How Does a CNC Machine Function
Each machine has specific functions and working methods. But the point is that the machine is programmed to provide functions. Some features:
• Motion-Control: A little of this was covered, but here are more details to know. It does not matter what you use the machine if they are CNC machines, they are all programmed to operate in more than one direction. These directions of motion called axes. These movements can be straight or circular. In axis CNC machine are designated by letters. For example, linear axes X, Y and Z is designated as the axis of rotation A, B is designed, and C.
• Programmable types: for a CNC machine that works properly must be programmed to operate in many respects. Each machine has been working with functions for the work as required. Some features:
* Automatic tool changer - In the factory, many machines keep a lot of tools in what is called a tool magazine. Once a tool is needed for the machine, the machine can be programmed to change automatically, without human intervention tool.
* Speed - The machine can be programmed to control the speed of the spindle. The pin can be programmed to move forward or vice versa, depending on the task and what is the machine at a time may be needed.
* coolant - machines even have the ability to program in the reservoir, the flow to rotate in the machine. This kind of machine stays cool and has good lubrication it needs to work.
• CNC program: The heart of any digital control system is computer software. As you've already read, is a software, a step-by step that has a computer to do what he wanted. But in this case, the device can be controlled is not a computer, for example, is a machine. Some code would use words that begin with the letter F, S, and the axis of movement. A typical program uses about 40-50 words to do the job.
• CNC: CNC makes the machine do its thing. It follows the CNC program and executes these steps in order. As he reads the program, it activates the features included in the program. In today's machines, the CNC control to change the program if the program should not find work, are properly due to coding errors. It does so through special tests to see features and to confirm that the program works correctly.
