For the current field of CNC lathes, dual spindle CNC lathes can be said to occupy half of the country. Both in terms of processing efficiency and accuracy, dual spindle CNC lathes are slightly superior. However, when purchasing CNC lathes, we cannot blindly purchase dual spindle CNC lathes. We need to consider multiple aspects comprehensively to purchase a lathe with high cost-effectiveness. Today, our CNC lathe manufacturer will explain the four tips for choosing a high cost-effective dual spindle CNC lathe.
Firstly, products that require large-scale processing are generally suitable for automatic machine tool processing. Automatic machine tools can achieve fully automatic processing of workpieces, using specialized automatic feeding mechanisms and fixtures, with high efficiency. However, many parts adopt special designs to improve efficiency. Therefore, once the batch size of the workpiece is too small, it is very troublesome to adjust the fixture and automatic feeding mechanism when using an automatic lathe for processing.
The structure of the product or workpiece should be suitable for automatic feeding and processing. When using automatic machine tools for processing, the structure of the workpiece should be suitable for automatic sorting and feeding. If the workpiece can be fed through automatic feeding mechanisms such as vibration plates, or if long axis parts are suitable for automatic feeding in the hopper, manual unloading on the guide rail is not suitable. In addition, it is suitable for fully automatic processing when the workpiece cross-section is circular or hexagonal, but it is difficult to achieve fully automatic processing when the shape is complex.
3. Is the material of the workpiece suitable for automatic processing. Generally speaking, materials such as brass, zinc alloy, and ordinary carbon steel have good machinability and less wear on cutting tools, making them suitable for automatic machine tool processing. However, parts with poor processability, such as high-speed steel, stainless steel, etc., are difficult to process, resulting in severe tool wear during processing, or difficult drainage during processing of materials such as copper. Some steel materials also have severe work hardening and are not suitable for automatic lathe processing.
4. Is the diameter, length, and processing technology of the workpiece suitable for automatic lathe processing.
The above are the four tips for choosing a cost-effective dual spindle CNC lathe that our CNC lathe manufacturer has compiled and published for you. We hope that the above description can be helpful for you when purchasing CNC lathes in the future.
