CNC Machining: The Application Range and Future Development Trend of Small Batch CNC Machining

In industrial production, there are many CNC machining parts that cannot be mass-produced by machines, involving issues such as process, cost, and quantity of use, so it is necessary to carry out small-scale or small-batch CNC machining through some special processes and manual machining may also be involved in the middle. We mainly use CNC machining for small batch machining.

The origin of CNC machining:

CNC, also known as computer gong or CNC machine tool, is actually a name in Hong Kong. Later, it was introduced to the Pearl River Delta in mainland China. of automated machine tools. The control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, and decode them, so as to make the machine tool move and CNC process parts.

The scope of use of small batch CNC machining:

We mentioned earlier that many parts cannot be processed by machines in large batches due to issues related to technology, cost, and the number of CNC machining. We can only use small batch CNC machining to achieve it. What is the scope of use of small batch CNC machining?

Generally speaking, the scope of use of small batch CNC machining is:

1. Multi-variety and small-batch CNC machining parts;

2. CNC machining parts with complex geometry;

3. CNC machining parts that require frequent modification;

4. Valuable and key CNC machining parts that are not allowed to be scrapped;

5. Large batches, CNC machining parts that must strictly control tolerances;

6. Urgently need CNC machining parts with the shortest cycle.

Small batch CNC machining is generally the usual machining processes such as turning, milling, planing, grinding, pliers, etc., and the fitter's blanking, line drawing, drilling, tapping, etc.

The future development trend of small batch CNC machining:

The current development trend of small batch CNC machining:

1. High speed, high precision and high efficiency;

2. Flexibility;

3. Real-time intelligence.

Compared with ordinary machine tools, CNC machining has the following advantages:

1. High CNC machining accuracy and high CNC machining quality;

2. It can carry out multi-coordinate linkage, and can CNC process parts with complex shapes;

3. When CNC machining parts are changed, generally only the CNC program needs to be changed, which can save production preparation time;

4. The machine tool itself has high precision and high rigidity, and can choose a favorable CNC machining amount, and the productivity is high (generally 3~5 times that of ordinary machine tools);

5. The machine tool has a high degree of automation, which can reduce labor intensity;

6. Batch CNC machining and production, product quality is easy to control.

But CNC machining also has the following disadvantages:

1. The quality requirements for operators are relatively low, and the technical requirements for maintenance personnel are relatively high;

2. But its CNC machining route is not easy to control, not as intuitive as ordinary machine tools;

3. Its maintenance is inconvenient and its technical requirements are relatively high;

4. The process is not easy to control.
