignment point". In this way, the alignment can be better improved. The efficiency of the knife ensures the quality of processing.
