1、 Machine tool preparation

Before performing tool alignment on CNC gear hobbing machines, it is necessary to first prepare the machine tool. Specifically, it includes the following aspects:

1. Clean the surface of the machine tool to ensure that it is flat and free of debris.

2. Check whether all components of the machine tool are intact, especially whether the tool clamping force is appropriate.

3. Confirm that the power supply of the machine tool is normal, and start various systems for testing.

2、 Tool settings

The correct setting of cutting tools is crucial for tool alignment in CNC gear hobbing machines. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Place the cutting tools. After selecting the appropriate tool, insert it into the tool holder and clamp it on the machine tool.

2. Set the tool width. Set according to the actual tool width. When setting, ensure that the center of the tool is parallel to the machine coordinate axis.

3. Adjust the cooling system. Adjust according to the material to ensure that the tool does not overheat during processing.

3、 Zero return

Before tool alignment, it is necessary to reset the zero point of the CNC gear hobbing machine. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Select zero point. Select the zero point according to the machining model, ensuring that the selected zero point is within the gear insertion area and is easy to locate.

2. Return to the coordinate axis. According to the coordinate axis where the zero point is located, the homing operation can be achieved by manually moving the tool holder or CNC system.

3. Adjust the zero point. Fine tune according to the actual processing effect to ensure accurate zero point positioning.

4、 Knife alignment operation

When performing tool alignment operations on CNC gear hobbing machines, attention should be paid to the following aspects:

1. Determine the tool position. After returning to its original position, the tool can be adjusted to the preset position through manual or automatic control.

2. Measure the tool position. Use measuring tools such as comparators to measure the tool position and ensure its accuracy.

3. Adjust the tool position. Fine tune based on measurement results to achieve the final goal.

5、 Summary

The above is the entire process of tool alignment for CNC gear hobbing machines. When performing tool alignment,

 it is necessary to fully understand the operating process of the CNC gear hobbing machine and strictly follow the process to ensure the quality of the final machining effect.
