At present, there are many methods and equipment used in machining centers, among which four-axis CNC machining center is a more common machining method. At first, three-axis machining was generally used. In terms of performance, function and adaptability, four-axis machining is better. Today we will follow the editor to learn about the performance and processing characteristics of the 4-axis CNC machining center.
Although cnc four-axis machining is very common in the industry, there is not much theoretical data in the process of development. Therefore, various problems are often encountered in actual applications, such as tool problems. It will also affect the efficiency of the overall equipment.
Four-axis machining centers are mainly divided into two types: horizontal and vertical. The two types have their own characteristics. Generally, if the application is horizontal, you can add a B axis to the Y axis. The programming method is similar to that of the 3 axis; it can rotate 4 sides to achieve the highest accuracy requirements. Compared with three-axis, four-axis is generally used for needs that cannot be processed by three-axis machine tools, such as parts that cannot be processed at the limit of depth and angle, common fan blades, worms and other products.
In fact, many CNC four-axis machining centers evolved from CNC milling machines. The difference between the two is whether they have the ability to automatically exchange machining tools. The former can well complete automatic exchange, have automatic tool change in one clamping, and complete a variety of processing functions. In addition, the four-axis machining center can also complete the linkage control of more than three axes, which can better process complex surface equipment.
To sum up, the four-axis machining center is a kind of high-efficiency and high-precision CNC machine tool. It only needs one clamping to complete the processing of multiple procedures. At the same time, it also has a complete tool function and automatic tool change function.
