CNC machinery, or Computer Numerical Control Machinery, is an automated mechanical equipment digitally controlled by a computer. It abandons the traditional manual operation of machine tools and uses digital programs to accurately control the movement and processing of machine tools, greatly improving processing accuracy and production efficiency.
The working principle of CNC machinery is based on digital control technology. The operator first draws a three-dimensional model of the part based on the design drawings of the processed parts using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and then converts the model into a CNC machining program using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. The program contains detailed machining information such as tool paths and cutting parameters. The program is then input into the control system of the CNC machine tool. The control system accurately controls the movement of each coordinate axis of the machine tool through the servo drive device according to the program instructions, thereby driving the tool to perform cutting, drilling, milling and other machining operations on the workpiece, and finally machining parts that meet the design requirements.
CNC machinery is mainly composed of a control system, a machine tool body, a servo drive system, and a detection feedback device. The control system is the core of CNC machinery. It is responsible for interpreting and executing CNC programs and controlling various movements of the machine tool. The machine tool body is the basic component for processing, including the bed, column, workbench, etc. Its structural design and manufacturing accuracy directly affect the processing accuracy and stability. The servo drive system accurately controls the movement speed and position of each coordinate axis of the machine tool according to the instructions of the control system. Commonly used servo motors are DC servo motors and AC servo motors. The detection feedback device monitors the movement state and processing position of the machine tool in real time, and feeds back the detected signal to the control system so that the control system can adjust the control instructions in time to ensure processing accuracy.
According to different processing technologies and functions, CNC machinery is mainly divided into CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, CNC machining centers, CNC grinders and other types. CNC lathes are mainly used for machining rotating parts, such as shafts and discs; CNC milling machines can process various planes, curved surfaces, grooves, etc.; CNC machining centers are based on CNC milling machines and have added automatic tool changers and tool magazines, which can complete multiple processes in one clamping and are suitable for machining complex parts; CNC grinders are used to grind the surface of parts to obtain high-precision dimensions and surface quality.
CNC machinery is widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace, medical equipment, and mold manufacturing. In the field of machinery manufacturing, it is used to process various mechanical parts to improve production efficiency and product quality; in automobile manufacturing, it is used to process key parts such as automobile engines and transmissions; in the field of aerospace, it is used to manufacture precision parts for aircraft, rockets and other aircraft to meet their requirements for high precision and high performance; in the field of medical equipment, it processes various precision medical equipment parts to ensure the safety and reliability of medical equipment; in mold manufacturing, it can quickly and accurately manufacture various complex molds.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, CNC machinery is also developing continuously. In the future, CNC machinery will develop in the direction of intelligence, high speed, high precision and compound. In terms of intelligence, the introduction of artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies will enable machine tools to realize functions such as automatic diagnosis and adaptive control, improve production efficiency and processing quality; in terms of high speed, by improving the structure and drive system of machine tools, increasing cutting speed and feed speed, and shortening processing time; in terms of high precision, more advanced manufacturing processes and detection technologies are adopted to further improve the processing accuracy of machine tools; in terms of compound, multiple processing technologies are integrated on one machine tool, so that more processes can be processed in one clamping, reducing processing errors and production cycles.
