Application of CNC System in Planer Grinding
In modern grinding industry, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system has gradually become the major development trend of grinding machines. The application of CNC system in modern grinding industry can not only improve the production efficiency of planer grinding machines, but also greatly improve their grinding accuracy.
CNC system includes CNC grinding machine, CNC servo drive, CNC servo motor, programming controller and human-machine interface. CNC grinding machine is the host of the whole system, while CNC servo drive, servo motor and programming controller are the control system of the machine. Human-machine interface is the display interface between grinding machine and operator, through which the user can control the grinding process. CNC system can also be equipped with various sensors for detecting and monitoring the grinding process.
In planer grinding industry, CNC grinding machines are mainly used in grinding precision parts of various complex curved surfaces. The machine is equipped with grinding wheels with specific shapes and sizes, thus can complete grinding task with high accuracy and efficiency. Compared with traditional grinding process, CNC grinding machine can reduce operator’s labor intensity significantly. With the use of CNC system, operator only needs to input the parameters of grinding, such as cutting depth, feed rate and grinding wheel speed, etc., and the CNC grinding machine will do the rest work by automatic.
In addition, CNC system also improves the grinding accuracy. First, it increases the accuracy of motion, because CNC grinding machine adopts closed loop control methods, which eliminate the influence of external forces on grinding precision. Secondly, the accuracy of motion can be adjusted in a very small range, so as to ensure the accuracy of grinding. Furthermore, CNC system can also ensure the even grinding effect on the parts. This is because CNC grinding machine adopts multi-coordinate simultaneous control mode, thus the wavy grinding effect on the parts can be effectively avoided.
Last but not least, CNC system can also be integrated with various sensors, so as to control the grinding process. For example, various sensors, such as force sensors, temperature sensors and pressure sensors, can be installed in the machine, through which the user can monitor the grinding process in real time. Therefore, CNC grinding machine can automatically adjust the grinding parameters to meet the demand of grinding accuracy.
In conclusion, CNC system has brought unprecedented changes to modern grinding industry. The application of CNC system in planer grinding not only improves the grinding accuracy, but also save the labor intensity of operators. Therefore, CNC system has become the new development trend in planer grinding industry, and will continue to improve the grinding process.
