What are the requirements for CNC machining routes?

CNC lathe feed processing route refers to the turning tool from the point of tooling (or machine tool fixed origin) to start the movement, until the return to the point and end of the processing program after the path, including the path of cutting processing and tool cutting, cutting out and other non-cutting empty stroke path.

The feed route for finishing is basically along the sequence of its part contour, therefore, the focus of the work to determine the feed route is to determine the roughing and empty stroke feed route.

In CNC lathe machining, the processing route is generally determined by the following principles.

①It should be able to ensure the accuracy and surface roughness of the machined workpiece.

②Make the machining route the shortest, reduce the empty travel time and improve the machining efficiency.

③Simplify the workload of numerical calculation as much as possible and simplify the machining procedure.
