The CNC machining center is a high-precision and high-efficiency processing equipment. In order to ensure the processing quality and efficiency, the tool setting operation must be performed before each processing process. Tool setting is a very important part of the CNC machining center. The correct tool setting method can effectively improve the processing quality and efficiency. But for some beginners and inexperienced operators, the process of setting the knife may be difficult. The following is an introduction to the steps for tool setting in CNC machining centers.
Step 1: Prepare the workpiece
Before performing tool setting, you need to first prepare the workpiece required for processing. Make sure the surface of the workpiece is clean and free of bumps or wear.
Step 2: Install the workbench
Install the workpiece on the workbench of the machining center, and adjust the horizontal direction of the workbench to ensure that the workpiece is fixed on it.
Step 3: Perform manual processing preheating
Manual machining preheating is an important step for tool setting. During the preheating process, the tool movement needs to be manually controlled to determine the actual height of the suspended part of the workpiece. After the preheating process is completed, the system will automatically calculate the actual height of the workpiece.
Step 4: Carry out tool head wear compensation
Before processing, the tool head needs to be compensated for wear. Due to different usage times, the wear of the cutter head will also be different, so cutter head wear compensation is required. After the wear compensation and measurement tools are set up in the system, the system will automatically do this step.
Step 5: Perform automatic tool setting
After completing the above steps, the system can perform automatic tool calibration. In this step, the system automatically adjusts the relative position of the tool and the workpiece to ensure normal use of the tool and processing quality. During the automatic tool setting process, the system will automatically measure the tool head position, hammer height and other parameters and automatically calibrate them.
Step Six: Check Processing
After automatic tool setting, the processing situation needs to be checked. If the processing quality and accuracy meet the requirements, batch processing can be performed directly, otherwise the tool setting operation needs to be performed again.
The above are the steps for tool setting in CNC machining centers. These steps are not only suitable for beginners and inexperienced operators, but must be followed strictly even for experienced operators. Only in this way can the normal use and processing quality of the CNC machining center be guaranteed.
