Group technology and numerical control technology mostly aim at improving the level of multi variety and small batch production. Let more enterprises effectively improve processing efficiency and reduce processing costs.
The implementation of group technology in processing enables enterprises to effectively solve the problem that the processing objects in production are not reasonably organized and the equipment does not give full play to its efficiency under the condition of normal production. The use of CNC machining in the enterprises that implement group technology further improves the implementation effect of group technology.
Now let's talk about how group technology can be effectively applied in CNC machining.
1. Select machining objects for CNC machine tools
We know that the cost of CNC machine tools is much higher than that of ordinary machine tools, so we want to return the investment of CNC machine tools in a short time, so as to show the economic effect of CNC processing. This requires to try to choose the right parts for the CNC machine tool, so that it can work at full load. Especially for expensive machine tools, many enterprises work day and night in addition to maintenance to make full use of them.
To make the CNC machine tool work at full load requires the factory to implement coding and grouping management of parts, and set the applicable part regulations for each machine tool to form search instructions. Using this instruction, we can retrieve the appropriate parts and part families from a large number of parts produced by the enterprise. For the parts in the new products that appear in the future, we can use this method to judge whether it is suitable for CNC machine processing, so that the equipment can be used reasonably.
2. Simplify the programming process for CNC machine tools
Part programming is mainly to process a certain part on the CNC machine tool. It is necessary to prepare the CNC processing program for the part processing. Generally, CNC processing programming is carried out separately for each part, which requires a lot of manpower, material resources, time and cost.
If the group technology is implemented and the production is organized according to the part family, because all kinds of parts in the part family have similar process characteristics, their CNC machining programs must also be similar. At this time, a unified CNC machining program system can be developed for each part family and stored in the computer in the form of computer program as the basis of CNC machining programming for the part family.
