How to determine CNC processing route

Operation technicians need to make preparations when using CNC aluminum plate machining center. Of course, each operator has his own set of skills. Here, the author would like to say that both novice and experienced personnel should be prepared for use. What are the specific contents?

CNC machining of aluminum plate

The tool used in the inspection should be consistent with the specification allowed by the machine tool. The maximum tool length, maximum tool weight and total tool weight of CNC machining center for aluminum plate are determined.

Check whether the tool used is worn or damaged, sometimes it should be replaced immediately. Check for obstructions around machinery and control systems.

Some moving parts are lubricated with grease. Before working, check whether the machine tool has reached the time specified on the lubrication indicator plate, and supplement it in time.

Safety awareness must have, check whether the control system is closed. Whether the control switches are in good condition. Whether someone is in the mechanical danger area.

How does the operator determine the CNC processing route when using the aluminum plate CNC machining center? I would like to share with you:

CNC machining of aluminum plate

First of all, we need to understand what CNC processing route means? It refers to the path that the turning tool moves from the tool setting point (or the fixed origin of the machine tool) until it returns to the point and ends the processing program. It includes the path of cutting and the path of non cutting empty stroke such as cutting in and cutting out. In order to determine the CNC processing route, the following principles must be followed:

1. Shorten the processing time and reduce the processing time.

2. Ensure the accuracy and surface roughness of the workpiece to be processed.

3. For some repeated programs, subroutines should be used to simplify the workload of numerical calculation and the processing program.

In a word, in order to ensure the aluminum plate finish machining, we must do the preparatory work, and ensure that the aluminum plate CNC machining center processing route is correct.

How to determine CNC processing route

The feed machining route of CNC lathe refers to the path from the starting point of tool setting (or the constant origin of the machine tool) to the beginning and end of the machining program, including the path of cutting and the path of non cutting empty travel such as tool cutting in and cutting out.

The feeding route of finish machining is basically carried out in sequence along the appearance of the parts. Therefore, the key work of confirming the feeding route is to confirm the feeding route of rough machining and empty stroke.

In the CNC lathe processing, the processing route is generally in accordance with the following principles.

① The accuracy and surface roughness of the workpiece to be processed shall be ensured.

② Make the processing route short, reduce the empty travel time, and increase the processing efficiency.

③ Although the workload of numerical calculation is simplified, the machining procedure is simplified.

④ For some repeatedly used programs, subroutines should be used
