Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece processing technology, and in particular to an automatic workpiece positioning device for a CNC lathe. Background Technology

[0002] CNC lathes are among the most widely used CNC machine tools. They are mainly used for cutting and machining internal and external cylindrical surfaces, internal and external conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating internal and external curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads on shaft or disc-shaped parts. They can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, boring, and other machining operations. The automatic workpiece positioning device on a CNC lathe is an important piece of equipment in modern manufacturing processes. It can improve machining accuracy and efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and is widely used in various CNC machine tools such as CNC lathes, milling machines, and grinding machines. It reduces the need for workers to manually position workpieces, reduces labor intensity, and at the same time, its high degree of automation shortens the workpiece processing time and improves production efficiency.

[0003] In actual use, the automatic workpiece positioning device of existing CNC lathes is not convenient for moving the workpiece to the processing area. When placing the workpiece, starting the equipment can easily cause personal injury.

[0004] A search of existing patents revealed a positioning device for a CNC lathe workpiece (Publication No.: CN211439141U). This device includes a lathe body with a base fixed to its upper surface. The outer wall of the base has a sliding groove. A second connecting seat and a first connecting seat are respectively located on the left and right sides above the base. Both the first and second connecting seats are connected to the base via sliders. This positioning device for a CNC lathe workpiece, by setting the first and second connecting seats above the base and having the slider move within the sliding groove, effectively facilitates the fixing of the workpiece and also facilitates its movement. Rotating the rotating rod to make it fit against the base effectively secures the adjusted first and second connecting seats, increasing the accuracy during machining. Furthermore, the base is equipped with a scale and pointer, allowing for real-time monitoring of the workpiece's position and increasing the efficiency of the CNC machine tool.

[0005] While the aforementioned patent effectively facilitates the fixing of workpieces and makes them easy to move, increasing the accuracy of machining, and the base is equipped with a ruler and pointer to effectively check the position of the workpiece at any time, thus increasing the working efficiency of CNC machine tools, it is not convenient for quickly positioning and machining workpieces, and the manual installation and positioning is relatively cumbersome.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an automatic workpiece positioning device for CNC lathes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
