Convenient chip removal: with the optional inclined bed, chips fall naturally into the chip collection box and can be removed via the chain conveyor.
Good safety: fully enclosed protection is adopted.
High speed: the spindle can be rated from 1600 to 4500 rpm

What is a cnc turning centre?

A conventional economic cnc lathe has two axes, X and Z. Turning centres are available with multiple axes, 3, 4 and 5 axes. In addition to the turning and milling functions, they are also highly efficient. Reduced clamping time and time.

In summary, the CNC turning centres have the following characteristics.

(1) Highly adaptable, suitable for the processing of multi-species small batch parts.

In the traditional automatic or semi-automatic lathe processing a new part, generally need to adjust the machine tool or machine tool accessories to make it easy to use.

The machine tool is adapted to the requirements of the processed part, while the use of CNC lathes for processing different shaped parts only requires reprogramming or modification of the machining process

The program (software) can quickly meet the processing requirements, greatly reducing the technical preparation time for changing the machine tool hardware

Suitable for multi-species, single piece or small batch processing.

(2) High processing accuracy, good consistency

Due to the integration of high technology such as electromechanical, CNC machine tools are generally higher than the accuracy of ordinary machine tools. The development of CNC machine tools.

The machining process is controlled by the computer according to the pre-entered program, avoiding the problem of poor operator skill level.

Differences in product quality caused by differences. For some complex shapes of the workpiece, ordinary machine tools are almost impossible to complete.

And CNC machine tools only write more complex programs to achieve the purpose, if necessary, you can also use computer-aided programming or computer computing

Computer-aided processing. In addition, the processing of CNC machine tools is not affected by the physical and emotional changes of the operator.

(3) with higher productivity and lower processing costs

The productivity of a machine tool is primarily the time required to machine a part, including manoeuvring time and auxiliary time. Digital

The spindle speed and feed rate of the lathe can be controlled over a wide range with stepless speed regulation. The optimum cutting speed can be selected during machining.

In order to optimise the cutting parameters, productivity is greatly increased and

Machining costs are reduced, especially for mass-produced parts, the larger the batch, the lower the machining costs.

For mass production, especially for large batches, machining efficiency and efficiency should be emphasised under the premise of ensuring the quality of the machining

The stability of the process, which is different from that of a single small batch. For example, fixture selection, tool path arrangement, tool arrangement

The position and order of use should be carefully considered, as described in the next section.

The opposite of series production is single-part production. The most important feature of single-part production is the guarantee of a first pass rate, especially in terms of one-off quality.

Parts with complex shapes and high precision requirements. The second is the success rate compared to single-part production. Single-part production

The CNC process used differs from mass production in terms of tool paths, tool arrangement, tool change point settings, etc. and mass production

Compared to production, single-part production should avoid long production lead times.

What are the types of turning centres?

Turning centres generally refer to the addition of several axes to a CNC lathe so that the lathe has both turning and milling functions. 3-axis lathes, 4-axis, 5-axis.
According to the angle of bed inclination can be divided into flat bed cutting centre and inclined bed cutting centre.
According to the position of the spindle can be divided into vertical turning centres and horizontal turning centres.
Depending on the diameter of the rotary and the length of the machining, they can be divided into heavy turning centres and light turning centres.

What is the general safety of CNC turning?

The main safety matters for CNC turning centres during the turning process are as follows.

1 The cutting fluid can spill onto the rotating workpiece when the spindle is rotating at high speed.
2 Risk of scrapping workpieces rotating at high speed
3. Risk of electric shock due to leakage of electricity
4. Risk of tool collision due to program error.
To address the above risks, employees are required to operate in accordance with the safety manual
1. Close the guard door during machining to prevent spilling of cutting fluid
2. When using a reliable chuck, always check and lock the chucked workpiece when clamping. Also close the guard door and do not stand directly opposite the workpiece.
3、Use electricity safely and ground correctly. Repair non-electric equipment.
4 Check procedures before handling to ensure they are correct.

What are the products manufactured by CNC milling and lathe?

- Products made by CNC milling  
Box parts, complex curved parts
such as various impellers, air guide wheels, spherical surfaces, various curved forming moulds, propellers and underwater vehicle propellers, as well as some other shapes of free-form surfaces, such parts can be machined by machining centres. Integral impellers, injection moulds, rubber moulds, vacuum forming moulds, refrigerator foam moulds, pressure casting moulds, precision casting moulds, etc.
--Products made by lathes
CNC lathes can machine so many products that it is difficult to list them all. In short, CNC lathes mainly machine turned parts, such as shafts, sleeves, discs etc.

What CNC machines are used to turn parts?

Turning is a form of machining where the workpiece rotates and the motor drives the tool holder, which drives the tool feed. There are several types of lathes that can perform this type of machining.
CNC horizontal lathes, CNC vertical lathes, CNC lathes.

What kind of workpiece is a CNC lathe suitable for processing?

1、Rotary parts with complex contours or difficult to control dimensions
As the CNC turning centre has linear and circular interpolation function, some CNC turning centres have partial non-circular interpolation function.
With curve interpolation function, you can turn any plane curve profile composed of rotating parts, including parts after fitting calculations.

2, high precision parts parts
The accuracy requirements mainly refer to the size, shape, position and surface accuracy requirements, where the surface accuracy mainly refers to
surface roughness. For example, cylindrical parts with high dimensional accuracy and high cylindricity requirements.
Tapered parts with high requirements for straightness, roundness and skewness; parts with high requirements for line profile (fine profile shape)
On special precision CNC lathes, the accuracy of geometric contours can also be processed to a very high level.

3、Processing of hardened workpieces
In the processing of large moulds, there are many parts with large dimensions and complex shapes. The deformation of these parts after heat treatment is very small.
The size of hardened parts is large and grinding is difficult.
Turning is used instead of grinding to improve the processing efficiency.

4. Machining complex
The workpieces need to be turned, faced, side milled and drilled. These workpieces generally require three machine tools, lathe, milling machine, drilling machine, loading and unloading is very troublesome, you can buy a turning centre processing.
