CNC vertical lathe is a high-precision, high-efficiency mechanical equipment widely used in various fields of manufacturing. Correct programming is the key to ensuring the normal operation of CNC vertical lathes during the production process. Let's take a closer look at the programming method of CNC vertical lathe.

1. Programming language selection

CNC vertical lathes are generally controlled using the NC(K) programming language. In this programming language, every instruction starts with the letter G, followed by a series of numbers and letters. The G command part is mainly used to define motion; the M command part is mainly used to set the action mode and stop mode of the machine tool.

2. Coordinate system selection

Before programming a CNC vertical lathe, you need to select a coordinate system. Common coordinate systems include coordinate systems and relative coordinate systems. The coordinate system takes the machine tool zero point as the origin, and the position of each point is the distance from the origin; the relative coordinate system takes the current position as the origin, and the position of each point is the displacement relative to the current position. Select the coordinate system or relative coordinate system according to your needs.

3. Set the workpiece coordinate system

Setting the workpiece coordinate system for a CNC vertical lathe refers to determining the positional relationship of the workpiece relative to the machine tool. Generally, the method of setting the workpiece coordinate system is to measure the reference point on the workpiece surface, determine the position relative to the CNC vertical lathe, and set the workpiece coordinate system by inputting the corresponding instructions.

4. Set tool radius and length compensation

Tool radius and length compensation is one of the important functions of CNC vertical lathes. When programming the CNC vertical lathe, you need to input corresponding instructions according to the actual situation, so that the CNC vertical lathe can automatically correct according to the radius and length of the tool. This can effectively reduce errors and improve production efficiency.

5.Write a program

After determining the coordinate system, tool radius and length compensation of the CNC vertical lathe, you can write the program. When writing a program, you need to input corresponding motion instructions according to the shape and size of the workpiece to make the machine tool process according to the predetermined path. At the same time, corresponding speed and feed instructions need to be input to control the movement speed and feed speed of the machine tool.

Programming of CNC vertical lathes is a very important part of the manufacturing industry. By correctly writing programs, machine tools can process workpieces efficiently and accurately, improving production efficiency and product quality. I hope that the above introduction can help everyone have a deeper understanding of CNC vertical lathe programming methods and contribute to the development of the manufacturing industry.
