Machining center can summarize some process characteristics as below:
1.Suitable for processing periodic composite production parts. The market demand for some products is cyclical and seasonal. If a special production line is used, the gain is not worth the loss. The processing efficiency with ordinary equipment is too low, the quality is unstable, and the quantity is difficult to guarantee. After the first piece of trial cutting with the machining center is completed, the program and related production information can be retained, and the next time the product is reproduced, it only takes a long time to start production.
2.Suitable for processing, high-precision workpieces. Some parts have little demand, but they are key components that require high precision and short construction period. The traditional process requires multiple machine tools to coordinate work, which has a long cycle and low efficiency. In the long process flow, it is easy to produce waste due to human influence, which causes significant economic losses. , While the processing center is used for processing, and the production is completely controlled by the program, which avoids long technological processes, reduces hardware investment and human interference, and has the advantages of high production efficiency and stable quality.
3.The flexibility that is suitable for the production of workpiece processing centers with suitable batches is not only reflected in the rapid response to special requirements, but also can quickly realize batch production, and have and improve market competitiveness. The processing center is suitable for small and medium batch production, especially small batch production. When using the vertical machining center, try to make the batch larger than the economic batch to achieve a good economic effect. With the continuous development of machining centers and auxiliary tools, economic batches are getting smaller and smaller. For some complex parts, 5-10 pieces can be produced, and machining centers can even be considered for single-piece production.
4.It is suitable for the application of four-axis linkage and five axis machining center for machining parts with complex shapes, and the mature development of CAD/CAM technology, which greatly increases the complexity of processing parts. The use of DNC makes the processing content of the same program sufficient to meet various processing requirements, making the automatic processing of complex parts very easy.
5. Other features: The machining center is also suitable for processing multi-station and concentrated work pieces, which are difficult to measure. In addition, workpieces that are difficult to clamp or whose machining accuracy is ensured entirely by alignment and positioning are not suitable for production on a machining center.
