2021-10-04
Tooling for a vertical machining center is a necessary step before officially starting work. The purpose of tooling is to determine the position of the program origin on the coordinate axes of the machining center. The tooling point can be set on the workpiece to be machined, or on the fixture or machining center, with the tool point coinciding with the tool position point. After understanding the principle of tooling, let's look at the specific steps:
The first step is the correct start-up sequence
Turn on the machining center power and CNC system power in sequence, then turn on the equipment emergency stop switch to prevent accidents.
The second step is to set the spindle speed
The operating state of the vertical machining center is set to MDI, which means manual data input. In MDI operation mode, you can input a short program command and press the start button to execute the command to perform a simple process, which is very suitable for tooling operation. Manual mode is generally used for centering, tooling, inspection, and other tasks.
The third step is to start tooling—establishing the workpiece coordinate system
Generally, the origin of the workpiece coordinate system is established at the center of the right end of the workpiece, and the handwheel method is selected for tooling. First, rotate the X-axis, then select the X-axis and Z-axis to move in the negative direction to approach the right end face;
Z origin: Select the X-axis and Z-axis movement respectively to make the tip of the tool lightly touch the right end face, cut the end face flat in a small amount, then exit in the positive X direction, and stop the spindle.
Pay attention to the machining allowance reserved in the X-axis direction. In the manual data input mode, press the OFFSET key, then move the cursor to the tool compensation parentheses corresponding to the program, enter the allowance, click input, and the tooling process is complete.
The tooling operation is not difficult and is simple and easy to understand. For friends learning to operate a vertical machining center, this is the first practical step that needs to be mastered.
