Common issues and improvement methods in CNC machining

I. Diagnosis and Countermeasures for the Top 10 CNC Machining Issues

1. Workpiece Over-Cutting Issue

Phenomenon Analysis

  1): Tool elastic deformation causing machining deviation
  2): Inconsistent execution of operating standards
  3): Uneven material allowance distribution (Sidewall: 0.5mm / Bottom: 0.15mm)
  4): Improper cutting parameter settings

Professional Solutions

➊: Three key principles for tool selection: Larger diameter > Shorter cutting
 length > Higher rigidity
➋: Add corner cleaning processes to maintain uniform material allowance
on sidewalls and bottom surfaces
➌: Key parameter adjustments:
     Reduce tolerance range to ±0.02mm
     Add R0.5 fillet at corners
     Enable SF adaptive feed rate function

2. Coordinate System Calibration Errors

Key Risk Factors

  1: Precision deviations in manual operations
  2: Measurement interference from burrs
  3: Magnetic effects causing errors

Precision Calibration Solutions

  ➊ : Use ceramic probes to eliminate magnetic interference
  ➋ : Perform three repeated calibrations and take the average value
  ➌ : Four-step burr removal process(Oil stone grinding → File trimming              → Cloth cleaning → Hand verification)

2. Coordinate System Calibration Errors

Key Risk Factors

  1: Precision deviations in manual operations
  2: Measurement interference from burrs
  3: Magnetic effects causing errors

3. Tool System Error Control

Error Sources

  1): Inconsistent tool-setting reference points
  2): Tool insert installation errors
  3): Mixed tool type deviations

Precision Calibration Solutions

  ➊ : Calibrate using dedicated tool presetters
  ➋ : Standardize tool holder cleaning procedures
  ➌ : Establish a tool error compensation database

4. CNC Collision Prevention in Programming

High-Risk Scenarios

  1): Insufficient safety height settings
  2): Incorrect tool parameter input
  3): Coordinate system setting deviations

Intelligent Collision Prevention System

➊: Dual safety parameter verification mechanism
➋: AI-assisted programming system
➌: Automatically generates 3D machining simulations 
➍: Real-time collision detection and alerts

5. Operator Safety Guidelines

Typical Errors

  1): Incorrect axial movement direction
  2): Mismatched tools
  3): Manual operation mishandling

Five-Layer Safety Assurance

➊: Dual-operator review system
➋: Electronic safety fence installation
➌: RFID tool identification system
➍: Mandatory Z-axis priority lift process
➎: Monthly operator certification assessments

II. Golden Rules for Cutting Parameter Optimization

Cutting Parameter Decision Matrix

Parameter CombinationApplicable ScenariosAdvantages
Low speed + High feed rateTitanium alloy / Hardened steel machiningExtends tool life by 30%
High speed + Low feed ratePrecision aluminum machiningAchieves surface roughness Ra < 0.8
Variable parameter machiningComposite material layered cuttingPrevents material delamination

Advanced Optimization Strategies

 Intelligent Parameter Matching System
1: Automatically recommends parameters based on a material database
2: Real-time vibration monitoring with automatic adjustments

Tool Lifecycle Management
1: Integrate RFID chips to track tool usage cycles
2: Establish a wear prediction model
