An automated CNC lathe is a machine tool that uses CNC technology to implement movements according to a pre-programmed program. It consists of program carrier, input device, CNC unit, servo system, position feedback system and machine tool mechanical components.
Processing parts on an automated CNC lathe usually goes through the following steps:
1) According to the drawings and process plans of the processed parts, write the program list with the prescribed code and program format, and record it on the carrier;
2) Input the program on the program carrier into the CNC unit through the input device;
3) After the CNC unit processes the input program, it sends signals to the servo system of each coordinate of the machine tool;
4) The servo system drives the moving parts of the machine tool and controls necessary auxiliary operations according to the signal sent by the CNC unit;
5) The mechanical components of the machine tool drive the relative movement of the tool and the workpiece to process the required workpiece;
6) Detect the movement of the machine tool and feed it back to the CNC unit through the feedback device to reduce processing errors.
Of course, there is no detection and feedback system for open-loop CNC machine tools.
