In the realm of iron mold machining, achieving high efficiency and precision in milling complex contours is a constant pursuit. The bridge-type double-column structure has emerged as a game-changer, offering significant improvements over traditional vertical or gantry structures.
Let's start by understanding the core advantages of the bridge-type double-column structure. This design features a fixed crossbeam and worktable, which greatly enhances the rigidity and dynamic stability of the machine tool. Compared with traditional vertical or gantry machines, the DC1113, a bridge-type double-column CNC milling machine, shows remarkable performance improvements in heavy cutting scenarios. In actual tests, it can process 3 more workpieces per hour and reduce the surface roughness by 0.5μm compared to traditional models.
When it comes to iron mold machining, vibration is a major factor that can lead to accuracy deviations. The bridge-type double-column structure effectively addresses this issue. By fixing the crossbeam and worktable, it reduces the impact of vibration on the machining process. In vibration tests, the vibration amplitude of the DC1113 is significantly lower than that of traditional vertical or gantry machines, as shown in the vibration test curve (Figure 2).
In terms of overall machine rigidity, the bridge-type double-column structure provides better support for the cutting process. The fixed crossbeam and worktable design distribute the cutting force more evenly, allowing the machine to maintain its shape and accuracy even under heavy loads. This is crucial for achieving high precision in complex contour milling.
Thermal balance management is another important aspect. The bridge-type double-column structure is designed to minimize the impact of heat on the machine's performance. Through proper heat dissipation channels and materials selection, it can maintain a stable temperature during the machining process, reducing thermal deformation and ensuring long-term accuracy.
In large cast iron part machining, the bridge-type double-column structure shows its superiority. For example, when machining large cast iron frames, the DC1113 can complete the milling process more efficiently and accurately. The fixed crossbeam and worktable design allow for better control of the cutting process, resulting in higher surface quality and dimensional accuracy.
In insert machining, the ability to achieve high precision and efficiency is also crucial. The DC1113 can handle the complex contours of inserts with ease, thanks to its high rigidity and dynamic stability. In actual production, it can reduce the machining time by 20% and improve the surface finish by 30% compared to traditional methods.
From the perspective of vibration control, the bridge-type double-column structure can effectively suppress vibration during the machining process. This is achieved through its unique structural design and the use of vibration-damping materials. As a result, the machining accuracy is greatly improved, and the surface quality of the workpiece is also enhanced.
In terms of overall machine rigidity, the fixed crossbeam and worktable design provide a solid foundation for the cutting process. This allows the machine to withstand heavy loads without significant deformation, ensuring the long-term stability of the machining accuracy.
Thermal balance management is also a key factor. The bridge-type double-column structure is designed to maintain a stable temperature during the machining process. By using heat dissipation channels and heat-resistant materials, it can reduce the impact of heat on the machine's performance, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the machining process.
To ensure the long-term stable operation of the bridge-type double-column CNC milling machine, proper daily maintenance is essential. Here are some practical maintenance suggestions:
