Working Principle
The core working principle of an aluminum profile cutting machine is to use CAD software to design 2D/3D layout files, and use CAM software to create G-code. Then, an automatic computer controller is used to start processing, read the G-code, start programming, and drive the spindle to move along the tool path. Through high-speed rotating specialized cutting tools (mostly hard alloy saw blades), cutting force is applied to the fixed aluminum profile, and the profile is cut according to the preset size. At the same time, a cooling system is used to reduce cutting temperature and burrs.
The key work steps can be broken down into 5 points, which are clear and easy to understand:
1. Design 2D or 3D drawings using CAD software.
2. Convert CAD files into G-code using CAM software.
3. Fixed positioning: Place the aluminum profile into the fixture of the workbench and fix it with a manual or automatic clamping device to avoid profile displacement during cutting.
4. High speed cutting: After starting the equipment, the spindle drives the saw blade to rotate at a speed of thousands of revolutions per minute. The hard alloy teeth on the saw blade cut into the aluminum profile, and the profile is cut through the composite effect of "milling+shearing".
5. Cooling protection: During the cutting process, the cooling system (mostly spray type) continuously sprays coolant onto the cutting points of the saw blade and profile, which not only prevents the saw blade from overheating and wear, but also reduces aluminum chip adhesion and profile cutting burrs.
Types
Aluminum profile cutting saws are divided into single head cutting saws, double head cutting saws, and multi head cutting saws
Single head cutting saws are divided into 90 ° cutting saws and arbitrary angle cutting saws
Double headed cutting saws are divided into 90 ° cutting saws, 45 ° cutting saws, 90 ° 45 ° double angle cutting saws, and arbitrary angle cutting saws
Multi head cutting saw is a customized machine that can customize the number of cutting blades according to customer requirements.
Cost
The cost range of aluminum profile cutting saws is very large, and the core is affected by the degree of automation, ranging from several thousand yuan to several hundred thousand yuan. It can be specifically divided into four mainstream ranges, accurately matching budget and demand:
1. Manual/simple semi-automatic: The lowest cost, with a unit price of about 5000-30000 yuan. Suitable for small-scale processing of door and window frames and thin materials, with no complex functions. The core cost is concentrated in the basic body and ordinary saw blades, and the maintenance cost in the later stage is also low (only requiring regular replacement of saw blades).
2. Single head multi angle cutting saw: The unit price is about 30000 to 80000 yuan. Compared to ordinary single head saws, it has an additional angle adjustment mechanism. The core cost lies in the precise rotation positioning component, which is suitable for small batch customized processing. In the later maintenance, extra attention should be paid to the loss of angle adjustment components.
3. Double headed automatic cutting saw: a mainstream cost-effective model with a unit price of about 40000 yuan to 200000 yuan. The body, spindle, and automatic feed mechanism of the two saw heads are the cost core, suitable for small and medium-sized door and window factories. In addition to the saw blade, regular maintenance of the clamping device and feed guide rail is required in the later stage.
4. Double head fully automatic/multi head arbitrary angle cutting saw: the highest cost, with a unit price of about 200000-800000 yuan (multi head saw is even higher). The core cost is the automation control system (such as PLC), automatic feeding/unloading mechanism, and high-precision positioning components, which are suitable for large-scale production and have high maintenance costs in the later stage (including electrical control system and transmission component maintenance).
Buying Guide
There are various types of CNC machines in the world, as well as various brands and manufacturers. This phenomenon has both advantages and disadvantages for buyers. The benefit is that customers have more choices and can purchase more useful machines from distributors. Unfortunately, after watching too much, they don't know which one is the best to buy. As the saying goes, it's not good to be cheap, it's not good to be cheap.
So, what should be considered when making a purchase?
Step 1. Meet your requirements
Numerical control machines are unable to complete all tasks. In order to professionally process different materials, manufacturers classify them into multiple types. Machines with high cutting accuracy may have low efficiency, while those with high cutting efficiency may have insufficient precision. If you buy a large industrial machine to cut small crafts, it will not only waste a lot of money, but also have a negative impact. So before making a purchase, it is important to communicate clearly with the salesperson to let them know your intended use, including the dimensions of the workpiece, the material of the workpiece, the processing effect, and so on.
Step 2. Type and Model Selection
If you need to process door and window corner codes, we have machines specifically designed for processing corner codes. If you need to cut large aluminum materials, we have customized width and height large cutting machines. Therefore, you should purchase professional machines according to your business plan and project.
Step 3. Provide a solution
Before purchasing, in order to ensure the capability of the machine you have chosen, technicians will provide the most suitable solution based on materials and needs.
Step 4. Sign the contract
After completing the above three points, it is necessary to sign the procurement contract. A complete contract is the best guarantee for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of individuals. Firstly, the contract should clearly indicate the purchased model, configuration, price, delivery time and method, training method, warranty terms, and specific payment method. After the contract is signed, the corresponding deposit is generally paid according to the contract agreement. We must comply with the content agreement of the signed contract to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the seller in the future.
Step 5. Delivery and Training
After the machine is shipped on time, the supplier's technicians will assist you in opening the packaging box and conducting an inspection in your workshop (if you have already paid for the door-to-door service, the technicians will arrive at your workshop before arrival). During transportation, the appearance of the machine should be carefully inspected for any damage. If good, check the parts and accessories according to the packing list and contract terms. Next, let the technicians set up the machine (including hardware assembly, software installation, and debugging). After setting up, conduct sample testing on the machine. If the completed project is good, the delivery inspection will be completed. According to the contract, the user should pay off the remaining balance. Employees are required to have a strong sense of safety responsibility and must possess proficient machine tool operation skills before starting work. During the training process, you should be proficient in selecting different cutting speeds and using different drill bits and tools for different materials. This requires skills and experience. Good mastery is more conducive to extending the service life of machines and tools.
Step 6. Service and Support
When you encounter hardware and software problems during use, you need to contact the dealer, communicate clearly, make the service personnel aware of the problem and start troubleshooting, do not handle it yourself, which may cause accidents when you are not familiar with the machine tool, and the manufacturer may refuse to continue providing warranty services for the equipment. In terms of after-sales service, we can require CNC machine tool manufacturers to strictly comply with the contract agreement. If you encounter intentional procrastination or poor attitude, you can file a complaint with the person in charge.
Things to Consider
Most buyers are starting to focus on online shopping instead of traditional offline purchasing methods. In your online research and purchasing process, you must consider the items listed above. It will take you through an easy to follow purchasing guide for CNC machine tools. You can pick up the goods at a higher price from the local mechanical workshop, or you can purchase them online from CNC manufacturers at low cost with the manufacturer's direct service and support. It all depends on your budget plan and business needs. In short, what suits your job is the most important thing.
