Analysis of Customized Machine Tool Manufacturers: How to Choose CNC Systems When Selecting Machine

With the diversification of market demand, machine tool manufacturers often provide a selection of multiple CNC equipment for the same machine tool or a selection of multiple selection functions in the CNC system.

The CNC system of machine tool equipment is divided into main flow system and adaptable system. The main flow system is relatively more skilled, but it should also have requirements for users, such as seeking the quality of famous brand systems, hoping to have good after-sales skills in China, and having a relatively concentrated number of CNC systems used by users, in order to grasp the application and prepare for repairing parts. Therefore, user units are willing to equip themselves with CNC systems that they trust or have a good understanding of.

There are significant differences in functionality among the available systems, which directly affect the composition of equipment prices. Therefore, we cannot seek high-level and new systems unilaterally. Instead, we should focus on meeting the needs of the host system, conduct a comprehensive analysis of system functionality and price, and choose a suitable system. At present, the world's most famous CNC systems include FANUC from Japan, SINUMERIK from Germany, NUM from France, FIDIA from Italy, FAGO from Spain, and A-B from the United States. Major machine tool manufacturers also have their own systems. There are also some large CNC system suppliers in China, and each company has a series of various specifications of products.

The basic principles of user selection system are: higher cost performance ratio, more convenient use and maintenance after purchase, longer market life of the system (cannot choose to eliminate the system, otherwise repair parts will not be found after several years of use), etc.

In addition to basic functions, there are many other functions to choose from in the CNC system. For the system installed on the machine tool, the selection function of the CNC system required for the basic requirements of machine tool application has been selected by the manufacturer. Users can select some functions according to their own production management, measurement requirements, tool management, programming requirements, etc., and include them in the purchase order, such as DNC interface networking requirements.
