Turn-milling machining is a common mechanical processing method that uses a combination of a lathe and milling machine to fix the workpiece on the workbench, and uses the rotation and movement of the cutting tool to cut the workpiece. The main functions of turning and milling processing are as follows:
Shape processing: Turn-milling can process various shapes of workpieces, such as flat surfaces, curved surfaces, cams, gears, etc. By controlling the motion trajectory and cutting parameters of the cutting tool, complex shape machining requirements can be achieved.
Dimensional processing: Turning and milling can accurately process the dimensions of workpieces. By controlling parameters such as cutting depth and feed speed of the cutting tool, precise control of workpiece dimensions can be achieved, meeting engineering requirements.
Surface processing: Turn-milling can process the surface of workpieces, such as grinding, polishing, cutting, etc. By selecting appropriate cutting tools and cutting parameters, the smoothness and roughness of the workpiece surface can be improved, and the surface quality of the workpiece can be improved.
Hole processing: Turn-milling can be used for hole processing, such as drilling, reaming, boring, etc. By selecting appropriate cutting tools and cutting parameters, the machining requirements of internal holes in the workpiece can be achieved, meeting engineering requirements.
Turn-milling is a flexible and efficient mechanical processing method that can meet the processing needs of various shapes, sizes, and surface requirements, and is widely used in various fields of manufacturing.
CNC lathe
CNC lathe is a machine tool that controls the relative motion of cutting tools and workpieces through a computer. It can automatically process various shapes and sizes based on pre programmed instructions. The following is the workflow of a CNC lathe:
Design and programming: Firstly, it is necessary to design according to the requirements of the workpiece and convert the design into a CNC program. A CNC program is a series of instructions that describe the motion trajectory, cutting parameters, and machining sequence of the tool.
Preparation work: Before starting machining, it is necessary to install and adjust the tools, fixtures, and workpieces. The selection of cutting tools and fixtures should be based on processing requirements and workpiece materials, while the workpiece needs to be fixed on the workbench.
Load program: Load the pre written CNC program into the CNC system. The CNC system will control the movement of the cutting tool and workpiece according to the instructions in the program.
Set cutting parameters: Set cutting parameters such as cutting depth, feed speed, rotational speed, etc. according to processing requirements. These parameters will affect the quality and efficiency of processing.
Start the CNC system: Start the CNC system and start executing the program. The CNC system will control the movement of the cutting tool and workpiece according to the instructions in the program.
Cutting processing: The CNC system will control the motion trajectory and cutting parameters of the tool according to the instructions in the program, and carry out cutting processing. The tool can perform actions such as feeding, retracting, and cutting, and perform corresponding operations according to the instructions in the program.
Monitoring and adjustment: During the machining process, the CNC system will monitor the status of the cutting tools and workpieces in real-time and make adjustments as needed. If abnormal situations occur, such as tool wear, workpiece deformation, etc., the CNC system can issue an alarm and take corresponding measures.
Complete machining: After the machining is completed, the CNC system will stop the movement of the tool and workpiece. The workpiece can be removed from the workbench for subsequent processing and inspection.
