The process of clamping workpieces on CNC vertical lathes needs to be meticulous and precise to ensure the stability of processing and the processing accuracy of workpieces. The following are the main steps for clamping workpieces on CNC vertical lathes, which are summarized and summarized in combination with the relevant information in the reference article:

1. Preparation before operation

Power on and check the machine tool: Make sure that the power of the CNC vertical lathe is turned on, the lubricating oil of each part has been filled, and check whether the CNC system is operating normally and whether each sensor is sensitive.

2. Workpiece installation

Placing the workpiece: The CNC vertical lathe places the workpiece to be processed on the workpiece fixture, such as a self-centering chuck, a single-action chuck or a top.

Clamping the workpiece:

Adjust the chuck position: The CNC vertical lathe correctly adjusts the chuck position according to the size and shape of the workpiece. It should usually be placed in the center of the lathe to ensure that the workpiece can rotate accurately.

Adjust the height of the jaws: The CNC vertical lathe ensures that the jaws are roughly parallel to the center line of the workpiece and are distributed as evenly as possible around the workpiece.

Clamp the jaws: Clamp the jaws one by one to ensure that the workpiece is stably fixed on the lathe.

Adjust the clamping force and key positions:

Clamping force: Ensure that the clamping force of the CNC vertical lathe is moderate to avoid excessive force that causes deformation of the workpiece or too small force that causes the workpiece to shift or vibrate during processing.

Key position: The CNC vertical lathe adjusts the position of the clamping point according to the center of gravity of the workpiece to ensure the smooth operation of the workpiece during processing.

3. Inspection and adjustment

Dimension measurement: The CNC vertical lathe uses a caliper or other measuring tools to measure the size of the workpiece to ensure accuracy.

Test run: Before the formal processing of the CNC vertical lathe, the CNC vertical lathe conducts a test run to check whether the tool rotates smoothly and whether the workpiece clamping is stable.

4. CNC program setting

Start the CNC system: The CNC vertical lathe enters the correct processing program and checks whether the various parameters in the program meet the requirements of the workpiece, such as tool speed, feed speed, etc.

5. Processing and monitoring

Start processing: After pressing the start button of the CNC vertical lathe, the CNC system starts to execute the processing program and automatically controls the machine tool for processing operations.

Monitoring and adjustment: The CNC system of the CNC vertical lathe monitors various parameters in the cutting process, such as temperature, force, etc., in real time, and adjusts and corrects them as needed.

6. Processing completion

Turn off the lathe: When the CNC vertical lathe processing program is executed, turn off the power of the lathe.

Cleaning and inspection: The CNC vertical lathe cleans the processing area, removes chips and lubricating oil, and keeps the lathe clean. Check the processing quality of the workpiece and the wear of the fixture again.

7. Safety precautions

Avoid touching rotating parts: During the operation of the CNC vertical lathe, do not touch the rotating parts to prevent danger.

Use personal protective equipment: such as goggles and gloves to ensure safe operation.

The above are the main steps and precautions for clamping workpieces on CNC vertical lathes. Following these steps and precautions can ensure the stability of workpiece clamping and processing quality.
