Specifications for a suitable CNC machine
Considering the integration of a new CNC machine into your workshop requires a comprehensive approach
Considering the integration of a new CNC machine into your workshop requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account all the important points for a complete and realistic set of specifications. At KMSYSTEM, we have identified three key areas to ensure the performance and longevity of your investment.
Materials and Tools
The nature of the materials to be processed is the primary factor in deciding on the design of your machine.
- Composites and Polymers: Often require high rotation speeds and specific dust management.
- Soft Metals (Aluminum, Brass): Require constant motor torque and optimized lubrication.
The choice of motorization and spindle power, as well as the rigidity of the frame, particularly vibration absorption, are directly related to these tool/material combinations. Precise specifications on this point avoid costly oversizing or, conversely, premature wear of components.
Optimizing cycle times
Determining your throughput targets is essential for defining the machine architecture.
- Ultra-fast tool changes and simple loading/unloading systems.
- Optimization of non-material movements to maximize cutting time.
Safety
In a modern production environment, electromagnetic interference (EMI) can corrupt data flows and cause unexplained production stoppages.
- We now recommend the use of industrial Ethernet.
- Unlike conventional connections, these protocols guarantee stable transmission between the numerical control and the drives, even in the vicinity of strong sources of interference.
A French manufacturer of customized CNC solutions since 1998, KMSYSTEM does not just manufacture machines: we design production tools optimized for your challenges.
