Advantages of CNC lathes

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is also a universal automatic control device based on the Ao processor, used to complete various logical operations and sequential control of CNC machine tools, such as machine start and stop, workpiece clamping, tool replacement, coolant switch and other auxiliary actions. The PLC also receives commands from the machine tool operation panel: on the one hand, it directly controls the actions of the machine tool; On the other hand, relevant instructions will be sent to CNC for processing process control. The PLC in the CNC system has built-in and independent types.
The operation of CNC machine tools is achieved through a human-machine operation panel, which consists of a CNC panel and a machine tool panel.
The CNC panel is the operation panel of the CNC system, consisting of a display and a Manual Data Input (MDI) keyboard, also known as the MD panel. The lower part of the monitor is permanently equipped with a menu selection button for selecting menus. In addition to various symbol keys, number keys, and function keys, the keyboard can also be set! User defined keys, etc. Operators can manage the system through keyboards and displays, input, store, and edit CNC programs and related data. During processing, the screen can dynamically display system status and fault diagnosis reports. In addition, CNC programs and data can also be input through magnetic disks or communication interface boxes.
The machine tool operation panel is mainly used for manual operation of the machine tool, as well as automatic operation or pre adjustment of the machine tool. There are various buttons and selection switches on it, used for starting and stopping the machine tool and auxiliary equipment, selecting processing methods, and selecting speed ratio; There are Nixie tube and signal display. The operation panel of small and medium-sized CNC machine tools is often integrated with the CNC panel, but there is a clear boundary between the two. The communication interface of the CNC system, such as the serial interface, is permanent and located on the machine tool operation panel.
