The unique tool magazine of CNC lathe machining center can realize the function of automatic tool change and spindle orientation, which is more suitable for product processing in the assembly line, so the price is higher than that of general numerical control machine tools. Correct selection is the key to making good use of the machining center and making the CNC Machining center play a role.

CNC lathe machining center selection strategy:

1 Selection procedure

A correct and comprehensive understanding of the machining center is the basis for type selection and ordering. It is necessary to have a comprehensive and detailed understanding and grasp of the performance, characteristics, types, main parameters, functions, scope of application, and deficiencies of the machining center. On the basis of a full understanding, the following procedures can be developed.

Type selection

Considering factors such as the CNC lathe machining center process, the processing object with good equipment, range and price, choose according to the selected part family. For example, machining workpieces with more than two sides or holes and surfaces arranged radially around them, such as various boxes, horizontal machining centers should be selected; single-sided machining workpieces, such as various plate parts, should be selected vertical machining centers; when machining complex curved surfaces, such as wind guides, integral impellers on engines, etc., a five-axis machining center can be selected; the position accuracy of the workpiece is higher, and a horizontal machining center is used. When multi-sided machining needs to be completed in one clamping, a five-sided machining center can be selected; when the workpiece size is large, such as machine bed, column, etc., a gantry machining center can be selected. Of course, the above points are not certain, especially the numerical control machine tools are developing in the direction of compounding, and ultimately the decision must be made under the conditions of process requirements and capital balance.
