The speed and indexing switching of the turning and milling compound spindle are the "two magic weapons" in turning and milling compound processing! Let me reveal to you the way to switch between them.

This is mainly achieved through the M code and S code of the numerical control system. For instance, M13 or M14 can control the forward or reverse rotation of the spindle, while the S code can set the specific rotational speed. For instance, the M13 S1500 enables the main shaft to rotate forward at a speed of 1500 revolutions per minute. In actual processing, you can flexibly adjust the rotational speed according to the material, cutting tools and processing requirements.

The indexing switch, that is, the control of the C-axis, relies on the G-code of the numerical control system. Like G0 C0. G0 C90. Such instructions can make the main shaft rotate to the specified Angle position. When performing indexing switching, it is necessary to first ensure that the spindle has come to a complete stop, then input the new indexing Angle command, and finally rotate the spindle to the new position.

 

Youdaoplaceholder0 tips ‌ :

 

Before switching the speed and indexing, let the machine tool come to a complete stop first to avoid collision or damage.

 

After switching, remember to check the operating status and processing accuracy of the machine tool to ensure they are normal.

 

If you are a programming novice, you can refer to machine tool manuals and programming guides more often, or seek advice from experienced masters.

 

How about it? Isn't the method for switching the rotational speed and indexing of the turning and milling compound spindle less mysterious now?
