With the development of industrial intelligence, CNC vertical lathes have become an indispensable part of modern mechanical processing. It can process a variety of parts through computer programming, and the accuracy and quality are much higher than the output of traditional manual operations.
For beginners, a small CNC vertical lathe may be a better choice. Small CNC vertical lathes are easy to use and the operation process is relatively simple. The following are the general steps for a small CNC vertical lathe:
Step 1: Choose appropriate processing materials
Normally, small CNC vertical lathes can process some materials such as aluminum, copper, steel, plastic and wood. The selection should be based on specific processing needs and material properties.
Step 2: Design CAD drawings
Drawing CAD drawings is a necessary step for small CNC vertical lathe operations. You need to use some CAD software, such as AutoCAD, etc., to draw appropriate drawings according to design requirements.
Step 3: Set clamping method and process parameters
It is very important to determine the clamping method and how to fix the material on the small CNC vertical lathe for operation. In addition, the process parameters, such as feed speed, rotation speed, etc., need to be set according to the characteristics of the processed materials and drawing requirements.
Step 4: Install processing tools
According to the processing requirements, some suitable tools need to be installed, such as turning tools, drill bits, etc. After installation, some adjustment and calibration of the tool is required.
Step 5: Run the machine tool and start processing
After completing the above steps, you can use a small CNC vertical lathe for processing. Generally speaking, program editing, debugging and calibration are required to allow the machine tool to operate normally.
Step Six: Grinding Operation
Sometimes there may be some errors during the machining process, such as tool wear and other problems. At this time, it is necessary to perform grinding operations to restore the normal operation of the CNC vertical lathe.
The above are the operating steps of a small CNC vertical lathe. From selecting processing materials, drawing CAD drawings, setting clamping methods and process parameters, installing tools, to the final operation of machine tools and grinding operations, every step needs to be completed carefully and carefully. It should be noted that beginners need to remain vigilant at all times during operation to ensure personal safety. In addition, you need to practice frequently and put in a lot of effort to learn in depth and master the relevant technologies of small CNC vertical lathes.
