Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of CNC machine tool technology, and more specifically, relates to a micro CNC machine tool. Background Technology

[0002] CNC machine tools, short for numerical control machine tools, are automated machine tools equipped with a program control system. They can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode them, input them into the CNC device via an information carrier, and issue various control signals to direct the machine tool to automatically complete the machining of parts. CNC machine tools play an important role in modern manufacturing and are widely used in the machining of various precision and complex parts.

[0003] Currently, in machining, we often encounter small-sized workpieces. When using general-purpose CNC machine tools for machining, the small size of the workpiece means that the full length of the general-purpose CNC machine tool cannot be utilized, resulting in many configurations being idle, such as the worktable area and feed axis travel. This not only wastes resources but also increases maintenance due to the high utilization rate of general-purpose CNC machine tools. Utility Model Content

During operation, the supply motor 24 drives the ball screw 224 to rotate via the coupling 23, thereby causing the ball screw 224 to move back and forth in its balls, thereby driving the supply motor 24 to move with it, thereby causing the guide rails of the pair of linear guide rails 2 to slide in their slides, and thus driving the worktable 4 to move back and forth in the X direction.
