Measures to prevent thermal deformation of CNC vertical lathes mainly include the following points:
1. Reasonable cutting parameter selection:
Make sure to choose the appropriate cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut for your CNC vertical lathe. Too high cutting parameters may cause excessive heating, which can cause deformation.
2. Effective use of coolant:
Use appropriate coolant for CNC vertical lathes and ensure it cools the workpiece and tool adequately. Coolant helps dissipate heat and reduce the temperature rise of the workpiece and tool, thereby slowing down the occurrence of thermal deformation.
3. Stable machine tool temperature:
Maintain the stability of the ambient temperature of the CNC vertical lathe and avoid thermal deformation of the machine tool due to external temperature fluctuations. Some CNC machine tools are equipped with temperature control systems that can help maintain a stable operating temperature.
4. Reasonable process planning:
CNC vertical lathes consider thermal deformation factors in the process planning stage to minimize long-term continuous cutting and avoid local overheating caused by excessively concentrated heat sources.
5. Selection of high-precision tools and tool holders:
CNC vertical lathes choose high-quality, high-precision tools and tool holders to reduce the impact of thermal expansion of the tools on machining accuracy in high-temperature environments.
6. Workpiece material with good thermal stability:
CNC vertical lathes select workpiece materials with good thermal stability and can maintain stable dimensions in high temperature environments.
7. Regular maintenance of machine tools:
Carry out regular maintenance on CNC machine tools to ensure that each component is in good condition and avoid unstable operation of the machine tool due to component failure.
8. Adopt thermal compensation technology:
Some advanced CNC systems have a thermal compensation function that can automatically adjust the size of the workpiece and tool based on real-time measured temperature data to reduce the impact of thermal deformation on machining accuracy.
By taking these measures comprehensively, the risk of thermal deformation during CNC vertical turning can be effectively reduced and the accuracy and stability of processing can be improved.
