Application of Numerical Control Machine Tool Simulation in Numerical Control Teaching
Numerical control is an important part of modern technology and engineering. Because in the era of automatic mechanics, numerical control technology has become the core of modern machine tool control, with more and more applications. Numerical control machine tool simulation is an effective method of teaching numerical control technology.
Numerical control machine tool simulation is a teaching method which is used to train the operation skills of numerical control machine and to deepen the understanding of numerical control technology. Through the computer simulation of numerical control machine tool and the installation and set-up of a series of processes, students can not only carry out the programming and operation of numerical control machine, but also can simulate different mechanical conditions. They can observe the running state of the machine tool and judge the effect of the program correctly from the setting, running and result of the program.
Simulation teaching, as a new form of teaching, will bring the teaching revolution to the teaching of numerical control, so that students can learn through the simulation of the machine tool in the “virtual space”. This can effectively simulate the operation environment and corresponding operation situation of numerical control machine tool, which makes students who have never contacted the actual machine have an intuitive understanding of numerical control machine tool and completing programming operation, and can directly apply the theory they have learned in the programming of numerical control machine tool.
Adopting numerical control machine tool simulation method in numerical control teaching is an effective way to improve the teaching effect, which can reduce the maintenance cost of the equipment and improve the efficiency of training personnel. In the practical teaching experiment, it can be seen that through the visual perception generated by the simulation teaching, it is easier for students to understand the operational knowledge of numerical control machine, and the repeated debugging of the program can also be simulated without damaging the machine. Moreover, the teaching environment of numerical control simulation has distinct features of modern times, so that it can meet the needs of students’ pursuit of novelty and fashionable feeling in the teaching, so as to achieve the purpose of enriching and improving the teaching effectiveness.
In the teaching of numerical control technology, the use of numerical control machine tool simulation teaching has obvious advantages not only for students, but also for teachers. Teachers can facilitate students to master the operation of numerical control machine tools, the combination of theory and practice, and the correct judgment of the cause and effect relationship of the obstacles during the program operation. In the teaching of numerical control technology, the experience of teachers can also be fully used to find out and solve the problems of operating skills faster. Teachers also use numerical control machine simulation teaching as an effective method to save time and labor, improve teaching efficiency and accuracy, and reduction of teaching materials costs.
In conclusion, numerical control machine tool simulation is an effective teaching method of numerical control technology, which can help students understand the theoretical knowledge of numerical control, improve their decisions in operation, teaching efficiency, and reduce teaching costs. Therefore, it is worthy of further research and promotion in the teaching of numerical control technology.
