Metalworking machines is the name of a group of machines designed for the processing of hard metals. These mechanisms are installed on special foundations, as vibration can occur during operation. When installed, they are firmly fixed. It is also necessary to observe all the intervals that are required for normal operation: between the machine and the wall, between the machines, the width of the passage. When installing, the rule is observed: the main passage and doors must not be cluttered.
When installing the machine, it must be positioned so that there are no intersecting and opposite cargo flows, and the rotating parts of the machines should not constrain the aisles to the exit from the working room. For correct placement, take into account the overhang of movable tables and other parts of machines that can move out of the original position; similarly, the place for the location of blanks, a box for finished parts, boxes with tools and other materials is calculated.
Metalworking machine tools, in terms of a variety of types, rank first among the general group of electrified units and machines. They are equipped with modern types of electric drives and automatic controls. This ensures high precision metal processing and safety at work, as well as high productivity.
All machines of this type are divided into universal and special. General purpose machines are also called "general purpose machines." They can handle a large number of different parts, the machine is easily reconfigured. Specialized machines allow you to work with a group of similar parts, similar in size and type. And on special machines they work with only one type of workpiece.
By the type of control, the machines are manual and programmed. The operator can program the machine by setting the required sequence and number of actions. It is also possible to use the recorded program for metalworking machines. With manual control, all actions are initiated, performed and controlled by the person working at the machine.
