The maximum size of CNC machining is mainly related to the maximum machining size of the machine tool, that is, the maximum moving distance of the pallet. It is also related to the size of the system limit. The system limit is determined according to the value of the coordinate system.
CNC milling
Description The size of a CNC machined part is limited by the machine capacity and the depth of cut required for the features of the CNC machined part. Including the CNC machining center has a 64 “(X)” multiplied by 32 “(Y) multiplied by 38” (Z) stroke limit. please remember,). The stroke limit does not necessarily translate into the largest part size. The in-depth characteristics of long tooling can be cut into the effective work of the machine. According to the size and characteristics of the CNC machined parts, it needs to be processed in the Z height dimension. Due to the tool clearance and the cutting depth, the Z height of the part needs to be less than 38.
CNC turning
The maximum diameter of CNC turning parts and the total length of the parts. The outer diameter can reach 18 inches, but special considerations can be made for larger CNC turning parts. The maximum total length of the part that can be supported also depends on the maximum diameter of the part. Lathes can produce more complex off-axis parts, but this often means less effective work. The size of CNC turned parts will affect the availability of different post-processing procedures.
Summarize
Regardless of whether it is CNC milling or CNC turning, they all have numerical control machining size restrictions, and it is necessary to select a suitable lathe machining according to the characteristics of the material and the lathe and the machining method.
