What’s conditions for the use of gap lathes?

The saddle lathe has all the structural performance characteristics of the basic product, and is made of a saddle attached to the bed, which expands the processing range of this machine tool. The saddle of the machine tool is easy to disassemble and has high repeated positioning accuracy. After the saddle is disassembled, special-shaped parts and large-diameter disc parts can be processed. This machine tool is widely suitable for single-piece or batch production in various machining industries, and is also a suitable supporting equipment for scientific research institutions.

Conditions of use of saddle lathes;

The normal use of the saddle lathe must meet the following conditions: the power supply voltage fluctuation at the location of the machine tool is small, the ambient temperature is lower than 30 degrees Celsius, and the relative temperature is less than 80%.

1. Environmental requirements for the location of the machine tool

The location of the machine tool should be far away from the vibration source, avoid the influence of direct sunlight and thermal radiation, and avoid the influence of humidity and airflow. If there is a vibration source near the machine tool, anti-vibration grooves should be set around the machine tool. Otherwise, it will directly affect the machining accuracy and stability of the machine tool, which will cause poor contact of the electronic components, failure, and affect the reliability of the machine tool.

2. Power requirements

Generally, saddle lathes are installed in the machining workshop, not only the ambient temperature changes greatly, the use conditions are poor, but also there are many kinds of electromechanical equipment, resulting in large fluctuations in the power grid. Therefore, the location where the saddle lathe is installed requires strict control of the power supply voltage. Power supply voltage fluctuations must be within the allowable range and remain relatively stable. Otherwise, the normal operation of the CNC system will be affected.

3. Temperature conditions

The ambient temperature of the saddle lathe is lower than 30 degrees Celsius, and the relative temperature is less than 80%. Generally speaking, there is an exhaust fan or a cooling fan inside the CNC electric control box to keep the working temperature of the electronic components, especially the central processing unit, constant or the temperature difference changes very little. Excessive temperature and humidity will reduce the life of control system components and lead to increased failures. The increase of temperature and humidity, and the increase of dust will cause bonding on the integrated circuit board and cause short circuit.

4. Use the machine tool as specified in the manual

When the user uses the machine tool, it is not allowed to change the parameters set by the manufacturer in the control system at will. The setting of these parameters is directly related to the dynamic characteristics of each component of the machine tool. Only the backlash compensation parameter values can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The user cannot change the accessories of the machine tool at will, such as using the hydraulic chuck beyond the specification. The manufacturer fully considers the matching of various link parameters when setting accessories. Blind replacement results in mismatch of parameters in various links, and even causes unexpected accidents. The pressure of the hydraulic chuck, hydraulic tool post, hydraulic tailstock and hydraulic cylinder should be within the allowable stress range, and it is not allowed to increase arbitrarily.
