Why do You Need a CNC Router?

A CNC router machine is a processing machine tool that is widely used in machine tool equipment. It can perform plane milling, plane cavity milling, outline milling, three-dimensional and more complex surface milling, and can also perform drilling, boring, thread cutting, and other holes. The powerful functions of the CNC router machine enable it to be widely used in the industrial field. Next, let us bring you the functions and features of using a CNC router machine to learn more about why people use a CNC router machine.

Application of CNC router machine

CNC router machines are mainly used to process parts of various complex shapes, such as precision instruments, molds, auto parts, aviation parts, etc. Traditional mechanical processing often requires manual adjustment, and the human factor is large, so the processing accuracy is difficult to guarantee. However, the CNC router machine can precisely control the processing process through the computer program, which reduces the influence of human factors and improves the processing accuracy and efficiency.

Features

1. Flexible and multi-purpose: CNC milling machines and machining centers are suitable for machining workpieces of many different structures and shapes.
2. High processing precision: The machining accuracy of CNC router machines and machining centers is high, and the accuracy of workpieces can be guaranteed under normal conditions. In addition, CNC processing also avoids operator errors, and the size of parts processed in the same batch has excellent dimensional uniformity, which greatly improves product quality.
3. High production efficiency: CNC router machines and machining centers have the functions of router machines, boring machines, and drilling machines, which makes the process highly concentrated, greatly improves production efficiency, and reduces errors. The spindle speed of the CNC router machine offers infinitely variable speeds to help you choose the best cutting amount. The CNC milling machine has the functions of fast forward, fast winding, and fast forward, which can greatly reduce the maneuvering time.
4. Complicated shapes can be processed: In addition to milling the surfaces of various parts that ordinary router machines can mill, ordinary milling machines can also mill out plane curve profiles and space surface profiles that cannot be milled by ordinary router machines. This is because the CNC machine tool has multiple axial link functions for feed coordinates.
5. Reduce the labor intensity of the operator: CNC router machines can automatically complete the processing of parts according to pre-programmed processing steps. In addition to operating the keyboard, loading and unloading tools, measuring workpieces and intermediate parts, and observing the movement of the machine tool, the operator does not need to perform heavy and repetitive manual operations, which greatly reduces labor intensity.

Machinable parts of CNC router machine

1. Processing parts with complex shapes: Compared with ordinary router machines, CNC router machines have the characteristics of high machining accuracy, complex shapes of machined parts, and wide machining range. According to the characteristics of CNC router machines, the content suitable for CNC router machine processing mainly includes the following categories: complex structures such as curved contours or curved surfaces. The planar curved profile of the workpiece means that the part has complex curved internal and external profiles, and the processed surface is parallel or perpendicular to the horizontal plane. In the process of a CNC router, we usually only need to use the two-coordinate linkage of the three-coordinate CNC router machine to process them. The curved surface of the workpiece generally refers to the surface whose points on the surface change in three-dimensional space coordinates, which is usually designed by a mathematical model. During machining, there is always point contact between the milling cutter and the machined surface.
2. Workpiece structures that are difficult to process with ordinary router machines: For parts that are difficult to observe and control such as size, scribing, and inspection, ordinary milling machines are suitable for CNC milling.
3. Ordinary router machines cannot achieve precision: When processing with ordinary router machines, it is difficult to guarantee the dimensional accuracy, shape/position accuracy and surface roughness of the workpiece, so it is necessary to choose a CNC router machine for processing.
4. Parts with good consistency requirements: In mass production, the CNC router machine itself has high positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy, which can avoid various errors caused by human factors in the processing of ordinary milling machines, and has a high success rate. The consistency of batch parts improves the machining accuracy and makes the quality more stable.
