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.
Here isDual channel profile machining centerThe main components are classified and explained by functional modules:
1、 Bed and structural system
Whole welded bed body: Made of high-strength steel plate welded and annealed to ensure rigidity and stability.
Protective cover/sheet metal shell: enclosed or semi enclosed structure, dust-proof, anti chip, noise reducing, and integrated safety door.
Supporting drum/conveyor system: used for automatic feeding, positioning, and support of long profiles to reduce deformation.
2、 Dual channel workbench system
Two independent working channels (Channel A&Channel B):
Each channel is equipped with an independent fixture system (pneumatic/hydraulic clamps).
It can be programmed separately, run independently, or collaborate for collaborative processing.
Profile clamping device:
Multi point adaptive clamp, suitable for different cross-sectional shapes.
Equipped with anti slip and anti pressure soft clamps (such as polyurethane).
3、 Spindle and tool magazine system
Multi spindle power head (common configuration):
Vertical spindle: used for end face milling and drilling.
Horizontal spindle (1 or more on each side): used for side machining.
45 ° oblique spindle (optional): used for chamfering and oblique hole machining.
The spindle power is usually 3-7.5 kW, and the speed can reach 6000-24000 rpm.
Automatic Tool Change System (ATC):
The capacity of the knife magazine is generally 6-12 knives (chain or disc).
Support automatic switching of drill bits, milling cutters, taps, countersunks, etc.
Cooling and lubrication system: Provides minimal lubrication (MQL) or compressed air cooling to avoid aluminum chip adhesion.
4、 Numerical Control and Servo Drive System
CNC control system:
Common brands: Siemens, FANUC, SYNTEC, LNC, etc.
Support G-code programming, with some equipped with specialized profile processing software (such as AluManager, OPTICUT, etc.).
Servo motor and driver:
The X/Y/Z axis and rotating axis (such as the B axis) are both controlled by high-precision servo.
The positioning accuracy is usually ± 0.02 mm, and the repeated positioning accuracy is ± 0.01 mm.
5、 Automatic feeding and discharging system (optional/high configuration)
Front feeding mechanism: Automatically grab profiles and feed them into the processing area.
Rear discharge rack: equipped with rollers or belts, receiving processed profiles.
Length measurement and positioning system: laser length measurement or encoder feedback to achieve precise sizing.
6、 Auxiliary system
Chip removal system:
Spiral chip conveyor or chain plate chip conveyor is used to collect aluminum chips in a centralized manner.
Pneumatic/Hydraulic System:
Control actions such as clamping, tool changing, and protective doors.
Safety protection device:
Emergency stop button, grating protection, access control interlock, overload alarm, etc. comply with CE or national safety regulations.
Human Machine Interaction Interface (HMI):
Industrial touch screen, supporting graphical programming, processing simulation, and fault diagnosis.
7、 Special function module (optional according to requirements)
Sawing unit: Integrated circular saw, realizing the integration of "saw+milling+drilling".
Tapping unit: dedicated tapping spindle, supporting rigid tapping teeth.
Visual recognition system: automatically recognize profile sections or QR codes, and call the corresponding program.
Dual station exchange table: further enhance continuous processing capability (similar to "processing+loading" parallel).
