Analysis and review

Analyzing part working drawings and product assembly drawings and conducting process reviews are important steps in customizing CNC yacht accessories. Through the analysis of the working drawing of the parts, the key information such as the size, shape and precision requirements of the parts can be clarified, which provides a basis for the formulation of the subsequent processing technology. At the same time, the study of the assembly drawing of the product helps to understand the position and function of the individual parts in the whole, ensuring that the customized parts will fit perfectly with the other parts. The process review can find the unreasonable place that may exist in the design, such as the processing difficulty is too high, the cost is too high or can not meet the actual use requirements, and communicate with the customer in a timely manner to adjust. The importance of this link is to ensure that customized yacht accessories meet the design requirements, but also have good processability and practicality.

Determine the blank and process route

Determining the blank type and manufacturing method is one of the key steps in customizing CNC yacht accessories. The type of blank mainly depends on the material, shape, size and production volume of the part. Common blank types are castings, forgings, profiles and so on. For example, for parts with complex shapes and large sizes, casting blanks may be used; For parts with higher strength requirements, forging blanks can be selected. The choice of manufacturing method should consider the production cost, production efficiency and blank quality and other factors.

Drawing up CNC machining process route needs to consider many aspects comprehensively. First of all, according to the processing requirements of the parts and the characteristics of the blank, determine the sequence of each processing process. Generally speaking, roughing is carried out first to remove most of the surplus, and then semi-finishing and finishing are carried out to ensure the accuracy and surface quality of the parts. Secondly, it is necessary to reasonably choose processing equipment and tools to improve processing efficiency and quality. For example, for aluminum alloy parts, you can choose high-speed machining centers for processing, using cemented carbide tools to improve processing speed and surface quality. Finally, it is necessary to consider the detection and quality control during the processing to ensure that the quality of the parts meets the requirements.

Determine equipment and machining allowance

Determining the machine tools and process equipment required for each process is an important link to ensure the quality and efficiency of customized CNC yacht accessories processing. Different processing processes require different machine tools and process equipment, for example, rough processing can choose ordinary machining centers, while finishing requires high-precision machining centers. Process equipment, including tools, jigs, measuring tools, etc., should be selected according to the processing requirements of the parts and the characteristics of the machine tool.

Calculating machining allowances and tolerances is one of the key steps in customizing CNC yacht accessories. Machining allowance refers to the thickness of the material that needs to be removed during machining in order to ensure the accuracy and surface quality of the part. The size of the processing allowance depends on the processing requirements of the parts, the quality of the blank and the processing method. Generally speaking, the larger the processing allowance, the higher the processing cost, but the accuracy and surface quality of the parts can be guaranteed; The smaller the processing allowance, the lower the processing cost, but it may affect the accuracy and surface quality of the parts. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably determine the processing allowance according to the actual situation. Tolerance refers to the allowable range of variation in the size of the part, which should be determined according to the requirements of the use of the part and the processing accuracy.

Determine cutting parameters and working hours

Determining the cutting principle is an important link to ensure the quality and efficiency of custom CNC yacht parts processing. Cutting parameters include cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth. The principle of determining the cutting quantity is to improve the processing efficiency as far as possible under the premise of ensuring the processing quality. Generally speaking, the higher the cutting speed, the higher the processing efficiency, but the faster the tool wear; The higher the feed rate, the higher the processing efficiency, but the surface quality may decrease; The greater the cutting depth, the higher the processing efficiency, but it may cause problems such as tool break. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably determine the cutting amount according to the material, shape, size and processing requirements of the parts.

The formulation of reasonable working hour quota is one of the important links of custom CNC yacht accessories. The man-hour quota refers to the time required to complete the machining of a part. A number of factors need to be taken into account in setting the working hour quota, including the complexity of the processing process, the performance of the processing equipment, and the technical level of the workers. Generally speaking, the shorter the working hour quota, the higher the production efficiency, but it may affect the processing quality; The longer the working hour quota, the lower the production efficiency, but the processing quality can be guaranteed. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a reasonable working hour quota according to the actual situation.

Precision ship parts body connection

Precision CNC ship parts include bar parts, arc parts and plate parts. The main body of a pair of strip parts is connected with each other through the secondary auxiliary connecting assembly, the main body of an arc part is also connected with the main body of a strip part through the secondary auxiliary connecting assembly, and the main body of a pair of plate parts is connected with the main body of a strip part through the interactive interlocking structure.

The interpenetrating locking structure consists of a pair of strip extension blocks, a pair of extension block coupling holes, a pair of coupling holes on the block and a pair of locking bolts. A pair of strip extension blocks are respectively installed on the main body of the plate type component, and a coupling hole is provided on the strip extension block. The main body of the strip component is provided with a extension block coupling hole, the strip extension block is inserted into the extension block coupling hole, and the locking bolt is inserted into the coupling hole on the block. The existing splicing vessels are generally divided into three kinds of ship parts in the shape of strip, arc and plate, which can be quickly spliced into simple emergency functional vessels with different needs through arrangement and combination. For example, a pair of plate parts are respectively connected to the strip parts body, and a pair of strip extension blocks are interspersed in a pair of extension block coupling holes, so that the plate parts body can be steadily connected with the strip parts body. After that, a pair of locking pins are stably inserted through a pair of coupling holes in the block. At this time, a pair of locking bolts, while interspersed in the coupling hole on the block, are also tightly attached to the surface of the main body of the strip parts, so that the main body of the strip parts, the main body of the plate parts and the locking bolts are closely combined with each other. This degree of coupling and chimeric tightness is achieved by precision CNC machining and auxiliary slotting. This method can be used to combine and construct the keel connecting plate, deck, side plate, ship beam and other plate type and beam column combined parts, so that the hull can be quickly formed.

Secondary auxiliary connecting components function

The secondary auxiliary connecting assembly comprises a convex assembly block, a concave assembly slot, a back-shape magnetic bonding key and a back-shape magnetic bonding slot. The convex assembly block is respectively installed on the main body of the strip component and the main body of the arc component, and the convex assembly block is connected with the magnetic fitting groove of the circular shape. The main body of the bar component and the main body of the arc component are respectively provided with a concave combination groove, and the concave combination groove is respectively provided with a circular magnetic bonding groove, and the concave combination groove is connected with the circular magnetic bonding bond. The convex assembly block is inserted in the concave assembly groove, and the back-shape magnetic bonding bond is connected with the back-shape magnetic bonding groove by magnetic force.

The combination of arc parts and strip parts requires a combination method that is fast and stable. A convex assembly block and a concave assembly groove are nested at both ends of the main body of the bar component and the main body of the arc component, and irregular lines are arranged on the convex assembly block and the concave assembly groove, which can increase the combined friction force of the two after insertion, so that the combined ship parts can withstand certain impact and pressure without disintegrating. The back-shape magnetic bonding bond and the back-shape magnetic bonding groove are connected and coupled through the magnetic force, and they play the auxiliary effect of screws, which will not be separated when the side is stressed, and can be easily separated when the appropriate force is applied at a specific Angle of the design. Thus, the ship parts can be quickly assembled and disassembled while being firmly connected. This assembly can be used to build components such as the steering wheel, tiller, joystick, mast and boat bones.

Stable processing quality

EVA, PVC and other materials of non-slip mat in the custom processing process, thanks to advanced CNC technology, its processing quality is extremely stable. CNC intelligent machining technology is known for high-precision and high-speed machining, and the processing action is set by the computer, which greatly improves the processing quality and speed. For example, when processing non-slip pads, it is possible to precisely control the size and shape, ensuring that each piece of non-slip pad has a uniform thickness and a neat edge. At the same time, CNC machine tools use high-precision servo system and feedback system, which can monitor various parameters in the machining process in real time, such as cutting force, temperature, vibration and so on. By adjusting these parameters, CNC machines can reduce machining errors and improve the machining accuracy and surface quality of non-slip pads. Whether it is complex pattern carving or fine size requirements, it can be met with high quality.

Multi-axis control with multiple functions

In the process of customizing CNC yacht accessories, functions such as multi-axis linkage and parallel machine tools have played a huge role, greatly improving the processing efficiency and capacity. The multi-axis machining center has a number of independently controlled axes, which can move or rotate in different directions at the same time to realize the processing of complex shapes. For example, when machining complex curved parts for yachts, the five-axis machining center is able to complete the machining in a single setting, saving time and cost while improving machining accuracy. Parallel machine tools combine machine tools with different functions to increase the processing range and processing capacity of the machine tool. For example, the combination of vertical machining center and horizontal machining center can meet the processing needs of different shaped accessories. In addition, the multi-axis control can also achieve the tool to reduce the working direction, the use of shorter tools for machining, improve the cutting speed, reduce the vibration of the tool, thereby improving the processing quality.

Detection and protection functions

In the process of customizing CNC yacht accessories, tool damage alarm, automatic protection of machine overload and other functions ensure the safety and quality of processing. The tool damage alarm function uses infrared, acoustic emission, laser and other detection means to detect the tool in real time. Once the tool is found to be worn, damaged, etc., it can be timely alarm, automatic compensation or replacement of spare tools to ensure product quality. For example, in the process of machining, if the tool is damaged, the system will immediately issue an alarm to stop processing, avoiding product quality problems caused by tool damage. The machine overload automatic protection function can automatically protect the machine according to the load size during the processing. When the load exceeds the maximum load set by the machine, the machine will automatically shut down, avoiding damage to the machine due to overload. The load size can be set and changed by itself, which is convenient to adjust according to different processing requirements.

Real-time detection and adaptive control

On-line workpiece detection and adaptive control function improve cutting efficiency and machining quality. The workpiece online detection function is also known as real-time detection, which is to detect the workpiece in real time in the process of processing, and find and modify errors in time. This function can effectively avoid the problem of remounting and positioning caused by the conventional post-processing detection due to unqualified, shorten the production time and improve the production efficiency. For example, when processing yacht accessories, dimensional deviations and surface quality problems can be found in time through real-time detection, and timely adjustments can be made to ensure product quality. The machine tool with the function can change the induced cutting condition (such as cutting force, temperature, etc.) during the machining process, and control the machine tool in time to change the cutting amount through the adaptive control system, so that the machine tool and the tool always maintain the best state, so as to obtain higher cutting efficiency and processing quality, and extend the service life of the tool.
