Many people are not clear about the difference between engraving machines and engraving and milling machines. People intuitively feel that the small format is an engraving machine, and the large format is an engraving and milling machine, or a chiseling machine, a router, or simply a large engraving machine. In fact, they are two types of machines with different structures, but the working principle is roughly the same. They are driven by three axes, X, Y, and Z, and controlled by electronic controllers.
Before engraving and milling machine purchase, you must try carving:
一 : Choose the right model
For the first purchase of a small advertising signboard shop, mainly for the production of three-dimensional characters such as three-dimensional characters, crystal characters, two-color plates, and badges, etc., you should purchase advertising-grade ones, but you should further refine the machine configuration, such as mainly two-color Board, it must be equipped with a floating cutter head, because it can ensure that the lettering is the same in depth when engraving on the two-color plate with a large layout, but it is mainly used for sawing plexiglass crystal characters. Otherwise, long-term heavy work with a low-power and high-precision spindle will accelerate bearing wear and lose accuracy.
Twenty-two: Clarify the nature of work
Don't think that you can do all the work by buying a CNC engraving and milling machine. Manufacturers divide the CNC engraving and milling machine into various specifications and models in order to deal with various processing tasks. For example, you buy a mold-level CNC engraving and milling machine to engraving two-color plates, or you buy a large-scale CNC engraving and milling machine to engraving stamps, which will cause huge waste, and will not get good results.
# 3: Delivery and training
After the CNC engraving and milling machine arrives, the technicians usually come to carry out the unpacking and inspection of the machine. After the power is turned on, the appearance should be carefully checked for damage and whether it will be damaged by impact during transportation. If it is intact, check the random accessories for machine configuration against the contract with the manual. Machine installation by technicians (including hardware installation, removal of fixed parts, placement of the machine. Connection of power supply with various cables. Software installation, configuration of computer, installation of optional engraving software). After installation, use the test chart file provided by the factory to conduct engraving test on the machine. If the engraving test is completed correctly, the test delivery acceptance is completed.
24: Signing a contract
The engraving and milling machine realizes automation through the loading and unloading spindle. The loading and unloading axis of the engraving and milling machine grabs the workpiece from the side conveyor and conveys it to the processing area. This short stroke ensures a short chip-to-chip time. This process allows extremely flexible use of various tools. In addition, two engraving and milling machines and a turning unit can be combined into a flexible production unit-one side and the other side of the workpiece are completely machined in one process such as CNC turning. And the Y axis integrated into the turret can also process very complex "eccentric" geometric workpieces.
