CNC vertical lathe is a commonly used processing method in modern mechanical processing. It uses CNC machine tools for processing and has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency and good stability. In CNC vertical lathe processing, tool installation and tool setting are very important steps. This article will introduce to you the methods of tool installation and tool setting for CNC vertical lathe.

1. How to install the knife

(1) Preparation work

First of all, we need to prepare the milling cutter required for processing and ensure that the quality of the milling cutter is good and there is no wear. In addition, the milling cutter needs to be cleaned to ensure that the surface is free of grease and dust, otherwise it will affect the processing quality.

(2) Install milling cutter

Insert the milling cutter into the chuck and clamp the chuck, making sure that the milling cutter is installed in the correct direction. The insertion depth also needs to be noted. The chuck can control the insertion depth and the depth needs to be adjusted according to actual needs.

(3) Vibration test

After installing the milling cutter, a vibration test is required to determine whether the milling cutter is installed correctly. It is recommended to use a professional vibration testing instrument. The settings need to be based on the size and shape of the milling cutter during testing. The processing speed needs to be slower during testing. If the test result is good, you can proceed to the next step of tool calibration.

2. Knife setting method

(1) Preparation work

Before performing tool setting, you need to prepare a tool setting instrument and height gauge. Check whether the tool setter and height gauge are intact and free of wear and damage.

(2) Adjust the height gauge

After installing the tool setter, you need to use a height gauge to measure the height of the tool. Please pay attention to the calibration of the height gauge. The measurement results need to be recorded and used as a reference for subsequent adjustments.

(3) Adjust the tool setter

When performing tool setting, the position and direction of the tool setting instrument need to be adjusted. Through the contact between the tool setting instrument and the tool, the position of the tool is adjusted to ensure that the relative position to the workpiece is correct. At the same time, you need to pay attention to the accuracy of the dimensions and make timely adjustments.

To sum up, CNC vertical lathe tool installation and tool setting are very important steps. Correct methods and steps can ensure processing quality and efficiency. It is recommended that everyone needs to understand the relevant knowledge and skills before operating, and at the same time, continuous practice and adjustment are required to master the required skills.
