What are the differences between specialized machine tools and modular machine tools

Special machine features:

Special machine tool is a kind of machine tool specially suitable for a specific part or a specific process processing, and is often composed of automatic production line production system, is an indispensable type of machine tool.

Special machine tools generally use multi-axis, multi-tool, multi-process, multi-surface or multi-station processing, the production efficiency is several times higher than the general machine tool to dozens of times. Because common components are now standardized and serialized, they can be flexibly configured according to demand, which can shorten the planning and production cycle. Therefore, special machine tools have the advantages of low cost and high efficiency, and are widely used in large quantities and mass production, and can be used to form automatic production lines.

Special machine tools are generally used for processing box or special shaped parts. During processing, the workpiece is generally not rotated, by the rotary movement of the tool and the relative feed movement of the tool and the workpiece, to complete drilling, reaming, countersinking, reaming, boring, milling the plane, cutting the internal thread and machining the outer circle and end face. Some combination machine tools use the turning head to grip the workpiece to rotate, and the feed movement of the tool can also complete the outer circle and end processing of some rotary parts (such as flywheel, automobile rear axle axle, etc.).

Compared with general special machine tools, combined machine tools have the following characteristics:

(1) Planning combined machine tools only need to select general parts and components and plan to make a small number of special parts and components, which shortens the planning and production cycle and has good economic effect.

(2) The general parts and components selected in the combined machine tool are tested by long-term production, and their structure is stable, reliable, and convenient to use and maintain.

(3) General zero, parts are generally produced in batches by specialized manufacturers, the cost is low, and the equipment investment cost can be reduced.

(4) When the machined parts are changed, the general zero and parts of the combined machine tool can be reused, which is conducive to the updating of the product and improving the utilization rate of the equipment.

(5) The combined machine tool is easy to connect into the combined machine tool automatic line to meet the needs of large-scale production.

With the development of the market economy and the advancement of science and technology, products are required to constantly update, planning and making can adapt to small and medium batch production, satisfied with a variety of processing characteristics, with adjustable, fast, flexible assembly of CNC combined machine tools, is an important trend of combined machine tools at that time. At the same time, constantly expanding the process scope of the combined machine tool and improving its online automatic detection talent is also an important problem that needs to be solved in the development of the combined machine tool.
