How to determine the processing route when CNC turning parts?
The CNC lathe feed processing route means that the turning tool begins its movement from the tool setting point (or the fixed origin of the machine tool) until it returns to this point and ends the path the machining program passes, including the path of cutting in and cutting out, and other non-cutting operations (Empty travel path)
The feed route for finishing is basically carried out along the outline of its parts. Therefore, the main focus of determining the feed route is to determine the feed route for roughing and empty travel.
In CNC lathe processing, the determination of processing routes generally follows the following principles.
1 The accuracy and surface roughness of the work-pieces to be machined should be guaranteed.
2 Minimize the processing route, reduce idle travel time, and improve processing efficiency.
3 Simplify the workload of numerical calculation as much as possible to simplify the processing procedure.
4 For some re-used programs, subroutines should be used.
