In material processing places, people attach great importance to processing equipment. The application of traditional processing methods usually requires complex operating procedures and the cooperation of a large number of personnel to complete the processing process. Although the production tasks can also be completed, as the processing efficiency requirements of various industries Improvement, in order to improve the work progress and complete the processing tasks in the shortest time, it is necessary to start with the adjustment of equipment and operation methods, so now many processing places will pay attention to the application of vertical machining centers. So what is the working principle of the vertical machining center? What are the advantages of this device in the working process? During the processing of the workpiece, the use of the equipment only requires the staff to input parameters according to the information processing standards. The application of the equipment is very simple. After starting up, only a simple clamping operation is required, and the equipment will enter the automatic program. The operation mode of the equipment this time is in accordance with The parameter setting is carried out without human assistance, so the workflow has been simplified a lot compared with traditional equipment, and the running time is also shorter. More importantly, the tool can now be changed at will, and the machine tool can decide whether to add tools or change the processing speed.

Now the vertical machining center is equipped with many types of tools, so the equipment can meet the needs of different industries and processing places, but the staff must understand the working principle and application method of the vertical machining center in detail before the actual operation. equipment. After the workpiece is once clamped in the machining center, the CNC system can control the machine tool according to different processes, automatically select and replace the tool, automatically change the machine tool spindle speed, feed rate and auxiliary functions such as the tool relative to the workpiece motion track, and complete multiple surfaces of the workpiece in sequence. multi-process processing.

And it has a variety of tool changing or tool selection functions, which greatly improves the production efficiency. Vertical machining center refers to a set of machining centers with vertical spindle and workbench, mainly suitable for processing plates, plates, molds and complex parts of small shells. The vertical machining center can complete milling, boring, drilling, tapping and cutting threads and other processes.

The vertical machining center has at least three axes and two linkages, and generally three axes and three linkages can be realized. Some can carry out five-axis and six-axis control. The height of the column of the vertical machining center is limited, and the processing range of the box-shaped workpiece is reduced, which is the shortcoming of the vertical machining center.

The workpiece can be clamped in the vertical machining center, and the positioning is convenient; it is convenient to observe the tool movement track, check and measure the debugging program, find problems in time, stop processing or modify; the cooling condition is easy to establish, and the cutting fluid can directly reach the tool and the processing surface. The three coordinate axes are consistent with the Cartesian coordinate system, which is intuitive and consistent with the visual angle of the pattern, and the chips are easily removed to avoid scratching the processed surface. Compared with the corresponding horizontal machining center, it has simple structure, small footprint and low price.
