CNC machine center can be the integration of machine tool functions. CNC machining center covers various machining capabilities. Realize one-stop production, reduce machine alternation time and improve production efficiency.
CNC turn center is an advanced manufacturing machine tool. The machine can perform various machining operations. The following describes the types and functions of a CNC machine center.
CNC machine center (CNC Turning Center) is an advanced manufacturing machine tool, which can carry out various machining operations with high precision, high quality, and high surface finish. can carry out drilling, milling, and lathe operations.
The manufacture of Prismatic Parts in industry, such as gearbox, diaphragm, frame, cover, etc., requires different types of operations, such as milling, boring, drilling, tapping, and many other related machining operations. This production process had to be divided into many working stages in the past. It operated on different machine tools to produce finished products, which led to a lot of delivery time and cost. And CNC machine tool center is a good solution. Milling, lathe, and drilling operations on one machine tool can enable one machine tool to meet more kinds of processing needs.
Mechanism type of CNC machine center:
The primary purpose of the CNC machine center is to reduce the production time and advance the institutions of the CNC machine center.
▪ATC (automatic tool change device)
▪APC (automatic tray changer)
▪CNC servo system
▪feedback system
▪Recirculating ball screw and nut
CNC machine center configuration classification type:
▪Horizontal machining center
•Vertical machining center
•General machining center
1. Horizontal machine center
The machine center has a horizontal spindle, and the tool is installed on the machine tools spindle. It is usually a single spindle machine tool with an automatic tool change device. ATC consists of a replaceable tool magazine, which can store multiple tools and accommodate about 16 to 100 tool capacities. An automatic pallet changer (APC) can be installed to reduce loading and unloading time. APC consists of six, eight, or more pallets. The workpiece can be placed in the pallet, and the machine can be programmed to complete the last pallet. After work, replace another new tray. Different workpieces may require different programs. Due to the high material removal rate and large tool volume in the machining process, the tool magazine has more critical requirements for the position of each tool, and the relative weight is becoming heavier and heavier. Some machine tools also have the additional function of rotating the whole spindle to make the horizontal axis of the spindle vertical, thus allowing different operation technologies.
2. Vertical machining center
In this machine, multiple tasks can be completed in one sitting. Most vertical machining centers are three-axis, and some also have the function of a spindle head, which can rotate on one or two axes. The vertical machining center is most suitable for the mold and mold processing industry. The central vertical machining centers are walking columns, gantry structures, and multi-spindle.
3. Universal machining center
A universal machining center is similar to a horizontal machining center. Still, the spindle can be continuously tilted from a horizontal position to a vertical position under the control of a computer. The universal machining center is composed of five or more shafts. The top surface of the workpiece can be installed on the horizontal machining center so that different sides of the workpiece can be processed in one unit.
CNC Turning Center factories (CNC machine centers) in various countries are actively and continuously breaking through the manufacturing capacity, hoping to develop a more precise CNC machine center.
