Programming Planning for Complex Parts Processing And Turret Crane

As a high-precision and high-efficiency machine tool equipment, the turret crane plays an important role in the processing of complex parts. Reasonable programming strategies and path planning are crucial for achieving high-quality machining of complex parts.

Firstly, programmers need to conduct in-depth analysis of the drawings and technical requirements of complex parts. Understand the shape, size, precision requirements, and material properties of the parts. On this basis, determine the appropriate processing techniques, such as the sequence and methods of rough machining, semi precision machining, and precision machining.

For the rough machining stage, the main goal is to quickly remove a large amount of material while minimizing tool wear and machine load. A larger cutting depth and feed rate can be used, but attention should be paid to avoiding tool overload and machine vibration. Path planning usually chooses layered cutting or ring cutting methods to ensure machining efficiency and stability.

In the semi precision machining stage, it is necessary to further improve the shape accuracy and surface quality of the parts. At this point, the cutting parameters can be appropriately reduced to achieve finer machining results. Path planning should focus on the uniform removal of residual materials, avoiding excessive or insufficient local margins.

In the precision machining stage, accuracy and surface roughness become key. The programming strategy requires selecting high-precision interpolation methods, such as linear interpolation or circular interpolation, and strictly controlling the cutting speed and feed rate. Path planning should follow the geometric shape of the parts, using smooth transitions and continuous cutting trajectories to reduce surface marks and improve surface quality.

In the entire programming and path planning process, the selection of tools and optimization of tool paths are also key points. Select the appropriate tool type, size, and material based on the different parts and processing requirements of the parts. Meanwhile, by optimizing the tool path, reducing idle stroke, shortening cutting distance, and avoiding unnecessary tool lifting actions, machining efficiency can be significantly improved.
