There Are Many Optional Accessories For The Horizontal Machining Center. How Should I Choose?

Selection of other functional components and accessories (1) The number of coordinate axes and linkage axes The number of coordinate axes and linkage axes should meet the processing requirements of typical parts. Under normal circumstances, for a horizontal machining center of the same manufacturer, the same specification, and the same precision, adding a standard coordinate axis will increase the price by about 30%-50%. Although increasing the number of coordinate axes can strengthen the function of the machining center, which is one of the signs of the grade of the machine tool, it is ultimately determined by a balance between process requirements and capital conditions. (2) The horizontal machining center of the workbench can be equipped with a rotary table for indexing and a CNC rotary table, the latter can achieve arbitrary indexing, and it can be used as the B axis to be controlled in conjunction with other axes. Whether or not the rotary table is configured and how to configure it must be determined according to actual needs, for the purpose of economy and practicality. (3) Automatic tool changer (ATC) The choice of ATC mainly considers tool change time and reliability. Overemphasizing the tool change time will greatly increase the price of the machining center and increase the failure rate. According to statistics, about 50% of the failures of machining centers are related to ATC. Therefore, on the premise of meeting the requirements of use, try to choose ATC with high reliability to reduce the failure rate and the cost of the whole machine. (4) When selecting necessary accessories and accessories, you should also pay attention to the selection of some accessories and accessories, and try to avoid affecting the normal operation of the horizontal machining center due to the lack of an accessory that can be purchased for tens of thousands of yuan. Careful selection of tool holders and tools is also the key to ensuring the normal operation of the horizontal machining center. The best selection method should be determined according to the variety and quantity required for typical parts, and added gradually during use. In the composition of the horizontal machining center, chip removal devices, protective devices and tool setting devices (such as tool presetters) are all necessary. Although some accessories are not necessary, if the price is not high, the use of belt It is very convenient, and should be used as much as possible, such as accessory milling heads, tool storage racks, tool carriers, loaders, etc.
