With the continuous development of processing technology, machining centers have become one of the indispensable equipment in various processing businesses. It is a high-precision, high-efficiency, and highly flexible transmission automated processing equipment based on CNC technology. Its processing capabilities cover a variety of processing operations such as drilling, reaming, thread processing, and insert tools. So what are the specifications of machining centers? Let me introduce it to you below.
1. Equipment appearance and size
The appearance and shape of machining centers are diverse, mainly considering the layout of the machining center and the convenience of operation. Generally speaking, machining centers can choose different appearance shapes, such as vertical, horizontal, etc., to meet the needs of different processing conditions.
2. Tool magazine capacity of the machining center
As an automated processing equipment, the tool magazine capacity of a machining center determines the number of items it can process and is also a criterion for measuring the mobility of the equipment. At present, the tool magazine capacity of machining centers can range from 10 to 60 tools. It is very important to select the appropriate tool magazine capacity according to the processing requirements.
3. xyz axis movement range
The xyz axis movement range is one of the most critical specifications of a machining center. The xyz axis represents the axial adjustment of the machining center in the x, y, and z directions of the workpiece, and is also the core part that affects the machining efficiency and accuracy of the machining center. Generally speaking, large-size workpieces require larger xyz-axis movement space, which is an important factor to consider when choosing a machining center.
4. Workbench load-bearing capacity
Since the machining center parts need to be placed on the workbench, the load-bearing capacity of the workbench is also one of the important specifications for choosing a machining center. The load-bearing capacity of the workbench of different machining centers is different, which can range from 200kg to 10 tons. Choosing the appropriate load-bearing capacity of the workbench is also a factor that needs to be considered.
5.Control system
The control system is the "intelligent brain" of the machining center, and its performance directly affects the efficiency and accuracy of the machining center in completing processing tasks. Currently, the three common control systems on the market are Fanuc, Siemens and Mitsubishi. Choosing the appropriate control system can improve processing efficiency and accuracy.
6.Additional functions
In addition to the above specifications, the machining center can also choose different additional functions according to needs, such as light signals, rotary tables, automatic tool changers, protective covers and other accessories. The corresponding functional modules can be selected according to the specific needs of the machining center.
Choosing a machining center that suits you needs to be comprehensively considered based on various factors such as processing needs, size of workpieces, and machining accuracy. Only by fully considering various specifications and factors can you choose an excellent machining center that meets your needs.
