For modern manufacturing, CNC machines are ideal for parts with complex shapes, precision and small batch sizes. However, ordinary machine tools cannot meet this requirement at all. Even copy machine tools and combined machine tools cannot solve the contradiction between high precision and small batches. Therefore, CNC machining is very suitable for parts processing technology in the aviation, aerospace, electric power, transportation and electronics manufacturing industries.
One of the main problems faced by parts processing is the contradiction of high precision, variety and small batches of products. This requires flexibility from machine tools to CNC. CNC numerical control system has great flexibility due to its software control.
The outstanding advantage of modern CNC machine tools is that it can perform high-precision processing and diversified processing, which can completely replace other processing methods. Since the CNC machine tool is automatically processed according to the predetermined program, the processing process does not require manual intervention, and the processing accuracy can also be corrected and compensated by software, so the processing accuracy of the parts can be improved and the quality of the product can be stabilized. This is especially true for high-variety and low-volume parts.
In addition, the use of CNC machine tools can improve productivity, which can generally increase production efficiency by 2 to 3 times. For the machining accuracy of some complex parts, the productivity can be increased by several times or even higher. Some CNC machine tools have multi-process and automatic tool changing devices, so one machine can be used for multiple purposes, which not only improves production efficiency, but also saves plant area.
