Use of CNC lathes

CNC lathes are core equipment in modern mechanical processing. They are mainly used for processing the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, complex rotary surfaces and threads of shaft and disc parts, and support auxiliary processes such as slotting, drilling and reaming.

Core function

1.High-precision processing ‌ : Automatically control the machine tool's movements through preset processing programs to achieve micron-level precision processing.

2.Multitasking processing ‌ : Supports the processing of complex shapes such as inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, and threads, and can simultaneously complete multiple processes such as cutting and drilling. ‌

3. Automated operation: It adopts G-code programming and realizes full-process automated control through a numerical control system, reducing manual intervention.

operation procedure

1. Programming

   When writing processing programs using professional programming software or the built-in editing functions of the machine tool, it is necessary to precisely define tool paths, cutting parameters, etc.

   Common instructions include the G90 outer circle processing cycle instruction, the G94 end face processing cycle instruction, etc.

2. Tool setting and zero point setting

   The zero point of the workpiece coordinate system is determined by the trial cutting method or the G50 command to ensure the machining accuracy.

   The tool needs to be manually moved to the predetermined position and the actual size measured for calibration.

3. Machine tool operation

   Input the program into the machine tool control system and start the processing. Adjust the tool position through manual mode (such as JOG/MPG).

   Real-time monitoring of coordinate display and tool path, and adjustment of processing speed through feed ratio.

4. Safety and Maintenance

   Before operation, it is necessary to return to the reference point to calibrate the machine coordinate system to avoid collisions caused by program errors.

   Regularly inspect the wear of cutting tools and the operating status of equipment to ensure the stability of processing.

   Typical application scenarios

   It is applicable to the processing of complex shaft parts in fields such as automobiles, aerospace, and precision machinery, such as turbine shafts and gear shafts.
