Main Functions Of Milling Machine

Although the CNC systems configured by various types of CNC milling machines are different, the functions of various CNC systems are basically the same except for some special functions.

1. Point control function

This function can realize hole system machining that requires high mutual position accuracy.

2. Continuous contour control function

This function can realize the interpolation function of straight line and circular arc and the processing of non-circular curve.

3. Tool radius compensation function

This function can be programmed according to the marked dimension of the part drawing without considering the actual radius size of the tool used, thereby reducing the complex numerical calculation during programming.

4. Tool length compensation function

This function can automatically compensate the length of the tool to meet the requirements of tool length adjustment during processing.

5. Ratio and mirror image processing function

The ratio function can change the coordinate value according to the specified ratio to execute the edited processing program. Mirror image processing is also called axisymmetric processing. If the shape of a part is symmetrical about the coordinate axis, you only need to program one or two quadrants, and the contours of the other quadrants can be realized by mirror image processing.

6. Rotation function

This function can be executed by rotating the edited machining program at any angle in the machining plane.

7. Subroutine call function

Some parts need to process the same contour shape repeatedly at different positions. The processing program of this contour shape can be used as a subroutine and called repeatedly at the required position to complete the processing of the part.

8. Macro program function

This function can use a general instruction to represent a series of instructions to realize a certain function, and can operate on variables, making the program more flexible and convenient.
