How to choose a CNC vertical lathe

When purchasing a CNC vertical lathe, in addition to its basic required functions and basic components, one should also consider the selection of optional parts, functions and accessories. The selection of accessories for vertical CNC lathes has also developed many accessories to improve processing quality and operational reliability, such as automatic measuring devices, contact probes and corresponding measurement software, tool length and wear detection, and CNC vertical lathe thermal deformation compensation software, etc. The principle for choosing these accessories is to ensure reliable operation and not blindly pursue novelty.

The functions and accessories of CNC vertical lathes

When choosing the functions of the numerical control system, practicality should be the main consideration. It is not necessary to select too many. For the equipment included in the batch production line, the simpler the better. For machine tools with multi-variety and small-batch production methods, the selection of programming functions should be strengthened.

The selection principle is: configuration, giving full play to the short-term and long-term benefits of the main unit, and comprehensive consideration. For those whose prices do not increase much but bring a lot of convenience to use, they should be fully equipped as much as possible.

The configuration plan simplifies the function of programming the numerical control system. A separate automatic programming machine and communication interface with the numerical control system are configured. All program processing is completed on the programming machine in advance, and then it takes a few minutes to send it into the numerical control system. This can further increase the operating rate of the machine tool.
