How to choose suit cnc router configuration ?
1.Lathe bed and gantry.
The lathe bed is now mostly made of steel structure, and the gantry is divided into two structures: cast aluminum and square steel. The structure and size of the bed and gantry directly determine the weight of the machine tool. To a certain extent, the heavier the weight, the better, because heavy weight means good stability, which directly affects the processing accuracy!
2.Spindle and power.
In terms of working methods, the spindle is divided into two types: water cooling and air cooling. The service life of air cooling is longer than that of water cooling, but the cost is higher. Because water-cooled spindles are generally made in China, but the domestic technology of air-cooled spindles is not very mature yet. Foreign brands: Italian HSD, GC (Columbus), TEKNOMOTOZ (Gree), and other brands are more mature and have a good brand reputation. The high spindle power is suitable for mass production and heavy cutting.
3.Adsorption device.
Batch production can effectively improve efficiency and save clamping time compared to T-slot table (pressing plate).
4.Vacuum cleaning device.
When processing wooden materials, the dust is particularly serious. If it is too dirty, it will be detrimental to the service life of the machine tool or the workers. It is recommended to use it.
5.Control method.
There are two types: DSP handle control and computer connection type. The handle control makes the operation more convenient during work, but has the disadvantage of shorter service life than the online type. It only displays the equipment movement coordinates but not the processing trajectory, while the computer can fully display the simulated processing trajectory and movement coordinates.
6.Transmission system.
Woodworking machines are mostly driven by rack + linear guide rails. The rack ensures the speed of the equipment (free travel and processing speed), and the linear guide (square rail) has good linearity and ensures processing accuracy. The transmission system plays a particularly important role in the entire machine tool, which determines the performance of the machine tool to a certain extent
7.Maintenance and maintenance.
There are two types: fully automatic lubrication system (software control) and semi-automatic lubrication system (manual control)
9.Working voltage.
Under normal circumstances, the rated voltage is v/HZ, and it can be changed to V/HZ in special circumstances.
10.Software.
It is divided into control software and programming software. Control software such as Weihong, Taiwan Baoyuan and Xindai are more mature. Programming software: domestic Wentai, Jingdiao, etc.; foreign countries: French TYPE, British: Artcam, etc.
How to choose the cnc router system ?
The operation of the cnc router woodworking engraving machine is closely related to its control system. Summarizing the woodworking engraving machine control systems on the market, the editor believes that they can be roughly divided into three categories: computer control, handle control and all-in-one machine control.
1. Computer control: that is, by installing the Weihong control card on the PCI slot of the computer motherboard and installing the Weihong software driver on the computer to control the walking of the XYZ axis of the engraving machine and the rotation of the spindle motor, you can preview the processing effect. , you can see the processing trajectory at any time, and if the program loading error can be corrected in time; the Weihong control system is currently the most widely used system in the engraving machine control system, with a user-friendly interface, simple and convenient operation, complete functions, and extremely high program compatibility. Various engraving CAM software can be imported directly or indirectly. The disadvantage is that you need to configure a separate computer, but fortunately, the computer configuration requirements are very low. For customers with a small budget, you can configure a second-hand obsolete computer by yourself. Now Weihong has launched multiple versions of different control software and hardware, including multi-axis linkage.
Weihong control card:
2. Handle control: You can hold it in your hand to control the movement of the engraving machine. It saves space and does not take up a computer; the disadvantage is that it is relatively troublesome to operate. After all, all functions are integrated on a control panel. It is easy for unskilled operators to press the wrong function keys. It is widely used with various engraving machines (including four-axis linkage), without occupying a separate computer, greatly reducing the equipment’s footprint, and it is also more convenient to set the tool. The disadvantage is that there are no preview and other functions, and the interface is not as intuitive as a computer.
DSP handle:
3. All-in-one machine control: independent one-piece design, using industrial computers, PLC and other integrated controls, with rich interfaces and complete functions, and can realize multi-axis control and automatic tool change. Mainly used in high-end engraving machines, machining centers, and some mold machine engraving machines. The anti-interference ability of the control system, as well as all aspects of performance and control accuracy are better than other categories. This system is not mainstream in CNC operating systems. , but in the engraving machine control system, it is the mainstream of the all-in-one machine category. The disadvantage is that the price is high and the operability is more like CNC machine tools. For some customers, the operation is not as simple as the former.
All-in-one control
For cnc router woodworking engraving machines, the three control systems have their own advantages and disadvantages, so everyone must be careful when choosing. Users who use woodworking engraving machines to cut materials generally choose all-in-one machine control and industrial panels, while customers who make reliefs and patterns generally choose computer control or handle control.

What consume spares of cnc router ?
1. Consumable parts of engraving machine
The engraving machine is composed of a considerable number of parts. The wearing parts mainly include the machine head, guide rails, motors, belts, bearings and other components. These parts have a short service life and are easily damaged.1. Consumable parts of engraving machine
1. Machine head
The machine head is the core component of the engraving machine, mainly composed of the spindle and the tool holder. Due to the wear and vibration of the machine head caused by long-term working, coupled with the different hardness of the engraving materials, it is easy to cause damage to the machine head.
2. Guide rail
Guide rails are one of the accuracy guarantees of engraving machines, mainly linear guide rails and sliders. Because the engraving machine moves very quickly and has high precision, it is necessary to ensure the smoothness and wear resistance of the guide rails to avoid precision deviations due to excessive friction.
3. Motor
The motor is the core power component of the engraving machine, and the spindle is driven by the rotation of the motor. However, the service life is not long, and the motor may be damaged due to overheating or overload.
4. Belt
The engraving machine drives the bearings and motor through a belt drive. However, the belt is also a wearing part that needs to be replaced regularly. Its service life is short, and every use will lead to its deterioration.
5. Bearings
Bearings are one of the components that are often affected by the engraving machine during operation. The main reason is that the engraving machine shakes back and forth, and the spindle rotates in reverse, resulting in different bearing pressures on the wheel hubs, resulting in losses.
Solutions for wearing parts
Although the engraving machine has many wearing parts, its damage can be minimized through the following solutions:
1. When the service life of the engraving machine reaches the limit, replace the wearing parts in time.
2. Regularly inspect and maintain the engraving machine to avoid malfunctions caused by improper operation.
3. Pay attention to the processing materials during the engraving process to avoid damage to the engraving machine’s wearing parts due to excessively hard materials.
In short, in terms of daily maintenance, using the above methods well can extend the service life of the engraving machine and carry out processing operations smoothly.
