CNC technology can realize the precise positioning between the tool and the workpiece to ensure the machining accuracy; At the same time, CNC technology can also realize the speed matching between the tool and the workpiece, and improve the processing efficiency.
2.Cutting principle: ceramic special processing machine tools and metal processing machine tools have certain similarities in cutting principles. Whether it is metal cutting or ceramic cutting, the material of the workpiece is removed through the relative movement between the tool and the workpiece. Therefore, in terms of cutting principle, there are many similarities between ceramic special processing machine tools and metal processing machine tools.
3.Tool selection: Ceramic special processing machine tools and metal processing machine tools need to consider the material, geometry, cutting parameters and other factors of the tool in the selection of tools. For example, ceramic materials have high hardness and brittleness, so it is necessary to choose diamond tools with high hardness and wear resistance; At the same time, due to the brittleness of ceramic materials, the selection of cutting parameters also needs to be more careful.
4.Processing technology: There are also many similarities in the processing technology between ceramic special processing machine tools and metal processing machine tools. For example, both require cooling and lubrication of cutting fluids; At the same time, both require the measurement and control of cutting forces; In addition, both require tool wear detection and replacement, etc.
5.Quality control: Ceramic special processing machine tools and metal processing machine tools need to be strictly tested and controlled in quality control. For example, both need to be tested for parameters such as dimensional accuracy and surface roughness; At the same time, both require tool wear detection and replacement; In addition, both require stability control of the cutting process, etc.
The difference in the performance of ceramic materials and metal materials also determines that the characteristics of ceramic materials need to be fully considered in the design and manufacturing process of ceramic special processing machine tools, so as to achieve efficient, high-precision and high-quality processing of ceramic materials. Therefore, in the development process of ceramic special processing machine tools, it is also necessary to continuously carry out technological innovation and optimization to meet the needs of ceramic material processing. The special processing machine tool for ceramics has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency, stability, strong adaptability and high degree of automation, which can meet the processing requirements of ceramic materials. At the same time, ceramic special processing machine tools and metal processing machine tools have certain similarities in numerical control technology, cutting principle, tool selection, processing technology and quality control. These similarities provide reference for the research and development and application of ceramic special processing machine tools, and also provide new ideas and directions for the development of metal processing machine tools.
