High-precision structural features

Sturdy bed: made of high-grade cast iron or steel, it is the stable foundation of the machine tool, which can reduce the vibration during operation, allow the cutting tool to move smoothly, and improve the machining surface accuracy.

High-precision spindle: It is the core of the lathe, equipped with advanced bearing system to rotate the workpiece with high precision. High-quality bearings can reduce radial and axial runout and ensure perfect centering of the workpiece during machining to achieve high-precision machining.

Precision guideway: The guideway on which the drag plate and saddle move is ground with high precision, and the tool can move along the straight line with very small deviation and follow the programmed path precisely, realizing high-precision machining of complex geometrical shapes.

Working Principle of High-Precision Machining

Advanced Programming: The operator uses CAD/CAM software to create a detailed machining program that takes into account workpiece dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish requirements to generate complex tool paths and accurately machine complex shapes.

Precision control system: As the “brain” of the lathe, it receives the machining program and converts it into precise electrical signals, which are sent to the servo motors to drive the movement of each component. The position of the components is continuously monitored by encoders and other feedback sensors to ensure that the actual movement is consistent with the programmed path.

Automatic tool changer: It can change tools quickly and accurately during the machining process. The precise positioning of the tool in the tool holder and the tool changing mechanism ensures the accurate position of the tool during machining, reduces manual adjustments and human errors, and maintains high-precision machining.

Advantages of high precision machining

Tight tolerance: It can achieve a high precision tolerance of ±0.001mm, which meets the requirements of aerospace and other industries that require extremely high precision in component assembly.

Stable quality: The automated precision control system makes the quality of processed parts highly consistent, reduces quality inspection, and lowers the rate of defective products.

Complex Geometry Machining: High-precision motion capabilities allow for the machining of multi-curved surfaces or workpieces with complex internal features, accurately following the programmed paths to create the desired shape.

High Precision Industry Applications

Aerospace: Machining critical parts such as turbine blades, engine housings and landing gear components to ensure that they can withstand the extreme conditions of flight and meet stringent quality standards.

Medical Device Manufacturing: To produce medical implants, surgical instruments, etc. with high precision to ensure proper function and human compatibility.

Optical and Precision Instrument Manufacturing: Manufacturing optical lenses, mirrors and precision measuring instruments with high precision surface finish and tolerances to meet strict optical and mechanical requirements.

In short, CNC vertical lathe is a model of precision machining technology, which is indispensable in industries with extremely high requirements for precision and quality due to its advanced structure, precise working principle and high-precision machining capability.
