How CNC milling works
CNC Milling achieves efficient and precise processing of workpieces through preliminary preparation, workpiece clamping and positioning, automatic cutting, processing completion and subsequent processing.
Programming
First, the processing program needs to be written according to the design drawings of the parts. These programs usually use G code or M code to describe the cutting tools, cutting parameters, cutting paths, etc.Then,Transmit the written CNC program to the control system of the CNC machine tool.
Workpiece Clamping
Place the workpiece on the workbench of the CNC milling machine and clamp it firmly by using a fixture or clamp.Use positioning elements such as positioning pins to preliminarily position the workpiece.Use the fine-tuning device to adjust the position of the workpiece to the final processing position.
Execute Processing
The operator inputs the programmed machining program to the CNC controller.The controller reads and interprets the CNC code, generates control signals,and drives the various moving parts of the machine tool.CNC machine tools automatically plan and execute tool paths according to CNC program instructions.
Inspection
During the machining process, the CNC system monitors the position of the tool and workpiece, cutting force and other parameters in real time.If an abnormal situation is found (such as excessive cutting force, tool wear, etc.), the system will automatically adjust the cutting parameters or issue an alarm.
Post-processing
In order to improve the precision and surface quality of the processed parts and eliminate possible processing defects, we will perform correction, grinding or polishing on the processed parts.Measure the workpiece's size, shape, and surface roughness to verify compliance with requirements.
