What is a CNC lathe? How to solve the difficulties encountered during the CNC lathe machining process?

CNC lathes are a widely used precision machining equipment in the current mechanical field. CNC lathes can process a variety of materials, such as common copper alloys, aluminum alloys, various steels, and some engineering plastics (such as peek, pom, and PTFE). WKTEC has LC15 \ LC36 \ LC46 oblique rail CNC lathes and Swiss models. Below, CNC lathe manufacturers will share several common lathe machining problems and solutions, Let's take a look together.
There are several common problems and difficulties in the machining process of CNC lathes:
1、 How to determine the good condition and service life of cutting tools?
In the automatic machining process of CNC lathes, it is necessary to use ear cutting to listen to sound, stop the cutting process for regular inspection or touch the tool tip, and analyze and judge based on surface smoothness!

2、 What should be done when the process or cutting path is not properly arranged and affects efficiency?
Try not to reuse the same knife multiple times, and never use a second one if it can be completed with one knife. When conditions permit, the cutting sequence and program sequence must be arranged according to the cutting path, and the idle time should be compressed as much as possible to reduce unnecessary positioning errors. In the absence of any impact on the tool or quality, optimize the program again to achieve the best processing state!
3、 How to reasonably select corresponding cutting tools based on material characteristics?
During the machining process, if the tool selection is incorrect, it can lead to unstable or impossible machining! And it affects efficiency and cannot produce good quality. So the selection of cutting tools is very important. When processing materials that are relatively hard, we should choose cutting tools with strong rigidity and large tool tips. The machine should also use principles such as low speed, slow feed, and less back cutting to debug! So when processing materials that are relatively soft, such as aluminum alloy, nylon rod, copper, and so on! So we can correspondingly increase the speed, feed rate, back cutting amount, and use corresponding alloy knives! Especially when the feed table is slow, it will form slag squeezing, entangle the workpiece, and not crush the slag. This will greatly affect efficiency and quality!
4、 What should be done when processing products with thin walls that are prone to deformation?
This kind of product is a bit difficult, and some may require multiple processes to complete. You can analyze and judge according to the product requirements! Be sure to use the three major processing elements of low speed, slow feed, and less back eating! And it is necessary to use cutting tools with small tips and sharp edges, and axial clamping (such as screw sleeves) should be used as much as possible for clamping. If radial clamping is used, there will always be deformation!CNC lathe
