The process of adjusting a CNC vertical lathe requires certain experience and technical knowledge. The following are general adjustment steps, but please note that the specific adjustment steps may vary for different models of CNC vertical lathes.

1. Start preparation:

Make sure the power connections of the CNC vertical lathe and the CNC system are normal, and check the working status of the lubrication system and cooling system before starting the machine.


2. CNC system parameter settings:

CNC vertical lathes set corresponding processing parameters in the CNC system according to processing requirements, including cutting speed, feed speed, tool radius compensation, etc.


3. Coordinate system setting:

The CNC vertical lathe sets the coordinate system of the CNC system according to the coordinate system of the workpiece. Make sure the workpiece is in the correct position in the machine coordinate system.


4. Tool length compensation:

If you use CNC vertical lathe tool length compensation, you need to measure and set the length compensation value of the tool to ensure the correct cutting point.


5. Tool selection and installation:

Select the appropriate tool for the CNC vertical lathe and install it correctly on the tool holder according to the processing requirements. Pay attention to the orientation of the tool and the way it is clamped.


6. Workpiece clamping:

CNC vertical lathes use suitable clamps to hold the workpiece on the machine tool to ensure a tight clamping and avoid movement or vibration during machining.


7. Manual movement and calibration:

In manual mode, the CNC vertical lathe adjusts the position of each axis through the handwheel or joystick, so that the tool can accurately move above the workpiece and cover the entire processing range.


8. Zero point setting:

The CNC vertical lathe sets the zero point of each axis in the CNC system according to the zero point position of the workpiece. This is a key step to ensure machining accuracy.


9. Program debugging:

The CNC vertical lathe runs a simple program for debugging to check whether the tool's motion trajectory, processing depth, etc. are as expected.


10. Monitor the processing process:

Before formal processing of the CNC vertical lathe, observe the display of the CNC system and the operating status of the machine tool to ensure that everything is normal.


11. Automatic operation:

After the manual debugging of the CNC vertical lathe is confirmed to be correct, you can try to use the automatic mode for processing. At this stage, attention should be paid to monitoring the cutting status of the tool and the machining accuracy of the workpiece.


12.Quality inspection:

After the CNC vertical lathe completes the processing, the workpiece is inspected for quality to ensure that the processing results meet the requirements.


During the entire adjustment process, be careful to ensure safety. If you encounter problems, stop the machine for inspection in time to prevent damage to the machine tool and cutting tools. The best practice is to follow the operator's manual and guidance provided by the machine tool manufacturer for adjustments.
