CNC machine novice to quickly improve themselves

May. 24, 2022

What is a CNC machine novice? At present, there are three categories of operators who have just been engaged in CNC machine tools. 

One is that the operators are skilled workers who have been engaged in the operation of general manual machine tools or semi-automatic machine tools before. 

They are very familiar with machining, but they are relatively unfamiliar with the programming of CNC machine tools, and this category occupies a large part; 

Students who graduated from mechanical colleges, they are familiar with machining knowledge, CNC machining and programming theory, 

but lack actual machining experience. For those who have gone through machining and programming, it is very difficult for them to learn the operation of CNC machine tools. 

For these beginners of CNC machine tools, it is very important to master certain CNC machine tool operation skills.

 

Here we are all called the novice of CNC programming for the time being, so how can we quickly improve ourselves for the novice?

 

On the one hand, they can avoid machine tool collision accidents and cause machine tool damage; on the other hand, in a short period of time, 

they can quickly improve the operator's CNC machine tool operating skills, be competent for their own work, and create economic benefits for the unit.

 

Today, I have done CNC training for these operators who are new to CNC machine tools, and introduced some theoretical knowledge of CNC machine tool operation skills, 

mainly to understand CNC machine tools, control CNC machine tools, CNC machine tool program editing, and processing skills. aspects are analyzed. It is hoped that there will be some reference for the operators of CNC machine tools who have just engaged in it.

 

First of all, the operator needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the CNC machine tool being operated. Understand the mechanical structure of the machine tool: to understand the mechanical structure of the machine tool;

 to master the axis distribution of the machine tool; moreover, to firmly grasp the positive and negative directions of each CNC axis of the machine tool; 

to master the function and use of each component of the machine tool, such as simple The principle and function of the pneumatic system, the working principle and function of the simple hydraulic system; 

in addition, it is necessary to master the working principle and function of each auxiliary unit of the machine tool, such as the work of the tool magazine, cooling unit, voltage regulator, electrical cabinet cooler, etc. 

The principle, function and use method, as well as the working principle, function and use method of each safety door lock of the machine tool.

 

Firmly grasp the function of each operation button of the machine tool: know how to execute the program; how to suspend the program and check the machining state of the workpiece, 

resume the suspended state and continue to execute the program, how to stop the program; how to change the program and then execute the program, and so on.

 

Understand what kind of operating system the machine tool you are operating; briefly understand the control principle and working method of the CNC system; what working language the system uses, 

the software used for machine tool processing and the language it uses. If the operator does not know the language or the professional vocabulary of the language, then professional training is required. 

During the training, he needs to take notes carefully. What each word in the machine software means in Chinese must be memorized by rote. If you master it, you can use the machine tool correctly in the future. 

In addition, the operator also needs to learn and master the general operation alarm sentences during training, know what the Chinese mean, how to solve the problem, and how to eliminate false alarms. 

In addition, for operators, if they have the energy and ability, they can learn and master this language, which will be of great help to improve machine tool operation skills in the future.

 

Secondly, it is necessary to master the manual or automatic operation of controlling the CNC machine tool, and master the movement of each CNC axis of the machine tool. 

The operator must achieve the jing jie that practice makes perfect, so that he can be able to retract freely in any situation; only in the event of a collision or failure, the operator can deal with the problem correctly and in a timely manner, 

and the operator can form conditions. Reflex, decisively take the brakes. In addition, the operator must be very familiar with the machining procedures of the CNC machine tool; what kind of process and operation, 

what kind of action the machine tool should have, must be very familiar with it. When the machine tool executes the program, you can know at the first time whether the machine tool is moving correctly and whether braking measures need to be taken. 

In addition, every novice operator has more or less fear in the early stage of operating the machine tool, fearing that the machine tool will collide with the knife and the machine. 

Then only after the operator has mastered the operation of CNC machine tools, can they overcome similar fears, and can learn to master higher CNC machine tool operation skills on this basis.
