Machine tool is not only an important equipment, the implementation of advanced manufacturing technology is also an important carrier of the manufacturing information integration, therefore, the development of machine tool in part release injection processing technology of the main trend. Formed in late 20th century with numerical control technology as the center of flexible manufacturing technology, is expected in the future will continue progress and become the mainstream of the processing technology development. Its characteristics can be summed up in 3 f, 3 I and 3 s, i.e., 3 f flexibility, the federation said 3 I integration, information and intelligence; Systematization of 3 s (System) software and personalization.
These features indicate that the development will further deepen the many kinds of batch production of flexible automation technology; Based on the advanced technology equipment to optimize the manufacturing process and structure principle of development; Machine tool design, economic to satisfy the requirement of the user personalization of product processing; Build ling jie manufacturing systems, fast market demand, with high quality products quickly batch listed; Effectively the information technology and software technology in the manufacturing process to improve the role of technical level and management level; To explore distribution networked manufacturing collaboration alliance environment numerical control technology and so on. To achieve these goals, the current nc machine tools is developing along the following aspects:
With the development of high speed cutting as the forerunner, and attaches great importance to the process of empty running speed, high speed makes every effort to make do comprehensive cutting hours and shorten the auxiliary working hours.
Pay attention to improve the machine tool in the material removal rate at the same time, high efficiency machining will push to shorten process chain for the target compound machining technology.
Machine tool and its flexible manufacturing system will be under the support of RMS (reconfigurable manufacturing technology, through rapid reorganization of the manufacturing system to achieve a more agile and economically uncertain market demand for product variety.
Nc cars, milling, grinding, working accuracy of machine tool is in the range of the average annual increase of 8% to 8% to the nanometer level precision, and constantly expand the precision machining method.
