What are the main components in CNC machining?

What are the components of a complete CNC machining center? I will introduce it to you in detail today, I hope it will be useful to friends who want to know about CNC machining centers. In our machining center manufacturer, there are seven main components, list them: (1) The basic components refer to the casting bed. It consists of a bed rail, and a workbench.

It is the basic component of CNC machining center. Most are castings. CNC machining centers are subjected to static and dynamic loads during machining.

Therefore, the rigidity of the casting of the bed is very high, and it is also the most important part that determines the quality of the CNC machining center. (2) Main shaft components. It consists of spindle motor, head, spindle and spindle support etc.

Its start and stop, rotation are controlled by a CNC system, and cutting motion is performed by a tool mounted on the spindle, which is the output power of the cutting process. The part spindle is the key component of the CNC machining center, and its structural quality greatly affects the performance of the CMC machining center. (3) Control system.

The CNC system of the CNC machining center consists of CNC equipment, programmable controllers, servo drives and motors. They are the control center of the CNC machining center to perform sequential control actions and complete the machining process. (4) Servo system.

The function of servo control is to convert the signal numerical control device to the moving parts of the machine tool, and its performance is one of the main factors that determine the machining accuracy of the machine tool, surface quality, movement and production efficiency. CNC machining centers generally adopt three control methods: semi-closed loop, and hybrid loop. (5) Automatic tool changer.

It consists of components such as robots, and drive mechanisms. The magazine is the device that stores all the tools used to process the piece. The disk types of tool storage are , , bucket and chain, and the capacity ranges from a few to a dozen.

When a tool needs to be replaced during machining, the tool is removed from the tool magazine and the robot loads on the axle (or other device) according to the command of the CNC. According to the relative position and structure of the tool magazine and the spindle, the structure of the manipulator has various shapes. Some CNC machining centers use the movement of the spindle head or loader to change tools without using a robot.

Although the process of tool change, tool selection mode, tool library structure, type manipulator, etc., the control of numerical control devices and programmable controllers, electric motors, hydraulic mechanisms or tires realize the selection and exchange of tools. Tool and workpiece errors can also be measured when contact sensors are installed in mechanisms. (6) Automatic pallet replacement system.

The time management of some CNC machining centers without cutting workpieces is further shortened, and the two workpiece pallets are automatically replaced, one processing is installed on one workbench, and the workbench is located outside the other, thereby reducing auxiliary time and improving processing efficiency. (7) Auxiliary system. Including lubricating, cooling, chip evacuation, protection, hydraulic system and random inspection.

Although the auxiliary system does not directly participate in the cutting movement, it has a decisive guarantee for the accuracy and reliability of the CNC machining center, so it is also an indispensable part of the CNC machining center. The above is a complete CNC machining center. The brand and grade of each functional component can be selected by customers.
