The CNC vertical lathe is a machine tool that specializes in the production of parts. When working, a stable and reliable workbench is required to support and fix the workpiece to ensure processing accuracy and safety. So, what is the fixing method of CNC vertical lathe worktable?
Normally, there are two ways to fix the worktable of CNC vertical lathes: mechanical clamping and hydraulic clamping.
1. Mechanical clamping
Mechanical clamping is a traditional way of fixing the workbench. It uses mechanical gears, screw pairs, handles and other devices to complete the fixation of the workbench through manual operation of the clamping mechanism. Mechanical clamping has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, and low price, but it also has the disadvantages of unstable clamping force, troublesome debugging, and the need for complex calculations.
2. Hydraulic clamping
Hydraulic clamping is a newer method of fixing the workbench. It uses hydraulic cylinders, electromagnetic reversing valves, pressure gauges and other devices to fix the workbench at the set position through an electronic control system. Hydraulic clamping has the advantages of easy operation, stable clamping force, and high repeatability. It reduces operating noise and vibration and improves work efficiency. It has become the main method for fixing the worktable of modern CNC vertical lathes.
Generally speaking, the fixing method of CNC vertical lathe worktable directly affects the processing efficiency and processing quality. It is very important to choose the appropriate fixing method. Mechanical clamping and hydraulic clamping have their own advantages and limitations in different application scenarios, so the selection needs to be considered based on the specific situation.
