The control system monitors the machine tool status in real time, automatically compensates for tool wear, stabilizes the machining environment, and ensures machining accuracy.
In the field of modern precision machining, the requirements for the machining accuracy of complex parts are getting higher and higher. With its unique advantages, 5-axis CNC machining can achieve the machining of complex parts with an accuracy of ±0.01mm, meeting the needs of many high-end manufacturing industries. So, how does 5-axis CNC machining do this?
High-precision machine tool structure
The structural design of 5-axis CNC machining machine tools is the basis for achieving high-precision machining. The bed, column and other key components of the machine tool are made of high-rigidity materials, such as high-quality cast iron or high-strength alloy. These materials have good shock resistance and stability, and can effectively reduce the errors caused by vibration and deformation during the machining process. At the same time, the guide rails and lead screws of the machine tool adopt high-precision grinding technology to ensure the smoothness of movement and positioning accuracy. For example, the ball screw pair is used, and the gap between the lead screw and the nut is extremely small. The reverse gap is eliminated by pre-tightening, so that the worktable can be accurately positioned when moving, providing hardware guarantee for achieving ±0.01mm accuracy.
Accurate tool path planning
In 5-axis CNC machining, accurate tool path planning is crucial. Programmers need to use professional CAM software to design tool paths based on the 3D model of the parts. Taking CNC milling as an example, when machining complex surfaces, factors such as the cutting angle, cutting depth and feed speed of the tool should be fully considered. By optimizing the tool path, the tool can cut along the most reasonable trajectory, avoiding interference and collision between the tool and the workpiece, while reducing the fluctuation of the cutting force. For example, the use of strategies such as contour machining and spiral machining can keep the tool in a stable cutting state during the machining process and ensure the consistency of machining accuracy.
Advanced programming and control system
Advanced programming and control system is the core of 5-axis CNC machining to achieve high precision. The control system can monitor the operating status of the machine tool in real time and accurately control the position, speed and other parameters of the tool. For example, the use of nanometer-level interpolation algorithms can refine the command pulses to extremely small units, making the movement of the machine tool smoother and more precise. At the same time, the control system also has an automatic compensation function, which can automatically adjust the processing parameters according to factors such as thermal deformation of the machine tool and tool wear to ensure that the processing accuracy is always maintained within the range of ±0.01mm.
Stable processing environment
A stable processing environment is also an important condition for achieving high-precision processing. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity will affect the machine tool and the workpiece. In a precision processing workshop, a constant temperature and humidity system is usually equipped to control the temperature and humidity in the workshop within a certain range. For example, the temperature is controlled at 20℃±1℃ and the humidity is controlled at 40%-60%, which can effectively reduce the change in workpiece size and the decrease in machine tool accuracy caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
5-axis CNC machining achieves the processing of complex parts with a precision of ±0.01mm through the synergy of high-precision machine tool structure, precise tool path planning, advanced programming and control system, and stable processing environment. In the fields of CNC processing, machining, precision processing, etc., 5-axis CNC processing technology is playing an increasingly important role, driving the manufacturing industry to develop in the direction of higher precision and higher quality.
