How to monitor and adjust during CNC machining process?

2024-04-15

After the workpiece is aligned and the program debugging is completed, it can enter the automatic machining stage. In the automatic machining process, the operator should monitor the cutting process to prevent abnormal cutting from causing quality problems and other accidents of the workpiece.

Monitoring the cutting process mainly considers the following aspects:

1. The monitoring of the machining process mainly considers the rapid removal of excess allowance on the surface of the workpiece during rough machining. In the automatic machining process of machine tools, the tool automatically cuts according to the predetermined cutting trajectory based on the set cutting amount. At this point, the operator should pay attention to observing the changes in cutting load during the automatic machining process through the cutting load table, adjust the cutting amount based on the tool's load-bearing condition, and maximize the efficiency of the machine tool.

2. Monitoring of cutting sound during the cutting process. In automatic cutting, the sound of the tool cutting the workpiece is generally stable, continuous, and light at the beginning of cutting, and the movement of the machine tool is stable. As the cutting process progresses, when there are hard spots on the workpiece, tool wear, or tool clamping, the cutting process becomes unstable. The manifestation of instability is a change in cutting sound, and there will be collision sounds between the tool and the workpiece, causing vibration in the machine tool. At this time, the cutting amount and cutting conditions should be adjusted in a timely manner. When the adjustment effect is not obvious, the machine tool should be paused and the condition of the cutting tools and workpiece should be checked.
