The operating steps of a CNC vertical lathe usually include the following main stages. Please note that specific operating steps may vary between models and manufacturers, so read the device manual carefully and follow the manufacturer's guidance before operating.
1. Start preparation:
Make sure the power connection of the CNC vertical lathe is normal and the main power switch is turned off.
Check for foreign objects around the CNC vertical lathe and make sure the work area is clean.
2. Start up:
Turn on the main power switch of the CNC vertical lathe and start the CNC system.
CNC vertical lathe performs self-test and initialization of CNC system.
3. Clamp the workpiece:
Use the appropriate clamps of the CNC vertical lathe to clamp the workpiece on the workbench, ensuring a firm clamping.
4.Safety check:
Check each safety device of the CNC vertical lathe to ensure that safety systems such as emergency stop buttons and grating sensors are working properly.
Make sure the protective door or fence of the CNC vertical lathe is closed and locked.
5. Select tool and process parameters:
CNC vertical lathe selects appropriate tools according to processing needs.
Set the cutting speed, feed speed and other process parameters of CNC vertical lathe tools.
6.Coordinate system setting:
Set the workpiece coordinate system and tool compensation in the CNC system.
The CNC vertical lathe inputs the machining program and the corresponding tool path.
7. Manually move the spindle:
In manual mode, the spindle is manually operated using a console or CNC system to move the tool close to the workpiece.
8. Automatically run the program:
The CNC vertical lathe starts the automatic running program in the CNC system and monitors the entire processing process.
Debugging and monitoring can be done using single-step or continuous run modes.
9. Monitor the processing process:
CNC vertical lathes regularly check tool wear and workpiece surface quality during processing.
Pay attention to the alarm information of the CNC vertical lathe CNC system and handle abnormal situations in a timely manner.
10. Processing completed:
After the CNC vertical lathe processing is completed, the automatic running program stops.
Turn off the main power supply of the CNC vertical lathe and completely shut down the CNC system.
Before performing any operation on the CNC vertical lathe, be sure to read the operation manual of the CNC vertical lathe carefully and ensure that it is operated in accordance with safety regulations to prevent accidents. After mastering the operating steps, you can use the CNC vertical lathe for processing more efficiently and safely.
