In the attached first photo, a set of Wuxi JACK produced CNC-DX1520 CNC End Face Milling Machine was working on a piece of Φ2,000 mm diameter pipe structure. Start from it, let’s have an exploration on this kind of equipment.
1) The conventional (Which means, non CNC control) Steel Structure End Face Milling Machine is suitable for machining workpieces with cross section shape composed from 90° right angle straight edges. For example: Square/ Rectangle/ BOX Beam/ H Beam/I Beam, etc.;
2) Comparatively, CNC End Face Milling Machine is especially suitable for machining workpiece with cross section shape other than the above mentioned “regular” shape. For example, Triangle/ Trapezoid/ Circular Round, etc. Without CNC, end face milling operation on such workpieces will be very time consuming, with inferior precision of finished product;
3) In this respect, you can call the equipment as CNC Pipe End Face Milling Machine directly, because CNC is really natural fit for face milling such workpieces as pipe, tube, and all kinds of irregular shape parts;
4) As can be seen from the attached first photo, another piece of cross column was waiting for to be processed with the CNC Pipe Face Milling Machine --- Yes, it is an all around versatile applicating equipment, not confined to workpieces of Pipe/ Tube/ H Beam/ I Beam.
a) The attached first photo was taken on the machine at its back side of CNC installation, so we use the attached second photo to show how is the CNC assembled onto column of this pipe CNC Face Milling Machine;
b) Applicating Machine Types: This is an universal and general purpose numerical control system, which means, not confined to be adopted in CNC-DX-series Steel Structure CNC End Face Milling Machine, but also other numerical control equipment, like CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine, etc. As supplier of these machines, what we need to do is to compile control program embedded inside the CNC control system based on equipment;
c) CNC Brand: One of the most common used CNC controller with this CNC Face Milling Machine is Chinese mainland brand STARFIRE CNC SF-2100C, made in Beijing. With this control system, you just need to pick up the type of workpiece to be made from its library, input specific parameters for size/ angles/radian, etc., and press START--- Just go with it! Please check the attached video on working progress of the CNC End Face Milling Machine made by us;
d) The attached 3rd sketch shows operating interface on the CNC for this pipe workpiece. Just “tell” CNC on external and internal radius, as well as milling depth to be get, the remaining jobs will be taken care with CNC;
a) In CNC Face Milling Machine, driving system is realized by means of servo motor and encoder. It is enforcement body for face milling operation in the machine. Without it, the precision of ±0.15mm along full stroke can not be attained;
b) The servo driving system for face milling operation features in relative lower power (1.5 ~ 2kW) and higher torque;
c) One group of servo driving system includes Servo Driver/ Servo Motor/ Encoder of one set each, from same supplier. The brand and model are Panasonic A6 series;
d) For one set of CNC Pipe End Face Milling Machine, there are two sets of such driving systems of different power (1.5kW for horizontal feeding, and 2kW for vertical feeding);
This unit is same for both ordinary control and machines: 7.5kW high power and efficiency one, with extensive rotation speed range. Please check the attached 4th photo;
4) The attached 5th and 6th photos record working moments in this CNC-DX3030 Pipe End Face Milling Machine.
