The Different CNC Machines

CNC has different applications depending on the machines that operate on it. So if you’re a budding operator, you should know the most common machines that can operate on CNC.

Milling

Milling machines are common CNC machines. These devices are used in the shaping of metal and other solid materials. It is basically a rotating cutter and a table. Milling machines are capable of complex toolpaths as the cutter is not limited to a sideways movement but allows for an “in and out” motion. This movement is precisely controlled by moving the table and the cutter relative to each other. Cutting fluid is then pumped in to lubricate and cool the cut and to remove any swarth that is generated by the cut.

Lathes

Lathes are machines that perform different operations such as sanding, cutting, knurling, deformation, or even drilling. These machines work by spinning various solid objects and then using tools that are symmetric to the axis of rotation. A lathe machine has a single tool in which the workpiece is worked against the tool. The tool is then worked alongside or into the workpiece in order to generate the feed.

Lathes can be used for different operations.

Machining Centers

These are more complex CNC machines that combine milling and turning. As milling was described earlier, turning will be the focus of this section.

Turning is the process by which a central lathe is used in conjunction with the rotation of the material to be turned. The cutting tool is then moved along the two axes of motions to produce accurate dimensions.

Combining turning and milling can produce extremely precise components. And that is what these machines are used for. However, due to the complexity of these machines, operators have to be specialists in order to be able to operate with maximum efficiency.

Electrical discharge machine

An electrical discharge machine (EDM) creates cavities in metals by emitting electric sparks. This process requires an electrode, coolant, a power source, and a tank. The cycle is accomplished by connecting the workpiece to one side of the power supply and then placing it in the tank. An electrode (made in the shape of the cavity required) is then connected to the other side of the power supply.

The tanks is then filled with coolant and the electrode is lowered until a spark jumps between the work and the electrode. As the coolant is a dielectric substance (resists electric currents), it requires a smaller difference in distance in order for a spark to jump through. This means that when the spark appears, the dielectric property has been overcome. The spark then dislodges material thereby creating a cavity in the shape of the electrode.

CNC systems

CNC systems are complex machines that transfer and store data regarding the operation mechanism of the machines. Motion programs include point to point control, straight cut control, and contouring control.

Point to point control means the control of the tools from one point to another in the coordinate plane. This method of control is commonly used in drilling and boring operations.

Straight cut control is the method by which a tool is moved in all axes of the machine. The tool also has the ability to move in a 45 degree angle.

Contouring control is the means to create a toolpath. It moves the tools by interpolating points or coordinates that make up the path for the tool to follow.

The Basic Parts of a CNC Machine

If you carve your name on a wood using a very sophisticated font, you’re lucky if you’ll finish your first name in 24 hours perfectly. Years ago, wood crafting and metal crafting are very expensive massive- labor industries because every aspect of the manufacturing is done by hand. There was minimal machine intervention but the designs were still as intricate.

Today, with the help of technology, wood carving, metal molding, cutting and even finishing can be done simultaneously with minimal hands involved. In fact, a company is deemed unproductive if it mass produces products every day BY HAND.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines are in demand in industries where hands are better off pushing buttons than doing actual labor. Businessmen are raving about this wonder-machine because it is accurate, speedy and flexible.

The CNC machine is actually a factory of its own. There are different parts that have specific functions. Let’s get to know the “factory workers”.

THE VICE

The Vice is what holds the material which is to be cut or molded.  It is important that the vice must be tight; so the material will be held securely. When the CNC machine starts to operate, the material will dash out of the vice if it is not secured. The vice usually works like a clamp that needs to hold the material not just securely but also in the right position.

THE GUARD

The Guard—just like any other guard—works like a “protection” to the person operating the CNC machine. Once the CNC starts working, scraps of the material can “shoot off” at high speed. This is very risky for the operator if a piece hits him/her. The guard completely covers all the hazardous sides of the CNC machine.

THE CHUCK

The chuck holds the cutting tool. Sophisticated designs require maximum chuck precision so the actual design can be realized.

THE MOTOR

The motor rotates the chuck at very high speed. It is hidden and protected inside the machine. You have to take care of this part very carefully. Nowadays, cooling and lubrication is automated in most CNC machines. Usually, if this part doesn’t function well, it is the most difficult to treat. It is advised to have a CNC technician handy all the time.

THE LATHE BED

Like the sea bed, this is the sturdy base of the CNC machine. It is connected to the headstock and aids the carriage and tailstock to be parallel with the spindle’s axis. It is securely bolted so it remains unshaken by the vibration of the machine when it starts operating.

THE CUTTING TOOL/ CUTTER

This is the where the first-level shaping occurs. The cutter is usually made from high quality steel so as to cut the specific material fed to the CNC machine.

As a businessman, it is important that you get to know your employees, bond with them and earn their respect without scaring them. When you have CNC machines working for you, it is equally important that you understand them well. Do not be fooled by the CNC machine salesmen who court your interest because they are usually just after your purchase.

You have to master what comprises these machines, what makes them dysfunctional and most of all, what makes them stay in your company. Just don’t start talking to them. That would be really, really, dysfunctional.

The Desirable Intervention of CNC Machining

Industries find many uses of CNC machining. Woodworking shops and some other industrial settings make use of the Computer Numerated Control technology behind these machines. Large, repetitive tasks requiring speed, efficiency and accuracy are performed automatically as programmed by CNC machines. The full name of CNC is computer numerated control.

Drilling a hole repeatedly at certain intervals is done more efficiently by CNC routers. Inconsistent work caused by human error or fatigue is eliminated. Products of manual calculation and drilling turn pale in comparison. Wood routers do well in cutting or shaping grooves and hollows in wood.

Computer programming and robotic operation are used in CNC milling devices which are considered as specialty equipment. The CNC changes as it decides the tool needed for an operation. This equipment allows moving the part in order to get the desired outcome from the work piece. This is in addition to the task of shaping wood or metal that it usually does. Exact engraving from smallest to the largest is another capability of CNC machines. The same result is done over and over on wood, metal, stone or glass.

By CNC machining, the manufacturing industry nowadays accomplishes properly numerous operations like welding, spinning, bending, gluing, and cutting. This industrial breakthrough is of high importance to those who require efficiency in fiber placement, routing, picking, placing and sawing.

After having been properly set up initially, CNC machines are easy to run and operate. A program is required for CNC machining to function. The machines are managed by the commands intended for them. A medium is used to store encoded commands.

CNC machining for industries means cutting down expenses and costs, and increasing company’s incomes. Understandably, there is a proliferation of its use in most world manufacturers. Every manufacturer seems to have a need for the machines.

They are very pricey or expensive, which means most individuals cannot afford them at all. The price sounds prohibitive for individual use. But, buying used models can be an option to save about half compared to a new one. Buying rebuilt machines is also another option. Major components in these machines are replaced, they are almost as good as new ones. Oftentimes, warranty comes with the purchase of rebuilt CNC machines.

The intervention of CNC machining offers many benefits to industries. The presence of this industrial item brings about other things patrons that will surely derive from it.

The CNC Family

You might have not heard of the CNC before, or what it does, or how it makes lofty manufacturing operations a lot easier. However, CNC machining is dubbed as one of the most important factors of most production processes. The common tasks CNCs machines usually perform are drilling holes, tool changing, cooling and lubrication of separate factory machines at the same time.

Let’s start with a brief introduction. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and it has been around since the early 1970’s. Before it was christened CNC, it was called NC, for Numerical Control. When computers were introduced during 1070’s, the name changed. It has stroked almost all manufacturing forms in almost all stages of production. CNC machines either substitute some existing manufacturing processes or combine work with them.

A CNC program is just any other set of instructions. It’s written like a sentence and the order of operation is chronological. The machine will then execute that set of instructions step-by-step. A special series of CNC words/codes are used to relay what the machine is supposed to do. CNC codes begin with letter addresses (like S for spindle speed, and X, Y & Z for common linear axis motions).

When certain codes are arranged together in a coherent method, this group of CNC codes create a “command” that is like a sentence. A common CNC machine will only be needing around 40-50 words/codes to program different commands. See, it’s not very difficult to learn.

Although CNC sounds very independent and do-it-all, there are a few words that you need to know to fully understand CNC operations.

THE CAM

CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing. It simplifies the programming processes which are new, and added to the CNC program regularly. Of course, the easy applications can be programmed with only the simplest machines around: the pen, paper and calculator. However, more complex programs are vital regularly. It is when composing these programs become much more tricky and (worse) tedious.

The CAM is a program that runs on a computer that aids the CNC programmer with the programming. It also works hand-in-hand with the CAD (Computer Aided Design) design drawing (those designs engineers compose/nurture). With the CAM helping, redefinition of the work-piece configuration is not needed. What the CNC programmer is left to do is just to specify the machine operations to be executed and the CAM system will compose the CNC program automatically. Thanks to CAM, programming tediousness will not be a problem to the CNC programmer again.

THE DNC SYSTEM

DNC stands for Distributive Numerical Control. It is a computer that is connected with one or more CNC machines, forming a network. When a program is manually composed and ready to be loaded to the CNC control, it is being typed right into the control. However, this is like using the CNC machine as a luxurious keyboard.

Moreover, if the CNC program is achieved with the help of CAM, it is already in text form and ready to be loaded to the CNC control. The DNC simply distributes the CNC program to more than one CNC machine. Lately, the newest controls are more advanced in terms of networking capabilities and can be networked with, say, the Ethernet.

If it’s your first time to read and learn about the CNC, it may sound so mighty and ubiquitous. It’s about time you learn they also need help from some programming friends such as the CAM and the DNC. No man is an island; but hey, neither are CNC machines.

CNC Lathe Software?

I am turning my lathe into a CNC machine, and I need software for my computer. I was wondering what you use for CNC lathe, and I’d like to get software free.

I need an operation manual for a CNC milling center.?

Model is a Mighty VMC-A760 CNC mill. A "How to operate this machine for Dummies" book would do!!!

CNC machines tend to have proprietary software… you need to contact the manufacturer for a copy of the owner’s manual.

Some models will now accept information from ’secondary’ software programs – for example, a CNC router (woodworking), will accept cut patterns from some CAD packages that design cabinets. Again, this will be dictated by the manufacturer.

Im not aware of any kind of universal book…because these machines are all different. If you don’t know how to operate a CNC machine, then you may consider asking the manufacturer/dealer for a name/phone number of someone nearby who owns the same machine, or for a company tech to come to your shop to teach you how to use the machine.

Good Luck

Types of measuring scopes for cnc milling machines?


Fully mastering the use of a CNC machine tool requires an understanding of three distinctly different disciplines. First, a CNC program must be developed. This, of course, is the responsibility of a CNC programmer. Second, the machine must be made ready to run workpieces. This is the responsibility of a CNC setup person. And finally, the machine must run the workpieces in the production run. While some companies utilize the same person that sets up the machine, many companies utilize a different person to complete production runs – the CNC operator.

In CNC milling can laser, now, practically replace normal machine heads for milling larger items? If not what?


CNC MIlling Machines need traditional heads, and cutter operations. especially for large jobs.
However, lasers are great for smaller jobs, and touch-up operations. As of this point, nothing is out-their to replace a normally(Traditional) CNC Head.

What is the difference between relative and absolute on a CNC control?

This pertains to CNC milling machines and their control system.

Relative coordinates is a point from where the position is right now to where you want to go. Absolute is to move to a new location from an absolute zero point on the machine.

Example:

Lets say that you are currently sitting at zero in X, Y and Z you need to move to X5.0, Y5.0 and Z5.0 then to X8.0 Y8.0 Z8.0 and then back to X, Y, Z zero.

In relative programming it would look like this:
X5.0 Y5.0 Z5.0 (sitting at this pos your next move is a relative increment to your next pos)
X3.0 Y3.0 Z3.0 (You now moved an relative increment more than the last pos)
X-8.0 Y-8.0 Z-8.0 ( Back to the start)

In absolute programming the same motion looks like this:
X5.0 Y5.0 Z5.0 (pos 1)
X8.0 Y8.0 Z8.0 (pos 2)
X0.0 Y0.0 Z0.0 (pos 3 back to the start)

Humans tend to think in relative incremental terms. When you give driving directions it is always in relative terms, go north 1 mile (km) from there go east 2 miles (km), etc.

In CNC programming it is much easier to program in absolute mode because you always know where you are at just by looking at the current command from the zero point on the machine.

In relative programming you would need to add or subtract all of the previous moves to figure out where you are at.

Good Luck,\

can any one give me the difference between cnc lathe and conventional lathe?


Metal lathe or metalworking lathe are generic terms for any of a large class of lathes designed for precisely machining relatively hard materials. They were originally designed to machine metals; however, with the advent of plastics and other materials, and with their inherent versatility, they are used in a wide range of applications, and a broad range of materials. In machining jargon, where the larger context is already understood, they are usually simply called lathes, or else referred to by more-specific subtype names (toolroom lathe, turret lathe, etc.). These rigid machine tools remove material from a rotating workpiece via the (typically linear) movements of various cutting tools, such as tool bits and drill bits.

CNC lathe / CNC turning center

CNC Lathes are rapidly replacing the older production lathes (multispindle, etc) due to their ease of setting and operation. They are designed to use modern carbide tooling and fully utilize modern processes. The part may be designed by the Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) process, the resulting file uploaded to the machine, and once set and trialled the machine will continue to turn out parts under the occasional supervision of an operator. The machine is controlled electronically via a computer menu style interface, the program may be modified and displayed at the machine, along with a simulated view of the process. The setter/operator needs a high level of skill to perform the process, however the knowledge base is broader compared to the older production machines where intimate knowledge of each machine was considered essential. These machines are often set and operated by the same person, where the operator will supervise a small number of machines (cell).

The design of a CNC lathe has evolved yet again however the basic principles and parts are still recognizable, the turret holds the tools and indexes them as needed. The machines are often totally enclosed, due in large part to Occupational health and safety (OH&S) issues.

With the advent of cheap computers, free operating systems such as Linux, and open source CNC software, the entry price of CNC machines has plummeted. For example, Sherline makes a desktop CNC lathe that is affordable by hobbyists.

i want to know about consideration for feature sequence in machining using CNC milling?

-feature like pocket, face, contour, drilling
-which sequence or order is the best way to machining first?
-what are the consideration to chose the best order or sequence?why?
-any journal, article, or prove?

You need to get hold of a programming manual for a CNC machine. It will tell you about fixturing (how you hold the job down), tooling and the process generally. You could talk to a CNC production engineer who is responsible for the production of a part and ask him about the processes involved in the final part
Hope this helps

I would like to know what the average weight is for an average machine in a machine tool shop?

Know this is difficult – I was thinking of a CNC lathe or something like it – would it be one ton, two? I need to calculate shipping based on weight – I can visualise the size but not weight

I’m a CNC machinist, hard to say an average, depending on lathe or mill, big or small, I run mazak quik turns, which i think are about 3000 pounds.
I’ve worked on other lathes that were in the 5000 & 6000 range.
I’ve also worked on mills that were 10 – 15000 pounds.
If you know the make and model of the machine, maybe do a google search for the mfg. and check their dimensions and weight.

In cnc milling, what does it mean when motors are in parallel?

I need more torque from the motors in my cnc machine and can only go up to 3 amps. What does it mean when the motors are in series or parallel or unipolar?

CNC motors are stepping motors
if wired in parallel they will step equally

they cannot be wired in series!
unipolar and bipolar is something else
it relates to the driver and the winding of he motors

to get more torque you need a bigger motor and bigger driver
Or to gear down!

i want to know..why different cutting path using cnc milling will produce different total time?

-CNC MIlling Machine
-different cutting path will produce different total time to fabricate
-which cutting path will make the fastest time to fabricate?

As previously said, straight lines are the shortest distance, so it takes less time. Also, complicated or round shapes need more acceleration or declaration times, thus making them longer. Wasted time and programming may also come into play. You may want to consider stronger/better cutters, to take more material off, to reduce the time is cuts. This does not work for everything, but in most cases, it’s a better way to go, I hope this helps. I also suggest taking all of the replays, and the advise, and consider they are all good points.

CNC Basics E-Course 4 | CAM | Learn CAM Video | CAD/CAM …

Here on the 4th day we talk about CAM. CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing. During the CAM step of the CNC Process we use software to define how our CNC Machine should move.
There are a number of CAM Software packages on the market. They range from the inexpensive to expensive. Much of the cost depends on the number of Axis’s that the CAM Software has.
With the CAM Software we define things like stock, location, tooling, feed and speeds and the post processor we will use.
The post processor is very specific to our CNC Machine. It outputs g-code. We use the G-Code program in our control software next.

Tomorrow’s Lesson is CNC Control.

CNC to Art Video 7 – Finalize and Export – CNC Artwork …

CNC to Art Video Series Video 7:
This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop.

For more information, please go to: http://www.cncinformation.com

We have converted our image and now it is time to clean it up and export it out. First we take a look at the image for defects. We find a few and use the Illustrator weld tool to get rid of them.
Next we export the image out as a dxf file. DXF Files are common currency between CAD Programs.

When we export, we go with the oldest type of DXF File available. I do it that way because I find it makes a simpler file that virtually any CAD Program can open and use.

Next we go into our CAD Program to resize our file to the proper dimensions.

CNC Lathe Part Unloader/Bar Puller by Royal Products

www.barpullers.com – This video shows the Royal Grippex Coolant Actuated Bar Puller removing a finished workpiece from the sub-spindle of a multi-tasking lathe. This allows the sub-spindle to swallow long parts, without the use of a parts ejector. Additionally, the Grippex is shown removing a long bar remnant, preventing the bar from dropping into the chip conveyor and potentially causing damage to the conveyor. The Royal Products Grippex Bar Puller for CNC Lathes can be used for both pulling spindle length bars up to 3-1/8″ dia. and removing finished parts from the sub-spindle of a CNC lathe. The Grippex is actuated through coolant pressure of the machines turret or spindle (multi-tasking lathes).

NURBS Machining with EMC2 on a Proxxon MF70 CNC

My Proxxon MF70 CNC machining a NURBS made Tux using a modified version of EMC2. Nurbs are defined in the part-program using new G-codes G5.2 and G5.3, and are interpolated using biarcs tangents each other. This allows higher machining speeds than the conventional short segments interpolation. Also, the part-program is made by NURBS blocks so, for example, the program for Tux is 400 lines, using segments it would be thousands of lines.
My Proxxon MF70 has a max speed of 100 mm/min and this is what is shown in the video. Of course higher machining speed can be achieved on a faster machine.

CNC Basics E-Course 3 | CAD | Learn CAD Video | CAD/CAM Tips

In this CNC Basics Video we go over CAD. CAD Stands for Computer Aided Design. During the CAD step we take our initial design and translate it into the computer. We do this CNC Step so we can change the design, resize it, save it, transfer it to someone else, etc. Recording our CNC Design into CAD gives us flexibility.
During CAD we learn we first design parts, then assemblies, then groups, then machines. We also learn there are different types of CAD Software. 2D, 2.5D and 3D. These types also come in different software packages from inexpensive to expensive. You can spend up to the sky if you want.
The trick is to match the CAD Software Capabilites with your CNC Needs. You don’t need high power 3D Modeling CAD if you make simple parts day in and day out.
Tomorrow’s lesson is CAM. Computer Aided Manufacturing.

HoneyBee King 2 CNC head and tail setup tips/indoor flight test

Here is my 7-8th flight, real flight- I have had about 2-3 weeks at about 3 days/wk of pre-flight calibration and ground lessons. I got the heli in mid December of 08, and I started with RADD’s school of rotary flight about new year’s. It’s actually quite good for building self-confidence…still, when you finally get the bird in the air it’s hard not to your pants at the very second of unintended movement, especially if you are inside. Anyhow, thanks to G3/G4 and RADD I haven’t crashed once so far. I also, thanks to taking it slow, had found a number of small errors in design I think, and things that just need to be kept aware of and check before and after each flight. I had to do my own legwork on this, and I have yet to see the problems addressed in video form, though if you dig hard enough alot of the answers can be found deep in the RC forums of various sites. Here I will relay the benefit of my noob knowledge. I would urge anyone entering the hobby to use this heli as the first full 3d heli- when you are ready for it. It is inexpensive compared to others but it is very well built and from what I hear better all around than Walkeras or other small $100-$150 helis. Put a HH gyro on here and get these purple upgrades and Brushless and ESC and its a pretty awesome little heli. I have never flown any other heli’s of this size, but I feel confident in saying that this is a great heli for learning 3d with. Like I said, if you never flew anything or simulated it may not be a good idea to splurge on this heli, and if by chance you do you SHOULD AT LEAST follow RADD’s school of flight, and it will keep you from wrecking on your first day out, which always blows. Happy flying!

What is the Difference between CNC and CNC Lathe?

Is one newer than the other and does one work differently than the other
