Selection Of CNC Machine Tool System Function And Accessories

When purchasing CNC machine tools, in addition to the functions and basic parts that meet the basic requirements, full consideration should also be given to the selection of parts, functions and accessories. The selection principle is: comprehensive configuration, release the maximum potential of the machine, and comprehensively consider the long-term and short-term benefits. For some that do not increase much in price but bring a lot of convenience to use, they should be configured as fully as possible. Accessories shall ensure that the machine tool can be put into use immediately after it arrives at the site. It is forbidden to buy a machine tool with hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. After arrival, it can not be used for a long time due to the lack of an accessory with tens or hundreds of dollars.

The selection of CNC system function should be practical, not necessarily too many, especially the equipment included in the batch production line. The simpler the better. For machine tools with multiple varieties and small batch production mode, the selection of programming functions should be strengthened, such as random programming (background programming), motion graphics display, man-machine dialogue programming (GPS), macro programming, etc, Although the speed of programming can be accelerated, the cost should be increased accordingly. Another configuration scheme is to simplify the configuration of the programming function of the CNC system, and separately configure the automatic programming machine and the communication interface with the CNC system. The program processing is completed on the programming machine in advance, and then it takes a few minutes to send it to the CNC system, which can further improve the starting rate of the machine tool.

Many accessories have also been developed to improve processing quality and work reliability, such as automatic measuring device, contact probe and corresponding measurement software, tool length and wear detection, machine tool thermal deformation compensation software and other accessories. The selection principle of these accessories is to ensure reliable operation, but not just pursue novelty. For some auxiliary function accessories, such as cooling, protection, chip removal and other devices, they are mainly determined according to the on-site use requirements and process requirements in the future. For example, considering the requirements for processing large margin iron castings in the future, high sealing protective cover, large flow shower cooling mode, paper coolant filter device, etc. shall be selected. In a word, we should select the auxiliary parts suitable for the production capacity.
