Introduction to two commonly used tool setting methods for Shandong CNC lathes
The preparation work before the operation of the Shandong CNC lathe is one of the very important tasks. If there is a deviation in the tool alignment, it will affect the accuracy of the workpiece processing, resulting in a decrease in processing efficiency. Here we also mention that when using the tool setting instrument and tool setting mirror, it is important to pay attention to the accuracy and accuracy of the instrument. Today, we, Shandong CNC lathe, will explain the two commonly used tool setting methods to you.
1. Automatic knife alignment method
Automatic tool alignment is achieved using the tool detection function configured by the CNC machining center. This device can automatically and accurately measure the length of each tool in each coordinate direction, and can automatically correct the tool error value. The entire detection and correction process can be achieved on the basis of the normal operation of the machine tool. This tool setting method is completely achieved by electronic control devices, eliminating the error of manual tool setting, resulting in higher tool setting accuracy and better tool setting efficiency.
2. Knife setting instrument knife setting method
The use of a tool setting instrument for tool setting is the main method for tool setting in CNC machining centers due to its high economic efficiency. There are two types of tool alignment: internal tool alignment and external tool alignment. The external tool setting instrument needs to be calibrated outside the machine tool in advance, and then the tool can be installed on the machine tool for use; The internal tool alignment instrument is a method of measuring the tool by directly installing it in a fixed position on the machine tool.
The above are the two commonly used tool setting methods explained by our Shandong CNC lathe, hoping to be helpful for everyone in future tool setting operations for CNC lathes.
