Equipment Introduction
Numerical control (NC) equipment refers to devices that utilize this technology. NC technology, also known as Computer Numerical Control (CNC), currently employs computers to achieve digital program control. This technology uses a computer to execute pre-stored control programs to control the equipment's movement trajectory and the operational timing logic of peripheral devices. By using a computer to replace the original hardware logic circuit-based NC device, the storage, processing, calculation, and logical judgment of input operation instructions, and various control functions can all be accomplished through computer software. The processed micro-instructions are transmitted to the servo drive device to drive the motor or hydraulic actuator, thereby driving the equipment's operation.
Precautions
To extend the service life of CNC equipment, the usage environment should generally avoid direct sunlight and other heat radiation, excessive humidity, excessive dust, or corrosive gases. Precision CNC equipment should be kept away from equipment with high vibrations, such as punching machines and forging equipment. To avoid large voltage fluctuations (greater than ±10%) and possible instantaneous interference signals, CNC equipment generally uses dedicated power supply lines (such as a separate line from the low-voltage distribution room for the CNC machine tool) or additional voltage stabilizers to reduce the impact of power quality and electrical interference. A series of practical and effective operating procedures should be established for the use and management of CNC machine tools. For example, lubrication, maintenance, proper use, and standardized shift handover systems are the main aspects of CNC equipment use and management. Establishing and adhering to operating procedures is one of the important measures to ensure the safe operation of CNC machine tools. Practice has proven that many failures can be reduced by adhering to operating procedures. CNC equipment should not be left unused for extended periods. After purchasing a CNC machine tool, it should be fully utilized, especially in the first year of use, so that any weak points prone to failure can be identified early and resolved during the warranty period. During processing, minimize the starting and stopping of the CNC machine tool spindle to reduce wear and tear on the clutch, gears, and other components. When there are no processing tasks, the CNC machine tool should be powered on regularly, such as once or twice a week, for about an hour each time, to utilize the machine's own heat to reduce internal humidity and prevent electronic components from becoming damp. This also allows for the timely detection of low battery warnings to prevent the loss of system settings.
