The difficulty of learning
numerical control press varies from person to person,and is related to personal foundation,learning methods,etc.If you have a foundation in mechanical processing or numerical control,learning is relatively easy;You can learn even with zero foundation,the key is to master the correct learning path and key points.Below is a detailed analysis from the aspects of learning content,difficulty,methods,etc.
Numerical control punch press is an automated stamping equipment that integrates mechanical,electronic,and computer technologies.It controls the movement of the punch through programming instructions to achieve stamping processing of metal sheets.The question of whether numerical control press picture are easy to learn cannot be generalized,as it is influenced by multiple factors.
1.Learning content and difficulty
(1)Theoretical knowledge
1.Mechanical principle:It is necessary to understand the basic structure of numerical control press,including the functions and working principles of the body,worktable,transmission system,stamping die and other components.For example,how the transmission system converts the rotational motion of the motor into the up and down reciprocating motion of the punch,and how the structural design of the mold affects the forming quality of the stamped parts.These knowledge are crucial for understanding the operating mechanism of devices,but for learners without a mechanical foundation,they may find them abstract and difficult to comprehend.
2.CNC programming:This is one of the core contents of numerical control press picture operation.Learners need to master the meaning and usage of numerical control programming languages,such as G code and M code.G code is used to control the motion trajectory of cutting tools,such as linear interpolation G01,circular interpolation G02/G03,etc;The M code is used to control auxiliary functions of the machine tool,such as spindle start stop M03/M05,coolant switch M08/M09,etc.In addition,it is necessary to learn how to use programming software for automatic programming,such as SolidWorks CAM,UG NX,etc.These software have powerful functions but complex operating interfaces with many parameter settings,which require some time to familiarize and master.
3.Process knowledge:It is necessary to be familiar with the characteristics of metal materials,such as the influence of hardness and toughness of different materials on stamping processes,in order to select stamping parameters reasonably,such as stamping speed,pressure,etc.At the same time,it is also necessary to understand the process of stamping technology,including the installation and debugging of molds,the positioning and clamping of plates,and the processing sequence of stamped parts.For example,when stamping thinner aluminum plates,it is necessary to reduce the stamping speed to avoid deformation of the plate;When stamping thicker steel plates,pressure needs to be increased to ensure that they can be cut into shape.The learning of process knowledge needs to be combined with practical production experience,constantly accumulated and summarized.
(2)Practical operation
1.Equipment operation:Master the operation panel of numerical control press picture,familiar with the functions and operation methods of various buttons and knobs,such as start,stop,emergency stop,mode switching,etc.Be able to correctly perform the equipment startup and shutdown processes,as well as daily maintenance work,such as checking the lubrication system,cleaning the workbench,etc.Although the layout and functions of the device operation panel have a certain regularity,it is still necessary to study and practice carefully when encountering it for the first time in order to operate it proficiently.
2.Mold debugging:Select the appropriate mold according to different stamping requirements,and install and debug it correctly.During the debugging process,it is necessary to adjust the clearance of the mold to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the stamped parts.For example,excessive clearance between molds can lead to excessive burrs on stamped parts;If the gap between the molds is too small,it may damage the molds and equipment.Mold debugging requires certain skills and experience,and beginners may need multiple attempts to master it.
3.Processing practice:In the actual processing process,it is necessary to be able to accurately control the equipment for stamping processing according to programming instructions,observe the problems that occur during the processing,such as plate offset,stamping part deformation,etc.,and take corresponding measures to adjust them in a timely manner.This not only requires learners to have solid theoretical knowledge and proficient operational skills,but also strong problem-solving and adaptability abilities.
2.Factors affecting learning difficulty
(1)Personal foundation
1.Fundamentals of Mechanical or Numerical Control:If learners have previous work experience in mechanical processing,fitter,lathe operator,or have studied numerical control technology,mechatronics integration,and other related majors,they will have a certain understanding of mechanical principles and numerical control programming.Therefore,when learning numerical control punching machines,it will be easier to understand the relevant knowledge and operational skills,and the learning progress will be relatively fast.For example,those who have experience operating CNC lathes are already familiar with the basic principles and operating procedures of CNC programming.When learning numerical control press picture programming,they only need to focus on learning the differences between the two.
2.Mathematical and logical thinking ability:Numerical control programming involves a large amount of mathematical calculations and logical judgments,such as coordinate calculation,tool path planning,etc.Having strong mathematical and logical thinking abilities,able to quickly understand the meaning and execution process of programming instructions,and write accurate and efficient programs.For learners with weak mathematical foundations,they may need to spend more time and effort learning related mathematical knowledge,such as trigonometric functions,plane geometry,etc.,to meet programming needs.
(2)Learning resources and methods
1.Training courses and textbooks:High quality training courses and textbooks can systematically explain the knowledge and skills of numerical control press,helping learners quickly get started and improve.If one can participate in numerical control press training courses offered by professional training institutions or schools,with experienced teachers to guide and demonstrate,the learning effect will be better.At the same time,choosing a comprehensive and easy to understand textbook as a reference material can also help learners to refer to and consolidate their knowledge at any time.
2.Practical opportunities:numerical control press picture is a highly practical technology,and only through extensive practical operations can one truly master the operation skills and processing technology of the equipment.If learners can intern in factories or training bases and have the opportunity to personally operate numerical control press and participate in actual production and processing processes,they can have a more intuitive understanding of the working principles and application scenarioses of the equipment,accumulate practical experience,and improve their ability to solve practical problems.On the contrary,without practical opportunities and relying solely on theoretical learning,it is difficult to achieve a level of proficiency in operating numerical control press.
3.Learning methods and suggestions
(1)Theoretical learning
1.Basic knowledge of systematic learning:Starting from the basic concepts of mechanical principles and numerical control programming,gradually deepen the learning.A complete knowledge system can be established through reading textbooks,watching instructional videos,and other methods.In the process of learning,it is important to focus on understanding.For knowledge points that are not understood,it is important to consult materials or seek advice from teachers and classmates in a timely manner.
2.Practice and simulate programming more:When learning CNC programming,it is important to practice programming more and deepen understanding and application of programming instructions through practical programming.Programming software can be used to simulate programming,observe the generation of tool paths,and check the correctness and rationality of the program.At the same time,you can also refer to some excellent programming cases to learn from others'programming ideas and skills.
(2)Practical operation
1.Operate under guidance:Beginners must operate equipment and debug molds under the guidance of experienced masters or teachers,strictly follow operating procedures,and ensure personal and equipment safety.During the operation process,it is important to carefully observe the master's steps and methods,listen carefully to explanations and guidance,and promptly record any problems encountered and their solutions.
2.Repeatedly practice and summarize experience:Through repeated practical operations,gradually become familiar with the performance and characteristics of the equipment,and improve the proficiency of operational skills.After each operation,it is necessary to summarize and reflect on the processing process,analyze the causes of problems,summarize lessons learned,and continuously improve one's operating methods and processing technology.
