What are the functions of sensors in CNC lathe?

Sensor is a device that can feel the specified measurement and convert it into available output signal according to the law. It is also an important part of NC lathe. Without it, the lathe cannot recognize the signal and automatically induce failure. The input signal is often a non electric quantity, while the output signal is an easily processed electric quantity, such as voltage.

There are many kinds of industrial sensors. The main ones used in NC lathe are linear grating, voltage sensor, speed sensor, Hall sensor and so on. They are usually used to detect position, speed, pressure and temperature. High speed and high precision are the long-term development goals of lathes. With the rapid development of science and technology, the renewal speed of electromechanical products is accelerated, and the requirements for the accuracy and surface quality of parts processing are higher and higher.

Requirements for sensors of CNC lathe:

1. Meet the requirements of speed and accuracy 2. Lower cost 3. Strong anti-interference and high reliability.

Different types of CNC lathes have different requirements for sensors. Generally speaking, large lathes require speed response, while high-precision and medium-sized CNC lathes mainly require precision. Sensor technology is the embodiment of machine tool quality.

The above is about the importance of sensors in CNC lathes. I hope it will be helpful for your daily use.
