Difference Between in-Line Type And Vdi Type Of CNC Turret Machine Tool

 CNC turret machine tool refers to a turret machine tool equipped with electric or hydraulic or servo motors. A CNC lathe with these turrets can be fitted with a wide variety of tools such as cutting tools, drilling tools, milling tools, and so on.

The CNC turret machine tool is only installed with a manually rotated turret at first, which is inefficient and has poor positioning accuracy. The birth of the CNC turret has solved many drawbacks and improved the processing efficiency of CNC machine tools, which is innovative and creative.

CNC lathes are equipped with different turrets to achieve different functions, and there are various styles for different CNC machine tools. Therefore, when choosing a CNC lathe or a CNC turning-milling compound machine tool, what kind of turret is equipped is particularly important.

The CNC turrets in the CNC turret machine tool have many features, I will introduce them to you.

1. Highly flexible

Machining parts on CNC machine tools mainly depends on the processing program. It is different from ordinary machine tools. It does not need to be manufactured, replace many molds and fixtures, and does not need to readjust the machine tool frequently. Therefore, CNC machine tools are suitable for occasions where the processed parts are frequently replaced, that is, suitable for the production of single-piece, small-batch products and the development of new products, thereby shortening the production preparation cycle and saving a lot of process equipment costs.

2. High machining accuracy

The machining accuracy of CNC machine tools can generally reach 0.05-0.1MM. The CNC machine tools are controlled in the form of digital signals. Each time the CNC device outputs a pulse signal, the moving parts of the machine tool move by a pulse equivalent (usually 0.001MM), and the machine tool advances. The backlash of the transmission chain and the average error of the screw pitch can be compensated by the numerical control device, so the positioning accuracy of the numerical control machine tool is relatively high. Machining the same batch of parts, on the same machine tool, under the same processing conditions, using the same tool and processing program, the tool travel path is exactly the same, the consistency of the parts is good, and the quality is stable.

3. High productivity

The CNC machine tool can effectively reduce the processing time and auxiliary time of the parts. The CNC machine tool has a large range of spindle sound speed and feed rate, allowing the machine tool to perform powerful cutting with a large amount of cutting. CNC machine tools are entering the era of high-speed machining. The rapid movement and positioning of moving parts of CNC machine tools and high-speed cutting have greatly improved productivity. In addition, when used in conjunction with the tool magazine of the machining center, it can realize continuous processing of multiple processes on one machine tool, reduce the turnaround time between processes of semi-finished products, and improve productivity.

4. Improve working conditions

Before the CNC machine tool is adjusted, the program is input and started, and the machine tool can automatically and continuously process until the end of the process. What the operator has to do is only program input, editing, parts loading, and unloading, tool preparation, processing state observation, parts inspection, etc. The labor intensity is greatly reduced, and the labor of machine tool operators tends to be intellectual work. In addition, machine tools are generally combined, which is both clean and safe.

CNC turret machine tool can be understood as a CNC lathe that can achieve high precision and high efficiency in modern society. Since it rarely appears in daily life, most small partners should be relatively unfamiliar with it. CNC turret machine tools are generally Divided into in-line and VDI:

1. In-line turret

The in-line turret is to install the CNC turret machine tool directly on the tool holder. Since the in-line turret has few intermediate adapters, the tool has good rigidity after clamping, but it takes time to change the tool. When selecting a tool, the form and size of the tool should be determined according to the width of the turret slot. When installing boring and drilling tools, adapters are required. The tool holder is made of self-boring holes and is not interchangeable. When installing, it should be noted that the machine tool and tool number must be matched. The size of the boring tool and drill bit should refer to the form and size of the adapter holder, and a transition sleeve can be added if necessary.

2. VDI turret

VDI-type turrets cannot be installed directly, and various forms of VDI adapters are required. Since these tool holders are mounted on the turret surface, the cantilever is longer and not as rigid as the in-line type. The interface between the VDI turret and the tool holder is mainly determined by the hole diameter of the tool on the end face of the turret. If the hole diameter of the tool is 40mm, the VDI tool holder should choose the VDI40 interface.

In addition, when choosing a tool holder, it should be noted that the VDI tool holder is divided into left and right tool holders, positive and negative tool holders, etc. This should be determined according to the orientation of the machine tool turret and the processing technology.

The right tool holder is used for the turret rear-mounted machine tool; otherwise, the left tool holder is used. Positive and negative tool holders, etc… This is determined according to the orientation of the machine tool turret and the processing technology.

The turret rear-mounted machine tool uses the right tool holder; otherwise, it is the left tool holder.

The selection of positive and negative tool holders must consider two factors at the same time, namely the front and rear of the machine tool turret and the positive and negative rotation of the spindle, which must be correctly selected for normal use.

CNC Turning Centers With Live Tool CK50

 CNC turning centers are the mainstream modern CNC lathes. This kind of  CNC lathe machine is equipped with a power head for complex metal machining.

The CNC turning process involves material being secured to a spindle within a CNC machine, and a cutting tool moving in a linear fashion acts upon the material and removes undesired material until the finished component that is left. CNC turning centers with live tools and lathes may seem identical, but they generally refer to slightly different machines. Lathes generally only turn while turning centers can be more advanced. These CNC lathe machines can be capable of facing, threading, knurling, drilling, boring, reaming, and taper turning.

CNC Instrument Lathe

 CNC instrument lathe is actually a branch of the CNC lathe. The biggest feature of the CNC instrument lathe is that the workpiece is mainly clamped with a spring chuck. This method is especially suitable for the clamping of batches of small workpieces. Only one push of the handle is needed to complete the clamping of the workpiece, and the clamping speed is less than one-third of the workpiece clamped by the manual chuck, the manual chuck clamps the workpiece and requires three movements, even much faster than hydraulic chuck clamping. A skilled worker can often operate 2-3 CNC instrument machines at the same time. Of course, CNC instrument lathes can also use manual chucks and hydraulic chucks to clamp workpieces, which should be optional accessories.

Introduction

CNC instrument lathe, also known as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) instrument lathe, is a computer numerically controlled lathe.

Ordinary horizontal lathes rely on the manual operation of machine tools to complete various cutting processes, while the CNC lathe machine input the prepared processing programs into the CNC system, and the CNC system completes operations through the lathe. The servo motors of the X and Z coordinate axes control the action sequence, movement amount, and feed speed of the moving parts of the lathe, coupled with the steering of the spindle speed, and the automatic tool change system, so that various shafts with different shapes can be processed, such as slass or disc-like parts of revolution. Therefore, CNC instrument lathes are the most widely used machine tools at present.

Instrument lathe is a general term, it is mainly processing some small but not very precise parts. The instrument lathe can be used to process the oil needles, screws of the motorcycle carburetor. The more rudimentary ordinary instrument lathe has only one motor and one-bed body, which is very simple.

Principle

The instrument lathe adopts a spring chuck for quick clamping, the motor directly drives the main shaft, the large and small discs are operated quickly by hand, and the turning is controlled by vertical and horizontal positioning. The instrument lathe can be used to process external circle, internal circle, cutting off, end face, cutting groove, turning taper, drilling, reaming, tapping, milling, grinding, and other functions. It is widely used in electrical appliances, fasteners, automobile, motorcycle accessories, instrumentation, hardware appliances, cultural and educational supplies, film and television equipment, mechanical and electrical products, plumbing fittings, valves, bearing rings, shafts and other small parts, glasses manufacturing and other small workpieces It is the most ideal high-efficiency equipment in the hardware machining industry.

Due to the use of hand-push tool feed, quick clamping of spring chuck, thimble-type limit device, and rapid hand-operated operation, the motor directly drives the spindle to run, and the positioning controls the turning. Continuous processing of a single fixed type of workpiece and appearance is comparable. Ordinary lathes improve work efficiency by more than 10 times and are especially suitable for the processing of large batches and small parts. The CNC instrument lathe can replace other machine tools to save energy consumption.

Operation method

1. In addition to using manual spring chucks to clamp workpieces, CNC instrument lathes can also use pneumatic spring chucks and hydraulic spring chucks to clamp workpieces.
2. For short bars, spring backers must be set in the collet, not only can it be directly clamped in place without re-setting the tool, but also the workpiece can be automatically ejected after processing.
3. For the mass production of long bars with a diameter of less than 20 mm, an automatic long material feeding system must be installed, which can greatly improve work efficiency. As for the method of pulling or pushing, it should be determined according to the workpiece.
4. For mass-produced workpieces that can use short material automatic feeding, try to install an automatic feeding system.
5. Those who can use the tool holder to clamp the tool should use the tool holder as much as possible. The tool holder can avoid the repeated positioning error and failure rate of the electric tool holder.
6. If you want to increase the number of clamping tools, you can use the coexistence of electric tool rests and row tool rests. Our term is called dual-use electric row.
