Mechanical processing automation production equipment occupies a major position in modern industry. The popularity of machine tool processing has led to the emergence of diversified CNC tools on the market. Among them, CNC tools are suitable for processing parts with a wide variety and small batches. In addition to the performance of ordinary tools, The standardization, systematization, and modularization of the tool system should also be reasonably established to meet the production requirements. Among them, improving the efficiency of production and processing needs to meet the following nine elements.
1. Ensure that the cutting performance of the tool is stable and reliable
The cutting performance and life of the tool should be stable and reliable. When processing with a CNC machine tool, the tool should be periodically forced to change the tool or the tool life should be managed by the control system. The cutting performance and tool life of the same batch of CNC tools must not be greatly different. Frequent downtime to replace the tool or cause a large number of scrapped workpieces.
2, to ensure a long service life of the tool
The tool should have high life, and the coating tool with high cutting performance and wear resistance should be selected and the cutting amount should be selected reasonably.
3. Avoid tool wear
To ensure reliable chip breaking, chip curling, and chip evacuation, the disordered chip system will bring great harm to automated production, resulting in tool chipping and various levels of wear and tear due to various factors.
4. Ensure the state transition of the tool
It guarantees fast indexing, blade changing, and automatic tool changing operations.
5. Scientific and reasonable adjustment of tool status
It can quickly and accurately adjust the machining size of the tool to the part, the original positioning point of the tool, etc.
6. Select the tool according to the CNC characteristics
It is necessary to start from the characteristics of CNC machining and customize the standardized, serialized, and generalized structural system of CNC tools so that suitable tools can be quickly purchased.
7. Establish database and management system
A complete database and management system should be established. There are many types of CNC tools, and the management is more complicated. It is necessary to automatically identify all tools, memorize their specifications and dimensions, store their positions, cut time and remaining life, etc., and then replace the tools. , delivery, tool size pre-adjustment, etc.
8. Write a complete tool information system
With complete tool assembly, familiar with machine tool preset, coding identification, and identification system.
9. Monitor tool status at all times
Set up an online monitoring system for tool wear and breakage.
