Programming steps for vertical machining center processing

Using a vertical machining center for component processing has high efficiency and precision. The first step after determining the machining drawing scheme for the components is to carry out CNC programming. As a professional manufacturer of vertical machining centers, our technicians have listed the programming steps in detail for your reference:

1. Analyze based on the machining drawings of the components

Firstly, it is necessary to analyze the material, shape, size, accuracy, batch size, blank shape, and heat treatment requirements of the part in order to confirm whether it is suitable for processing on a vertical machining center machine.

2. Process treatment of components

Based on the analysis of the part drawing, conduct process analysis to determine the machining plan and method for the part.

3. Numerical calculation

Based on the geometric dimensions of the part drawing, the determined process route, and the set coordinate system, calculate the trajectory of the rough and fine machining motion of the part and determine the tool position data.

4. Write a processing program sheet

Determine the auxiliary actions and tool motion trajectory of the vertical machining center machine tool based on the machining route, cutting parameters, tool number, tool compensation amount.

5. Create control media

Record the contents of the program sheet prepared by the technical personnel on the control medium as input information for the numerical control device.

6. Program verification and first piece test cutting

This is also the beginning of processing based on programming, preparing the written program and prepared control medium for formal processing and use after verification and tool testing.
