What are the differences between machining centers, engraving machines and engraving machines? I believe that many friends who have just joined this circle require this sentence, and they do not know much about the purchase of mechanical equipment. , the publisher will do it for you.

As its name suggests, it can be engraved or crushed. The engraving and molding also develop towards a high speed, generally called high speed machine, with a higher cutting capacity, very high machining precision, and can also directly treat the hardnessHRC60The above materials are formed at the same time and are widely used in the coarse finishing treatment of the mold core in a single time, the copper electrode of the mold, the treatment with lots of aluminum products, manufacturing shoe molds, lighting of lighting and the clock and eye industry.

Due to its high cost performance, its rapid treatment speed and its good finish of processing products, it occupies an increasingly important position in the machine tool processing industry.

CNCMachining center:

The regions of Hong Kong and Taiwan and Guangdong are also known as computer gongs. process; automatically modify the machine tool. Surface of the room. Since the machining center can perform a variety of processes in a centralized and automatic manner, it avoids artificial operating errors, reduces the time of tightening, measurement and adjustment of machine tools, and the treatment time Part, handling and storage, considerably improving the efficiency of treatment and precision treatment, so it has good economic advantages. The machining center can be divided into an vertical machining center and horizontal machining center depending on the position of the main tree in space.

Engraving machine:

The torque is relatively small and the speed of the pin is high, which is suitable for the treatment of small tools, focusing on the function of “engraving”, and is not suitable for large parts with a strong cut. Most products on the market that are under the banner of engraving machines are mainly processed professions, with low cost and low precision, and are not suitable for the development of molds; Engraving and grinding, machining center. Comparison of the maximum pin speed in terms of engraving machine index data (R / Min): Treatment center8000; The most common engraving and milling machines240000The lowest high speed machine30,000; Engraving machines are generally the same as engraving and milling machines, and engraving machines used for high light treatment can reach80000But the one used is not an ordinary electric spindle but a floating spindle. Spinte Power: the machining center is the largest, ranging from several kilowatts to tens of kilowatts;

Cutting volume: the machining center is the largest, particularly suitable for heavy cut and thick cut; Speed: since the engraving and milling machines and the engraving machines are relatively light, their speed of movement and their power speed are faster than those of the machining centers, in particular the high speed machines equipped linear engines can reach the highest movement speed.120m / min. Precision: the precision of the three is almost the same. From the point of view of the size of the treatment: the work area can better reflect this. The smallest work area of ​​the domestic machining center (Gong on computer)Mmthe same below)830 * 500850The largest workspace of engraving and crusher700 * 620750The smallest is450 * 450400machine); The engraving machine generally does not exceed450 * 450common is45 * 270250machine).

From the application object:

The machining center is used to finish the machining equipment for parts with a larger milling volume, large molds and relatively hard materials, which are also suitable for the thickening of ordinary molds; Volume and small molds. polishing platelets, metal shells, etc.

There is no word for engraving and dying machines abroad (CNC engraving mill), strictly speaking, engraving is part of the grinding, so that foreign countries have only the concept of machining center, and the concept of a small machining center has been derived to replace the machines of engraving and milling. Whether it is to buy an engraving machine or a CNC milling center is a question you often ask yourself, depending on the real production needs.

In addition, there are currently high popular high -speed cutting machines (Hscmachine), which is called a high -speed machine in China.

Let’s first discover the difference between three models:

1CNC milling and machining centers are used to complete the machining equipment for parts with large milling volumes.

2CNC engraving and milling machines are used to finish small grinding volumes or soft metal transformation equipment.

3High speed cutting machines are used to complete the medium grinding volume and reduce the grinding volume after milling towards the lowest machining equipment.

4An in-depth analysis of the structure and type of data processing of the above equipment can help us make the right choice.

The article has already talked about the difference between engraving and milling machines, machining centers and detail engraving machines.

Daguang focuses on providing solutions such as precision CNC machining services (3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis machining), CNC milling, 3D printing and rapid prototyping services.

A brushed finish creates a unidirectional satin texture, reducing the visibility of marks and scratches on the surface.
Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear properties, while allowing for color dyeing, ideal for aluminum parts.
Black oxide is a conversion coating that is used on steels to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
Electroplating bonds a thin metal layer onto parts, improving wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface conductivity.
