How To Determine the CNC Machining Feed Route?

The CNC machining feed route refers to the route that the turning tool returns to this point from the tool setting point (or the fixed origin of the machine tool) and completes the machining program, including cutting routes such as cut in and cut out tools and non cutting empty travel routes. The feed route for finishing is basically carried out in sequence along the contour of the part. Therefore, the key to determine the feed route is to determine the feed route for rough machining and empty stroke.

CNC machining refers to machining with CNC machining tools. Numerical control (nc) means that cnc machineSs are programmed and controlled by nc processing language, usually g code. cNC machining g code language tells CNC machines which Cartesian position coordinates to use for machining tools, and controls the feed speed and spindle speed of tools, as well as tool converter, coolant and other functions. The CNC machining feed route shall ensure the accuracy and surface roughness of the workpiece to be machined. The CNC machining feed route shall minimize the machining route, reduce idling time and improve machining efficiency. CNC machining feed route should simplify the workload of numerical calculation as much as possible and simplify the machining process. For some reusable programs, subprograms should be used.

CNC processing has great advantages over manual processing. For example, parts produced by NC machining are very accurate and repeatable. NC machining can produce parts with complex shapes, which cannot be completed manually. CNC machining technology has been widely promoted. Most of the processing workshops have CNC processing capability. The most common CNC machining methods in typical machining workshops are CNC milling, CNC lathes and CNC wire EDM.

CNC machining can greatly reduce the number of tooling, and it does not require complex tooling to process complex shaped parts. If you want to change the shape and size of the part, you only need to modify the part processing program, which is applicable to the development and modification of new products. CNC machining quality is stable, machining accuracy is high, and repeatability is high, meeting the machining requirements of aircraft. Under the condition of multi variety and small batch production, CNC machining has higher production efficiency, which can reduce the time for production preparation, machine tool adjustment and process inspection, and reduce the cutting time due to the use of the best cutting amount. CNC machining can process complex contours that are difficult to process with traditional methods, or even process some parts that cannot be observed.
