There are significant differences between CNC shearing machines and traditional shearing machines in terms of working principles, operating methods, accuracy, and efficiency.
1. Control method
CNC shearing machine: operated by computer numerical control system. By inputting processing parameters, the numerical control system automatically controls the position and movement trajectory of the tool. It provides a higher degree of automation and flexibility to achieve precise shearing operations.
Traditional shearing machine: manual adjustment and mechanical manual operation. The tool and shearing angle need to be manually adjusted according to the shearing requirements. It depends on the operator's technical level and has a low degree of automation.
2. Accuracy and repeatability
CNC shearing machine: CNC system precise shearing machine, good repeatability and small error, which is suitable for complex shearing tasks and mass production.
Traditional shearing machine: relying on manual operation, poor shearing accuracy and repeatability, and the accuracy is easily reduced when used for a long time or when the operator is tired.
3. Production efficiency
CNC shearing machine: does not require frequent adjustments during operation, and has high shearing speed and accuracy, suitable for mass production. Through automated operation, production efficiency can be improved and manual intervention can be reduced.
Traditional shearing machine: when shearing different thicknesses and specifications, manual frequent adjustments are required, which is inefficient and slow in production speed.
4. Adaptability and flexibility
CNC shearing machine: The CNC system can store multiple programs, flexibly adjust equipment parameters according to different processing requirements, and adapt to various shearing tasks. It is more convenient for shearing of complex shapes and irregular graphics.
Traditional shearing machine: It is not flexible enough to operate, and can only perform simple, straight-line shearing. It also needs to manually adjust the settings for plates of different materials or specifications, and has poor adaptability.
5. Operation difficulty and training requirements
CNC shearing machine: The operation requires a certain CNC technical foundation. The operator needs to undergo professional training and understand CNC programming and operating systems. The technical requirements for operators are high.
Traditional shearing machine: The operation is relatively simple, requiring only basic mechanical operation skills and experience, with a low training threshold, and is suitable for production environments with low technical requirements.
6. Repair and maintenance
CNC shearing machine: It involves complex electrical and CNC systems, and troubleshooting and repair are relatively complex, with high maintenance costs. But it has better stability and lower maintenance frequency.
Traditional shearing machine: The mechanical structure is relatively simple, with fewer failures, more convenient maintenance, and lower costs. Mechanical wear may occur after long-term use, and wearing parts need to be checked and replaced regularly.
7. Investment cost
CNC shearing machine: The equipment cost is relatively high, and it integrates complex technologies such as CNC system, electrical control system, hydraulic system, etc., which is suitable for enterprises with large-scale production or high-precision requirements.
Traditional shearing machine: The equipment cost is relatively low, and it is suitable for small-scale or single-batch production.
8. Scope of application
CNC shearing machine: It is suitable for shearing of various materials and different thicknesses, and performs well in large-scale, multi-variety, and complex processing tasks. It is widely used in machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, home appliance production and other industries.
Traditional shearing machine: It is suitable for simpler and single shearing tasks, and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or application scenarios with low requirements for processing accuracy.
The choice of bending machine can be comprehensively considered based on the production scale, processing accuracy requirements, budget and technical level of the enterprise. If the enterprise has high requirements for high precision, high efficiency and flexibility, it is recommended to choose CNC hydraulic shearing machine; if the production task is relatively simple and the budget is limited, the traditional shearing machine may be more suitable.
