How do NC tool handles work with other key parts in CNC machining?

CNC tool handle is a key part of CNC machining, it is used to grip the tool, must master its cooperation with other key components to ensure the high efficiency and accuracy of CNC machining.

CNC machining of key parts

In addition to CNC tool handles, CNC machining also includes the following key components:

1. Control system

CNC machining control system requires a computer or special controller, it can receive the user program or CAD/CAM software generated processing program, analyze its instructions, and then output control of each machine axis of the motion signal, such as X, Y, Z axis.

2. Motor and servo system

CNC machining requires a number of motors to drive each movement axis, such as stepper motors and servo motors. These motors can precisely control the movement of the machine, ensuring that the workpiece can be accurately positioned and machined.

3. Measurement system

CNC machining requires a variety of measurement systems to detect the movement of the machine tool and the position of the workpiece, such as grating rulers, encoders, pulse generators, etc. These measurement systems can improve machining accuracy and detect machine and tool failures.

4. Knife library system

CNC machining requires a tool or tool library for storing different tools. It can automatically select and install the tool through the automatic tool change system to improve production efficiency.

5. Coolant system

CNC machining requires the use of cutting fluid or coolant to reduce cutting temperature and cutting force, improve cutting quality and life.

The role of CNC tool handle

CNC tool handle is used to grip the tool, it is an important part of connecting the tool and the machine tool. The CNC tool handle can transfer the cutting force to the machine tool spindle and prevent vibration and instability during the cutting process.

Control systems, motor and servo systems, measurement systems, tool store systems and coolant systems need to work in tandem with CNC tool handles to achieve efficient CNC machining.

The collaborative work of NC tool handle and control system

The control system needs to control the movement of each machine shaft according to the user program or the machining program generated by CAD/CAM software. The CNC tool handle needs to precisely control the position and direction of the cutting tool to ensure that it maintains a certain distance from the workpiece surface to avoid scratching the workpiece during processing.

The control system needs to follow the instructions in the machining program to control the action of the CNC tool handle, such as clamping or releasing the tool. The control system also needs to modify the working parameters of the NC tool handle according to the machining program, such as tool diameter, length, clamping force, etc.

The CNC tool handle works with the motor and servo system

The motor and servo system are an important part of controlling the movement of all machine axes. CNC tool handles need to master their working principles and control methods to ensure that the cutting tools cut in accordance with the correct trajectory.

The motor and servo system also need to adjust the movement speed, acceleration and deceleration of the machine tool shaft according to the machining program and the working parameters of the CNC tool handle, so as to ensure the accurate positioning of the position and direction of the cutting tool.

The collaborative work of NC tool handle and measuring system

The measuring system can detect the position and movement of the machine and tools, as well as the position and shape of the workpiece. CNC tool handles need to work in conjunction with the measuring system to ensure machining accuracy and workpiece consistency.

The CNC tool holder needs to check whether the tool is clamped and the workpiece is correctly positioned according to the feedback information of the measuring system, and adjust the position and direction of the cutting tool according to the feedback information of the measuring system.

The collaborative work of NC tool handle and tool library system

The tool library system can store cutting tools of different types and sizes, and automatically select and install cutting tools through the automatic tool changing system. The CNC tool handle needs to work in conjunction with the tool library system to ensure that the cutting tool is properly clamped and released.

CNC tool holder needs to master the working principle and control method of the tool library system, and select and switch cutting tools through the control system.

CNC tool handle and coolant system work together

The coolant system can reduce the cutting temperature and reduce the cutting force, improve the cutting quality and life. CNC tool handles need to work in conjunction with the coolant system to ensure that the cutting tools and workpiece surfaces are properly cooled and lubricated.

CNC tool handle needs to choose the appropriate coolant injection position and pressure according to the type of cutting tool, processing material and processing speed, etc., to ensure the quality of the cutting tool and machining surface.
