The tool setting of CNC spinning machine usually gives the operator a headache (especially for economical NC without self checking equipment). This is time-consuming, especially when multi tool processing is required.
Generally, the common tool setting methods are as follows. Press and hold the jog tool setting, control the jog key on the control panel, and then have the tip of the tool touch with the workpiece (jog twice in X and Z directions). Then, return to the initial direction to set (X, Z planned initial value), clear and get the initial direction of the tool. After the test, determine the initial direction of each tool in turn and adjust it to the correct planned direction (starting point). This method can run smoothly without auxiliary equipment, but it takes a lot of time. In particular, every time the tool is readjusted, it must be adjusted from the beginning. This method is suitable for simple process or first time adjusting the spinning machine.
The bed has self-test equipment for optional tool setting equipment, but the operation is tedious and requires some preparation time. Suitable for Multi Tool measurement. After selecting the CNC tool to place the cutting tool initially, the cutting tool will wear and must be sharpened after a period of time. Usually, after cutting the cutting tool, the direction of the tool tip changes and the tool needs to be reset.
