With the continuous development of the industrialization process, CNC machine tools are playing an increasingly important role in industrial production. As one of the common CNC machine tools, the CNC turning and milling machine can perform both turning and milling, and is widely used in all walks of life. However, tool setting has always been a very important technical difficulty in the operation of CNC turning and milling combined machines. Today we will talk about how to set milling cutters on CNC turning and milling combined machines.

First of all, for the milling cutter setting of the CNC turning and milling combined machine, we need to select different milling cutter types according to different parts material, shape, size and process requirements. This is because different types of milling cutters will differ in surface roughness, accuracy, processing speed, etc., and they need to be selected according to different situations.

Next, let’s briefly introduce the specific steps of tool setting for CNC turning and milling compound machine milling cutters:

1. Select the appropriate tool and fixture, fix the tool in the fixture, and install it.

2. After the tool on the fixture is rotated so that the tool tip is at the center of the fixture, tighten the tool so that it will not deform or move.

3. After the tool is installed, you can start to set the milling cutter. First, select the appropriate tool, such as the milling tool setting command in the auxiliary control panel. Then, enter the tool setting interface for adjustment, and follow the on-screen prompts to enter the relevant parameters of the processing coordinate system.

4. Place the workpiece on the workbench, adjust the positioning of the workpiece according to the cutting specifications of the machine tool, and use the auxiliary positioner to assist clamping during positioning. Then, by adjusting parameters such as clamping force and clamp spacing, the workpiece is ensured to be placed firmly and stably.

5. Enter the tool setting operation. Adjust the sensors and various test tools according to the dimensions of the milling cutter header and spindle header provided by the milling cutter manufacturer. Follow the on-screen guidance to adjust the workpiece milling cutter position to the correct position.

6. When the tool setting is completed and the milling cutter position is correct, processing can begin.

The above are the specific steps for setting the milling cutter of the CNC turning and milling compound machine. It should be noted that safety checks and appropriate milling cutter selection must be carried out before each tool setting, and the operating procedures must be strictly followed during the actual operation to ensure the safety and efficiency of the entire operation.
