CNC machining center how to achieve tool repair automation

The tool as a consumable, its existence of a certain life, different materials, different specifications of the tool has a different life, so CNC machining center in the tool consumption is more common things, is also the reason that affects the processing cost.

In today's machining, tool mold repair is a way to improve the tool service life. However, the traditional manual tool can not meet the needs of users in terms of accuracy, efficiency, reliability and safety. At the same time for enterprises also need to train professional tool grinding personnel, which increases a part of the labor cost. How in the end to achieve tool repair die automation?

First of all, because CNC machining center tool materials are generally hard, can only be used to change its shape by grinding. Grinding wheel grains of different materials are suitable for grinding tools of different materials. Different parts of the tool need to use different sizes of abrasive grains to ensure the best combination of edge protection and processing efficiency.

Therefore, the primary problem to be solved by using CNC machining center to realize tool mold repair is the type and clamping mode of grinding wheel; Taking into account the low price of alumina grinding wheel, and easy to repair into different shapes for grinding complex tools, but its grinding tool is too single, and clamping difficult, frequent replacement, so the use of diamond grinding wheel can repair more tools.

Use of CNC machining center repair mold tooling is to probe the use of the key techniques, the use of high-precision probe with machining center input detection program can realize tool grinding zero position and cutter grinding, knife blade number to confirm, will this a few variables measured results feedback to the CNC machining center CNC system input prior to write a good knife for cutting tool grinding program.

Finally, to realize the automation of sharpening knives, we should also add the automatic assembly line:

Through the self-design, get the material plate of the tool, so that the manipulator can accurately locate the tool, and then realize the loading and unloading of the tool, with CNC machining center, as well as the assembly line device and the final high-precision detection device, to achieve the complete automation of the tool grinding.
