The small CNC vertical lathe is a high-efficiency CNC processing equipment that can quickly and accurately cut parts through digital operation. In the machining process, the setting of tool change points is a crucial step. Reasonable settings can effectively improve the production efficiency and processing quality of the equipment. Next, we will introduce in detail how to set the tool change point of a small CNC vertical lathe.
1. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the processing scope of CNC vertical lathe and the processing method of parts, that is, the selection and use of tools need to be determined. It is necessary to select the appropriate tool according to the number, material and other characteristics of the workpiece to be processed, and replace it using the equipment's own settings to achieve automatic tool change.
2. Confirm the working coordinate system of the small CNC vertical lathe, that is, the origin of the equipment and the coordinate change pattern during the processing process. At the same time, the setting position of the tool change point needs to be determined based on variables such as rotational speed and feed speed during the work process to improve processing efficiency and safety.
3. In the process of setting the tool change point, factors such as the type, quantity and location of the tools need to be considered. Normally, CNC vertical lathe equipment will provide multiple tool change points. Tools and tool change points can be selected according to the shape and size of the processed parts to achieve conversion of different shape processing.
4. After setting the tool change point, corresponding testing and trials need to be carried out. You can conduct simple sample cutting and other experiments to test whether the setting of the tool change point is reasonable and whether the processing process can be completed smoothly. At the same time, regular inspection and maintenance of the cutting tools are also required to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the cutting tools.
In short, the tool change point setting of a small CNC vertical lathe is a very important process, and it needs to be personalized and adjusted according to specific processing needs and equipment characteristics to achieve a more efficient and high-quality processing process. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the selection of tools and regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the normal operation and safety of the equipment.
