CNC vertical lathes play an important role in industrial manufacturing, and correct workpiece clamping is a key step to ensure processing quality and production efficiency. Next, let’s learn how to correctly clamp the workpiece on the CNC vertical lathe.
First, before clamping the workpiece, the workpiece needs to be inspected to ensure that its surface is clean, flat, and free of wear or other damage. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the size, accuracy and shape of the workpiece meet the design requirements.
Then, you can start the clamping operation. Specifically, the methods for clamping workpieces include the following:
1. Clamp with chuck
The chuck is a common tool for clamping workpieces, and its use is relatively simple. First, install the chuck on the spindle of the CNC vertical lathe, then place the workpiece on the chuck and fix it with bolts. During this process, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the center of the workpiece and the center of the chuck are consistent to ensure the stability and accuracy of the clamping.
2. Use a quick tool changer
Quick tool changers are a quick and efficient way to clamp workpieces. In this way, different fixtures can be quickly changed between different machining tasks, thereby achieving high production efficiency. During the specific operation, the workpiece needs to be placed on the fixture, and then the fixture is stuck on the quick tool change table. When switching processing tasks, only the fixture needs to be replaced.
3. Hard claw clamping method
The hard claw clamping method is a relatively simple method of clamping workpieces and is suitable for workpieces with smaller diameters. Specifically, hard claws can be used to clamp the workpiece and fix it on the spindle of the CNC vertical lathe. During this process, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the clamping force of the hard claw is appropriate and not too tight or too loose.
In short, correct workpiece clamping is an important step to ensure CNC vertical lathe processing quality and production efficiency. Through the introduction of the above clamping methods, I believe that everyone has mastered the skills of clamping workpieces, can use them in practical applications, and achieve good processing results.
