CNC Terkaric machine: Ox - the heart of production
Modern CNC turning machines (numerical management) are powerful and universal tools that are used in a variety of industries. But what is this mysterious axis and why is it so important? Let's try to figure out this concept in a simple language.
What is the axis of the CNC turning machine?
The axis is, roughly speaking, a guide around which the workpiece rotates (for example, a piece of metal). Imagine a spit in a meat grinder - this is an axis. On modern CNC machines there can be several axes, each of which is responsible for movement in a certain direction. The most important for a turning machine is, as a rule, the main axis (most often designated as Z) around which the workpiece rotates. Other axes (x and y) allow you to move the workpiece along and across. Thanks to this, the machine can perform complex operations for processing material with high accuracy.
How does the axis of the CNC turning machine help to create details?
Is the axis? The machine guided by the computer program. The program developed by a specialist reports the axis where and at what distance you need to move the tool in order to make accurate cutting, drilling, milling and other operations. Thanks to this, even the most difficult shape of the part can be made with high accuracy and repeatability. This significantly accelerates the production process and makes it more predictable.
The advantages of CNC turning machines with several axes.
The presence of several axes allows you to create much more complex details than machines with one axis. This gives a huge advantage in production, for example, in the manufacture of parts with several surfaces, with a thread or with curved contours. For example, you can quickly and accurately make parts with various complex profiles, such as spiral elements, complex threads or internal and external contours of any complexity. This allows you to produce parts with an accuracy of tenths of a millimeter, which is unattainable in manual production. As a result, this allows you to create high -quality and reliable details for various industries.
