Processing skills of common arcs in CNC turning

Compared with ordinary lathes, CNC lathes have strong adaptability, high processing precision, high production efficiency, and can complete the processing of complex profiles. With the development of new products, the shape is more and more complex, and the precision requirements are getting higher and higher. It is undoubtedly to give full play to the advantages of CNC lathes. Arc machining reflects the advantages of CNC lathes. However, in the actual processing of large arcs, programming difficulties are often caused due to improper selection of machining processes or lack of auxiliary calculation tools, and abnormal machining errors occur in severe cases. This has attracted my attention. Through long-term trial cutting experiments, it is proved that the following methods are simple in the arc programming, and the processed parts have high precision. Below I will discuss with several common parts as an example.

First, the circular layer cutting method

1) The starting point and end point of the arc are unchanged, only the radius R is changed.

As shown in Fig. 1, machining a convex arc in the part, according to the two points as the arc, the smaller the radius, the greater the curvature. Therefore, when cutting the convex arc, the starting point and the end point can be fixed and the radius R is gradually reduced. Increase to the specified size. However, it should be noted that the radius of the arc should be at least half of the length of the finished circular chord.

N100 G03 X40 Z-25 R16 F0.1 :

2) The starting point and end point of the arc change, and the radius R does not change.

As shown in Fig. 2, a concave arc is machined on the part. In order to reasonably distribute the amount of the knife and ensure the processing quality, the cutting is performed by the equal radius arc, and the programming idea is simple.

3) Arc start point, end point coordinates, radius R change

As shown in Fig. 3, a hemisphere is machined at one end of the part. In this case, the radius R of the path of the path is equal to the difference between the change of the last path radius R and the direction of Z (or X) ∆Z(∆X). .
