CNC vertical lathe is an advanced machine tool equipment with a high degree of automation and excellent precision. It is widely used in the field of mechanical processing.
First of all, the CNC vertical lathe has a vertical structure, and its work surface is basically perpendicular to the bed. This structure helps ensure the stability and cutting accuracy of parts during processing, and is especially suitable for processing large-sized and heavy workpieces. At the same time, vertical lathes are also suitable for processing workpieces with special shapes, such as cones, spirals, etc.
In the turning process of CNC vertical lathe, the first thing is to ensure the position accuracy of the turning tool and the workpiece, which has a huge impact on the shape, size and surface quality of the part. Generally speaking, CNC vertical lathes adopt the structure of an upper cutterhead and a lower tool post, which can realize alternating cutting of the two knives to ensure cutting accuracy and cutting smoothness. Due to the contact between the tool and the workpiece during turning, a large amount of cutting heat and cutting vibration are generated. The CNC vertical lathe is also equipped with cooling fluid and elastic cutting system to ensure the stability and quality of the processing effect.
In terms of technology, the turning processing of CNC vertical lathes can be divided into several methods such as outer diameter turning, inner diameter turning, slot milling and thread turning. Among them, outer diameter turning is the most basic processing method and is mainly used for surface processing and shape adjustment of parts. Inner diameter turning is widely used in the processing of pipe fittings, shaft holes and other workpieces, and has the characteristics of high precision and high efficiency. Slot milling and thread turning are mainly used to process some parts with complex shapes and variable geometries.
In addition, CNC vertical lathes also have the advantage of a high degree of automation. They can control the movement and cutting path of the tool through CNC programming, which greatly improves production efficiency and processing quality. CNC programming requires staff to have a certain technical level and experience, but compared to traditional manual lathes, CNC vertical lathes have obvious advantages in reducing quality problems caused by human operating errors.
The turning process of CNC vertical lathe is a relatively complex technology that requires workers to study and master it carefully in daily operations. With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous upgrading of mechanical equipment, CNC vertical lathes will continue to innovate and optimize, providing more efficient, accurate and reliable technical support for the field of mechanical processing.
