How to achieve CNC machining center tool repair automation?

For CNC machining center, tool wear is very severe, CNC machining center tool belongs to a kind of consumables, the service life is very limited. Different materials, different specifications of the tool has different life is different, which for CNC machining center for the cost is very different. How to extend the service life of the tool, reduce the use cost of the tool? Many professionals suggest that CNC machining enterprises to achieve CNC machining center tool repair automation, how to do it?

First of all, because the tool material is 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, in order to ensure the best combination of edge protection and processing efficiency. Therefore, the primary problem to be solved by using CNC machining center 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 die cutting tool key technology is to probe the use of the use of high-precision probe processing center input test procedure 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.

Sharpener in order to realize the automation, it is recommended that you want to join the automated assembly line, through the design, have put the cutting tool materials plate, so that it can make the manipulator to accurate positioning of the cutting tool, and then realize cutting tool material, cooperate with CNC machining center, as well as the assembly line device and final high precision detection device, realize fully automated tool grinding.
