In the modern manufacturing industry, CNC machine tools have become indispensable processing equipment due to their high precision, high efficiency, high degree of automation and other characteristics. So, what parts can be processed by CNC machine tools? The following will be a detailed answer.
1. The processing range of CNC machine tools
CNC machine tool is a pre-written CNC program to control the tool’s trajectory and processing parameters of the machine tool. Because of its high degree of flexibility and programmability, CNC machine tools are able to process a variety of shapes, materials and sizes of parts.
Parts with different shapes
Shaped parts: such as brackets, forks and other irregularly shaped parts. These parts often require mixed machining in multiple stations, which CNC machines can easily handle.
Curved parts: the surface of parts composed of complex curves or surfaces, which require multiple axes to be linked for machining. CNC machines are able to meet the requirements of these parts for highly centralized process and assembly accuracy.
Plane type and parts with hole system: parts with parallel machining surfaces or consistent angles with the horizontal plane, such as parts with keyways or end faces with distributed hole systems. CNC machine tools can be processed according to different spindle movements.
Variable oblique angle parts: the machining surface and the angle of the horizontal plane is a continuous change in the parts, such as some parts of the aircraft and inspection fixtures.
Parts made of different materials
Metallic materials: the most commonly processed materials by CNC lathes, including steel, iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, etc., as well as special materials such as titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys, high-temperature alloys and so on.
Non-metallic materials: such as plastics, ceramics, etc. CNC lathes are equally capable of processing these materials to meet the needs of specific industries.
Parts of different sizes
Miniature parts: CNC machine tools are capable of tiny machining, realizing the production of miniaturized parts with high precision.
Large parts: CNC machine tools are capable of processing a wide range of materials and can also handle large parts.
