Operating procedures for CNC vertical turning lathe

The CNC vertical turning lathe is an advanced manufacturing tool that has been widely used in the manufacturing industry. Unlike a normal lathe, the CNC vertical turning lathe has a vertical spindle, which is equivalent to placing a normal lathe vertically. As its table is in a horizontal position, it is suitable for machining heavy parts with large diameters and short lengths. Machining of internal and external cylinders, conical surfaces, end faces, grooves, chamfers, etc. can be carried out, and operations such as clamping and calibration of workpieces are relatively easy.

In the process of using CNC vertical turning lathe, we need to pay attention to the following matters:

1, the gross surface of the workpiece is not allowed to be placed directly on the table surface, the application of the pad iron or spiral top support. It is strictly forbidden to use the table surface for other operations, such as correcting the workpiece with a hammer, welding workpieces and so on. This ensures that the workpiece remains stable during machining and reduces the risk of errors and machine damage.

2. When correcting the workpiece, only low-speed rotary correction of the table is allowed, not high-speed correction. This ensures that the workpiece remains stable during machining, reducing the risk of errors and machine damage.

3、 When opening and stopping the table, the table opening and stopping handle can only be triggered by hand, no foot pedal is allowed. This will ensure the safety and correctness of the operation.

4、 When the table is rotating, it is not allowed to lift the beam and move the tool holder quickly. This will ensure the safety and correctness of the operation.

5、 When moving the beam, the clamping device must be loosened first, and should be clamped immediately after moving. The crossbeam should be raised a little after each drop to eliminate the screw and nut clearance. This will ensure the accuracy of the operation and the stability of the machine.

6. Do not allow gravity cutting machining with a vertical tool holder and a side tool holder with a long ram extension. When using a vertical tool holder for machining, especially for gravity cutting, the beam should be lowered to as close to the working position as possible. This will ensure safe and correct operation.

7. When interrupted cutting, reduce the amount of tool feed and table speed as appropriate. This will ensure the accuracy of the operation and the stability of the machine.

8、 The joystick must be pushed to the specified position when changing speed. If the gears are not well engaged, they should be adjusted by micro-movement after work, and no forced operation is allowed. This can ensure the accuracy of the operation and the stability of the machine.

The above is the CNC vertical turning operation procedures, I believe these procedures can help you to better use the CNC vertical turning tools, improve efficiency and quality.
