CNC vertical lathe is a high-precision, high-efficiency automated mechanical processing equipment used to process precision parts of various metal materials. It uses CNC technology to make the processing process more accurate, faster and stable. Among them, thread cutting is an important function of CNC vertical lathe. Let's introduce how CNC vertical lathe completes thread cutting.
First, the CNC vertical lathe controls the feed of the workpiece and the rotation of the spindle through the program, locates the position of the tool and the workpiece, determines the cutting trajectory and cutting parameters, and performs cutting operations according to the parameters set in the program. During the thread cutting process, the CNC vertical lathe will automatically calculate the thread's pitch, cross-sectional shape, tolerance and other parameters, and control the feed and motion trajectory of the tool based on these parameters to complete precise thread cutting.
Secondly, CNC vertical lathes generally use thread cutters when cutting threads. Threading tools mainly include thread turning tools and thread taps. Thread turning tools are suitable for processing internal threads or large-diameter external threads, while thread taps are suitable for processing small-diameter external threads. The selection of threading tools should be based on the hardness, shape and size of the processed material to ensure cutting efficiency and processing accuracy.
Finally, when cutting threads with a CNC vertical lathe, you also need to choose the corresponding cutting method according to the type of thread. For example, for different types of threads such as straight thread, twill thread or tap, the cutting methods and cutting parameters are different. Therefore, in the actual processing process, operators need to select appropriate cutting methods and processes based on processing requirements and material characteristics, and make necessary adjustments and optimizations to ensure processing effects and quality.
In short, CNC vertical lathe is one of the important equipment for realizing automated precision processing through CNC technology. In terms of cutting threads, it has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, high stability, etc., and is widely used in the manufacturing industry. At the same time, operators need to have certain knowledge and skills in machining and CNC technology in order to better use CNC vertical lathes for precision machining.
