CNC machining and programming application of CTX400 turning center

August 20, 2022

The CNC turning center CTX400E is a CNC machine tool that integrates the functions of trucking and milling produced by Germany (Dmaggi). Its powerful turning function, unique Y-axis and C-axis milling functions make the parts clamp and position times. Reduced, turning and milling parts are completed. In this paper, the author briefly describes the function and numerical control system of CTX400 CNC turning center, and gives a processing example.

First, the main structure of CTX400 machine tool

The CTX400 turning center is mainly composed of bed, integrated spindle (spindle H), chuck clamping/clamping device, Z-axis feed drive, turret tool holder, X-axis feed drive, tailstock and composite slide. composition.

1. Machine tool technical parameters

CTX400E turning center spindle speed range is 25 ~ 5000 r / min, chuck diameter is 200 mm, C axis speed is 100 r / min, indexing accuracy ≤ 0.04 °, X direction fast moving speed is 20 m / min, Z direction The fast moving speed is 24m/min. The machine is equipped with 12 tool positions and the tool holder is DIN69880 standard 30 specifications. It can be equipped with up to 6 power knives. The maximum diameter of the power knives is Φ13 and the maximum speed is 2500 r/min.

2. Main features of the machine tool

The CTX400E turning center adopts a four-axis three-link configuration, a linear axis X/Y/Z and a rotating C-axis, and the C-axis rotates around the main axis. In addition to the general turning function, the machine also has the function of milling on the end face (G17) and the outer face (G19) of the part.

3. Machine interface

The operation interface is divided into six menus, as shown in Figure 1. The MACHINE menu is used by the operator to set various parameters of the machine during machining; the DIN PLUS menu provides the window for the operator to manually program the program; the PARAMETER menu provides the operator with the definition and modification of the tool, chuck, fixture and tip in the process. The window; the SIMULATION menu is the simulation window, through which the machining program can be verified; SERVICE provides shortcuts for service and repair; TURN PLUS is the automatic programming module.

Second, CTX400 CNC system introduction

CTX400 configuration HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 3190 CNC system, running under Windows 95 environment, uses "human-machine dialogue, graphics support" to work.

Conversational programming

Programming only needs to select the input machining material, part blank, part finishing shape from the menu, select the tool in the magazine, set the rough and finishing parameters, etc., and the tool path can be automatically generated. Since it is no longer necessary to directly write the control commands of each axis, compared with the ordinary CNC, even those who have no programming experience and those who cannot determine the cutting conditions can complete the programming in a very short time, thus greatly shortening Processing preparation time increases processing efficiency.

2. Tool path simulation and inspection

The machine tool displays the parts in real time through the G17, G18 and G19 windows. Through the tool path check, the details of the machining process can be verified, and the abnormal alarms and prompts appearing during the machining can be simplified, and the confirmation of the program can be simplified, and the trial cutting time is greatly reduced. Figure 2 shows three different angles of the path simulation.

3. Advanced tool life management

In the tool magazine, by recording and simulating the machining load and machining time of each tool, it is possible to quickly judge the wear of the tool, and promptly remind the processor to change the tool, which has a positive effect on the accuracy of the machined part.

4. Spindle load display

The spindle load and rotation speed of each tool in the program are recorded and displayed on the operation panel. The operator can carefully analyze the cutting parameters according to the spindle load condition to achieve the effect of optimizing the cutting parameters.

Third, processing examples

The parts shown in Figure 3 are machined on the turning center. First, the machining features of the car and milling are described in the program language section as follows:
