Engraving and milling machine must try carving before purchasing

Many people are not clear about the difference between engraving machines and engraving and milling machines. People intuitively feel that the small format is an engraving machine, and the large format is an engraving and milling machine, or a chiseling machine, a router, or simply a large engraving machine. In fact, they are two types of machines with different structures, but the working principle is roughly the same. They are driven by three axes, X, Y, and Z, and controlled by electronic controllers.

Before engraving and milling machine purchase, you must try carving:

Before you buy the engraving and milling machine, you must test engraving. Before purchasing the engraving and milling machine, in order to ensure your investment recovery, you should let the sales staff or you do it yourself to carry out the test engraving on the work you do most often. At the same time, calculate the ergonomics, observe the effects, fully test the performance of the machine, and truly realize what you have in mind. Also note the following four points:

一 ： Choose the right model

For the first purchase of a small advertising signboard shop, mainly for the production of three-dimensional characters such as three-dimensional characters, crystal characters, two-color plates, and badges, etc., you should purchase advertising-grade ones, but you should further refine the machine configuration, such as mainly two-color Board, it must be equipped with a floating cutter head, because it can ensure that the lettering is the same in depth when engraving on the two-color plate with a large layout, but it is mainly used for sawing plexiglass crystal characters. Otherwise, long-term heavy work with a low-power and high-precision spindle will accelerate bearing wear and lose accuracy.

Twenty-two: Clarify the nature of work

Don't think that you can do all the work by buying a CNC engraving and milling machine. Manufacturers divide the CNC engraving and milling machine into various specifications and models in order to deal with various processing tasks. For example, you buy a mold-level CNC engraving and milling machine to engraving two-color plates, or you buy a large-scale CNC engraving and milling machine to engraving stamps, which will cause huge waste, and will not get good results.

# 3: Delivery and training

After the CNC engraving and milling machine arrives, the technicians usually come to carry out the unpacking and inspection of the machine. After the power is turned on, the appearance should be carefully checked for damage and whether it will be damaged by impact during transportation. If it is intact, check the random accessories for machine configuration against the contract with the manual. Machine installation by technicians (including hardware installation, removal of fixed parts, placement of the machine. Connection of power supply with various cables. Software installation, configuration of computer, installation of optional engraving software). After installation, use the test chart file provided by the factory to conduct engraving test on the machine. If the engraving test is completed correctly, the test delivery acceptance is completed.

24: Signing a contract

决定 After deciding to purchase, the first thing to do is to sign a contract with the seller. The contract should specify the purchased model, configuration, price, delivery time and delivery method, training methods, warranty terms, and payment methods. After the contract is signed, a certain deposit should normally be paid in accordance with the contract (except for those in stock).

The engraving and milling machine realizes automation through the loading and unloading spindle. The loading and unloading axis of the engraving and milling machine grabs the workpiece from the side conveyor and conveys it to the processing area. This short stroke ensures a short chip-to-chip time. This process allows extremely flexible use of various tools. In addition, two engraving and milling machines and a turning unit can be combined into a flexible production unit-one side and the other side of the workpiece are completely machined in one process such as CNC turning. And the Y axis integrated into the turret can also process very complex "eccentric" geometric workpieces.
