Increasing CNC machine tool productivity by using tool-part touch control
In this paper a new system for increasing CNC machining productivity is described. The system is based on registering the moment when the cutting tool touches the workpiece during a machining operation. The cutting tool approaches the workpiece with rapid traverse and switches to work feed when it comes in contact with it. In this way, the time for cutting air can significantly be reduced.
