CNC Machine Reducing Production Risk Through Process Concentration
For large parts, the cost of quality problems is often very high.
If the processing of a common small part fails, the company may only lose some materials and labor time.
However, if a large casting or a large mechanical structural component has serious dimensional problems during the later stages of machining, the losses may include:
Raw material
Machine time
Labor
Tooling
Handling
Rework
Delivery schedule
Therefore, manufacturing companies are paying increasing attention to process stability.
By concentrating more processing steps on the same equipment, some variables in the production process can be reduced.
For example:
Multiple key machining steps are completed using the same workpiece, the same datum, and the same CNC coordinate system.
This does not mean that all processes must be completed on one piece of equipment, but rather that the most reasonable degree of process concentration can be selected based on the actual process.
For complex, large parts, this approach is often more effective than simply increasing the number of machines.
What should be considered before purchasing?
If a manufacturing company is planning to purchase a Floor Type Milling and Boring Machine, it can prepare a workpiece data sheet in advance.
Recommendations should include at least:
Item Information to Prepare
Workpiece length Maximum length
Workpiece width Maximum width
Workpiece height Maximum height
Workpiece weight Maximum loading weight
Material Steel, cast iron, alloy, etc.
Main machining process Milling, boring, drilling, reaming
Largest hole Maximum hole diameter
Required travel X/Y/Z axis requirements
Accuracy Dimensional and positional accuracy
Production volume Prototype, small batch or mass production
Tool requirements Standard or special tooling
Automation Manual, semi-automatic or automatic
Control system Required CNC configuration
This information can help equipment manufacturers determine machine specifications more accurately.
This step is especially important for large equipment.
Because different customers may have very different needs for machine travel, spindle torque, table size, tooling system, and CNC configuration.
Why manufacturer experience matters
Large CNC machine tools are not simply standard commodities.
It involves multiple aspects such as mechanical design, electrical control, processing technology, and on-site installation.
Therefore, the manufacturer's own technological accumulation directly affects the reliability and applicability of the final equipment.
Founded in 2003, Dalian Waji is located in Changxing Island Industrial Park, Dalian. It has a long history of experience in the fields of machinery manufacturing and machine tools, and regards technology, manufacturing and service as the important foundation for product development.
Dalian Waji sells product categories such as Floor Type Milling and Boring Machine, Planer Type Milling and Boring Machine, and Horizontal Milling and Boring Machine. Our large machine tool product system is not limited to a single equipment type.
This is very important for international buyers.
Because the export of equipment does not end once the equipment is manufactured.
From technical verification to equipment delivery, and then to installation, commissioning, training and after-sales service, manufacturers need to have continuous service capabilities.
