With the popularity of intelligent manufacturing, more and more automation equipments are springing up. Now it seems that the market has not seen the shadow of traditional machine tools, are basically replaced by CNC machine tools. Compared with the working mode of traditional machine tools, CNC machine tools have more obvious advantages. Its processing quality is better, the precision is higher, receives more people's affection. But will traditional machine tools be eliminated? No, at least not in the short term.
1. Compared with today's many automation equipment and even laser equipment, the advantage that traditional machine tools only need manual operation is still supported by many teachers. Because not every worker can program, for the person in charge of the enterprise, NC programmers often need higher salary, and there are many kinds of NC systems. It is obviously more difficult to find an operator who is proficient in NC machine tools than a traditional machine tool worker.
2. For enterprises, it is very important to control the production cost. Many traditional machine tools, especially lathes, have the same power. The purchase cost of CNC lathes is several times more expensive than that of ordinary lathes, and the later maintenance, repair, supporting consumables and other costs are also much higher. Although the current CNC machine tools are constantly replacing the traditional machine tools, but the advantage of cheap and affordable traditional machine tools can not be replaced, so it is difficult to completely eliminate the traditional machine tools in the short term.
3. Today's machine tool users prefer the word "customization", which also puts forward higher requirements for machine tool manufacturers. In the production of this kind of machine tools, because the parts are customized products, many times workers need to modify the processed parts for the second time. It would be a waste of time and energy to use the CNC machine tool programming at this time. Many teachers directly through the traditional machine tool for simple processing, parts can be used, this is one of the important reasons for many manufacturers to retain the traditional machine tool.
Therefore, we can see that although the effect of CNC machine tools in many aspects is much better than that of traditional machine tools, traditional machine tools still have many advantages that can not be replaced by CNC machine tools. Therefore, traditional machine tools will not be eliminated in the short term.
