Dual channel profile machining centerIt is a high-performance and high-precision CNC machine tool widely used in manufacturing, medical equipment, automotive, aviation, electronics, shipbuilding and other fields, especially suitable for high-speed processing of new energy, aluminum profiles and other materials. Its working principle is based on technologies such as drilling, milling, and threading. It adopts CNC system control and intelligent processing production. The design of two work platforms, two Z-axes, and two tool magazines enables the machine tool to simultaneously process two workpieces or process different parts of a workpiece, greatly improving processing efficiency.
Dual channel profile machining centerThe core characteristics of
1. Dual station parallel processing, doubling efficiency
Features: The machine tool is equipped with two independent or semi independent processing units (channel A and channel B), which can simultaneously process two identical workpieces or alternately process workpieces from different processes.
Advantage:
Double production efficiency: In an ideal situation, the theoretical production capacity is 200% of that of a single channel equipment. Especially suitable for large-scale and standardized profile processing.
Shortening cycle time: When one channel is processing, the other channel can perform auxiliary operations such as loading and unloading, clamping, and tool alignment, achieving parallel processing and preparation, greatly reducing non processing time (idle stroke).
Improve equipment utilization: The equipment can be almost continuously in processing state, with a higher return on investment.
2. Highly automated, reducing manual intervention
Features: Dual channel design naturally adapts to automation integration.
Advantage:
Easy to integrate automatic loading and unloading: configurable robots or truss manipulators can circulate workpieces between two workstations, achieving 24-hour unmanned production.
Reduce labor intensity: Operators do not need to frequently enter the processing area, only need to monitor equipment operation and replenish blanks/collect finished products.
Ensure stable production pace: Automated processes reduce the variability of human operations, resulting in more stable production.
3. Flexible processing mode
Features: Supports multiple processing strategies to adapt to different production needs.
Advantage:
Synchronous processing: Two channels run the same program simultaneously to process the same batch of parts, maximizing efficiency.
Alternating machining: one channel is used for rough machining, while the other channel is used for precision machining, achieving process integration and reducing workpiece turnover.
Independent processing: Two channels run different programs to process workpieces of different models or processes, improving equipment flexibility and suitable for multi variety and small batch production.
4. Share resources and optimize costs
Characteristic: Two machining channels usually share the core resources of the machine tool.
Advantage:
Shared Tool Library (ATC): One tool library serves two spindles, reducing the number and cost of tool libraries and simplifying tool management.
Shared control system: A CNC system controls two channels, reducing electrical control costs and facilitating program management and data synchronization.
Shared auxiliary systems: cooling system, lubrication system, chip removal system, air source, etc. usually serve the entire machine, with high resource utilization.
5. High precision and high stability
Features: Based on high rigidity bed and precision transmission system.
Advantage:
High rigidity structure: The integral casting bed body can effectively resist the cutting force during dual spindle simultaneous machining, reduce vibration, and ensure machining accuracy.
Precision transmission: using high-precision ball screws and linear guides to ensure positioning accuracy and repeatability accuracy (usually up to ± 0.01mm).
Good thermal stability: Symmetrical or optimized structural design helps to achieve uniform distribution of thermal deformation and reduce thermal errors.
6. Powerful CNC control system
Features: Equipped with high-D CNC systems that support multi-channel control (such as Siemens 840D, Heidenhain TNC, FANUC 31i, etc.).
Advantage:
Independent programming and management: It is possible to independently write, store, and call processing programs for each channel.
Channel switching and synchronization: The system can accurately control the start stop, speed matching, and safety interlocking of two channels.
Rich features: Supports profile specific loops (drilling, milling, cutting, tapping), coordinate rotation, mirroring, subroutine calls, etc.
Graphic programming and simulation: Provides an intuitive programming interface and tool path simulation, reducing programming errors and trial cutting time.
7. Specially designed for profile optimization
Features: Specially designed for the geometric characteristics and processing requirements of profiles.
Advantage:
Long stroke design: The X-axis (longitudinal) stroke is long and can process profiles several meters long.
Specialized fixture system: equipped with pneumatic or hydraulic pressure plates, capable of quickly and reliably clamping profiles of different cross-sections.
Multi axis linkage: usually 3 axes (X, Y, Z), some high-end models are equipped with a rotating worktable (A axis) or a swing head (B axis) to achieve five axis linkage and process complex spatial holes and surfaces.
Efficient chip removal: equipped with high flow cooling and powerful chip removal device, ensuring timely chip removal and avoiding scratching and blockage of workpieces.
8、 安全性高
Features: Equipped with comprehensive safety protection.
Advantage:
Fully enclosed protective cover: effectively isolates chips, coolant, and noise.
Safety interlock: When the protective door is opened, the machine tool automatically stops all movements.
Dual channel independent monitoring: The system can independently monitor the status of each channel to prevent interference.
