I. Introduction
With the diversification and increasing complexity of parts in the field of mechanical cold processing, the metal cutting industry is increasingly demanding CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools capable of producing high quality, high precision, high efficiency and low cost products. At the same time, as a CNC machine tool manufacturer, how to produce a CNC machine tool with complex processing capability based on the existing production capacity, which is simple, practical, efficient and economical, can survive and develop in the increasingly fierce market competition. The main goals and directions of research and development. For this reason, the design and manufacture of machine tools have been making unremitting efforts.
Second, CNC composite processing technology
The production of a part product usually requires multiple processes to complete. Different process methods have different processing principles and characteristics. Different processing processes have different processing purposes and requirements, so they each need different processing equipment. achieve.
In the traditional manufacturing process, the manufacture of a part often requires multiple, multiple different processing equipment to complete. This not only increases the number of equipment and the floor space of the production plant, which increases the investment of the enterprise, and also affects the factors such as waiting, transporting, inspecting and repositioning the clamping between the process and the process equipment during the production process. Processing accuracy also inevitably increases the production assistance time. Statistics show that this part of the non-processing time will account for about 70% to 95% of the total production cycle of parts, which greatly restricts the improvement of production efficiency.
CNC compound machining is to put several different machining processes on the same CNC machine to realize the machining of parts. For example, turning, milling and drilling can be performed on a CNC machine. CNC composite machining is one of the most popular advanced manufacturing technologies in the field of metal cutting in recent years. The biggest advantage of CNC machine tools with combined machining capability is that it can realize the processing of many different parts of the parts through one-time part clamping, thus reducing the number of machine tools and fixtures, eliminating the handling and storage between processes, and improving the machining accuracy of parts. The purpose of shortening the manufacturing cycle and saving the working area is to bring benefits to the user.
According to Figure 1 shows the machining diagram of the gas burner combustion nozzle parts. The traditional machining method requires three basic machining processes: machining the outer contour with a CNC lathe or a small hydraulic copying lathe; using the drilling machine to install the indexing chuck or Special fixtures are used to index the holes; special drill-changing chucks are used to drill and tap the sides.
When it is produced on a CNC lathe with composite function, simple NC programming can quickly and easily realize all the above processing steps through one-time process clamping, which greatly improves the processing efficiency.
3.1 Differences in mechanical structure
Turning-based CNC composite machining lathes are usually developed on the basis of ordinary CNC lathes, with a multi-station tool holder and power rotary cutters. The main processing objects are shafts and discs. Body parts. In addition to the main turning operations, partial milling, drilling and tapping are also possible. In order to realize the whole or most of the processing of the rotary parts by means of one clamping on one lathe, in addition to the general turning tools, it is also possible to install the upper milling on the bed of the lathe. Rotary auxiliary power units such as knives, drills and taps are the distinguishing features of the mechanical lathes with the turning and milling functions of CNC lathes that are distinguished from economical lathes.
3.2 Differences in CNC Control System
(1) C-axis function. For the CNC lathe with turning and milling functions, the spindle channel of the control system can not only perform the function of the S code spindle, but also control the spindle spindle speed change, and also realize the C axis function and C and the machine spindle can be accurately indexed. Z-axis, C and X-axis linkage function. The CNC lathe with such a composite function can not only perform turning machining on the inner and outer surfaces (including cylindrical surface, tapered surface, curved surface, etc.) and end surface of the rotary body part like the ordinary numerically controlled lathe, but also can use the CZ axis linkage function to thread the thread. The shaft indexing function and the power rotary tool mounted on the X or Z axis perform drilling and milling away from the center line of the rotating part, which greatly expands the ability of the CNC lathe.
(2) Multi-axis control capability. The standard economical CNC lathe usually has one spindle channel (servo spindle or inverter spindle) and two servo feed axis channels (X-axis, Z-axis), and the CNC lathe with turning and milling functions needs to be added. The auxiliary power unit is used for drilling and milling. Therefore, the controller needs to provide more servo shaft channels (such as A-axis and Y-axis) to control the auxiliary power unit to meet the control requirements, as shown in Figure 2.
Based on the above analysis, we understand that the transition from economical lathes to CNC lathes with complex machining capabilities is required to meet both the electrical control architecture and the mechanical design of the machine tool. For the latter, because each machine tool The manufacturer's machine design is not the same, and the openness of the PLC using the Zhongda Dentsu CNC system can fully meet the different mechanical design requirements. This article will not discuss the mechanical part, mainly introduces the electrical control of Zhongda Dentsu. The overall solution that the aspect can provide.
In addition to the PUTNC-H4CL-T reinforced lathe CNC system, the Zhongda Dentsu, which is rich in electromechanical automation products, can meet the control requirements of CNC lathes with integrated turning and milling functions, and can also provide Delta ASD series AC servo system. Delta's VFD-VE series AC inverters, CS7 spindle encoders and other complete industrial automation products to meet the needs of electrical control, enabling machinery manufacturers to be simple, practical, efficient and economical based on existing production capacity. The production of CNC machine tools with combined processing capabilities has brought greater benefits to machine manufacturers and end users.
4.1 Introduction to CNC Control System
Based on the market demand and future development of CNC machine tools with metal machining capabilities, Zhongda Dentsu introduced the PUTNC-H4CL-T enhanced lathe CNC system to the market at the end of 2006 (Figure 3).
