Plate Rolling Machine

图片
Rolling machine , also called rounding machine and roller machine, is a general forming equipment for rolling metal plates into cylindrical, conical and curved shapes. According to the principle of three-point forming circle, the relative position change and rotational movement of working rollers make the metal sheet produce continuous plastic deformation, so as to obtain the workpiece of predetermined shape. It is widely used in boiler, shipbuilding, petroleum, chemical, metal structure and machinery manufacturing industries. As shown in the figure below, the three-roller plate rolling machine usually takes two lower rollers as the active rollers, which can realize forward and reverse rotation. One upper roller is the driven roller, which can move up and down vertically.   When rolling the sheet metal, the plate is placed between the upper and lower rollers, and the plate can be bent into an arc or closed circle through the three cutting points exposed on the sheet metal by the th...

CNC Lathe Truss Robot

图片
CNC Lathe Truss Robot Truss robot  is a kind of full-automatic industrial equipment  based on right angle X, Y and Z coordinate system to adjust the working position of the workpiece or realize the trajectory movement of the workpiece. Its control core is realized by industrial controllers (such as PLC, motion control, single chip microcomputer, etc.). Through the analysis and processing of various input (various sensors, buttons, etc.) signals by the controller, after making certain logical judgment, the controller issues execution commands to each output element (relay, motor driver, indicator light, etc.) to complete the joint movement between the X, Y and Z axes, so as to realize a complete set of fully automatic operation process.

What is the centerless grinding process?

图片
Centerless grinding is the process of removing material from the outside diameter of a workpiece using a grinding wheel. In its simplest form, centerless grinding consists of a machine base, grinding wheel, regulating wheel and working insert. Centerless grinding has a short loading time, no margin for deflection, and allows for a large amount of grinding. Centerless grinding wheels have a longer life. The workpiece is rigidly supported by the regulating wheel, which presses the workpiece against the grinding grain on the wheel, enabling grinding of brittle materials and deformed parts.   Difference between centerless grinding machine and cylindrical grinding machine 1. Grinding principle: When grinding on an external cylindrical grinder, it is used to grind the outer cylinders, outer cones and end faces of the shaft shoulders. When grinding with a centerless grinder, there are two grinding wheels, a guide wheel and a grinding wheel. The guide wheel drives the cylindrical workpiece...

Difference between centerless grinder and cylindrical grinder

图片
A grinding machine, as a type of industrial power processing equipment, is characterized by the use of a grinding wheel to cut or remove chips from a metal surface. It can also be defined as the process of cutting metal from the surface of a workpiece using a rotating grinding wheel. There are many types of grinding machines, including cylindrical grinding machines, internal grinding machines, centerless grinding machines, and surface grinding machines, etc. Here we will focus on the differences between cylindrical grinding machines and centerless grinding machines.         Cylindrical grinding machine An external cylindrical grinder is a grinder used to shape the outside of an object.  Cylindrical grinders can machine a variety of shapes , but the object must have a central axis of rotation. This includes, but is not limited to, shapes such as cylinders, ellipses, cams, or crankshafts. Cylindrical grinding machines are a special form of grinding machine used to...

What can you do with a CNC lathe?

图片
      CNC lathes are typically used to machine/produce precise circles with an outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID). Depending on the needs of different industries, almost any type of structure can be machined using this machine. CNC lathes are commonly used in the oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, mining, power plants, steel, and paper mills, and shipbuilding industries, to name just a few. Modern CNC lathes are often equipped with life tools that can work on multiple axes. For example, they can contain both X and Y axes, contain a second turret with different tools, or contain a sub/second spindle. These features help to be more efficient and flexible in different milling, drilling, and tapping operations. The result is a complete and even complex part manufacturing process without the need to transfer the part to another machine for a second operation, for example to a CNC milling machine or a CNC machining center.   If you need a...

Lathes have been around since the 19th century. Unlike their predecessors, today's CNC lathes are more sophisticated and automated. Power factories around the world and are used for a wide range of applications.   What is a CNC lathe? CNC lathes, which are operated with  computer numerical control  (CNC) and provide precise design instructions, are machine tools where the material or part is clamped and rotated by a spindle, while the tool working on the material mounts and moves various axes. CNC lathes are typically used for machine parts where the material/part is clamped and rotated while the cutting tool is fixedly mounted for OD (outside diameter) and ID (inside diameter) operations, such as shafts and pipes. They are very suitable for parts with the same symmetry around the axis, which can be clamped in the spindle (i.e. radial clamping). A simple CNC lathe runs on 2 axes, with the tool in a fixed position on a turret of 8 to 24 stations. The rotating action of the...

What is a deep hole drilling machine?

图片
  A deep hole drilling machine is a metal cutting machine designed to produce very deep, precision holes in almost any metal. Deep hole drilling machines can achieve the performance of specific tools such as BTA and gun drills, thus optimizing the deep hole drilling process for the manufacturer. The machines are carefully designed to integrate the technology used in these tools and optimize all aspects of the process to drill deep holes with accuracy, reliability and efficiency. Deep hole drilling machines  are ideally suited for deep holes of all sizes and production levels, and are essential for holes with depth to diameter ratios of approximately 20:1 or greater. Dedicated deep hole drilling machines provide tool support, coolant delivery and process feedback to enable manufacturers to achieve their deep hole drilling goals. These features optimize the process and prioritize deep hole drilling methods by reducing cycle times, stabilizing tool chip removal, and preventi...
