CNC engraving and milling machine is one of the most universal and flexible production tools in industries such as signage, industrial woodworking, furniture manufacturing, panel processing, and plastic and metal manufacturing.

The CNC woodworking router is a very mature equipment in China, with a mature and complete production system for this type of equipment. There are many factories in China that produce this type of woodworking equipment, with reasonable prices and guaranteed quality

M-shineCNC from China provides some useful guidelines to help CNC router owners understand all these influencing factors, including available technologies, decisions to be made before purchasing a CNC router, necessary operator training, and the different tools and settings available.

1) Ensure that the machine is set up correctly

This starts with using the correct feed rate, planer spindle speed, and cutting depth specific to the material being processed, all of which can be obtained from the machine supplier.

The origin setting of the CNC woodworking router is very important, and if the original setting is correct, there will be no major problems during the machining process.

2) Choose the correct wiring/cutting tool

This will directly affect the type of material being processed. For example, operators should consider whether spindle power is more effective in processing materials, and if so, at what size, or whether a router spindle swing knife or tangential knife is a better choice for more ductile materials.

When dealing with new and potentially unfamiliar materials, it is recommended to conduct preliminary tests involving different spindles or blades to determine which one is most suitable for a given application.

3) Use the correct material compression system

This is usually based on vacuum, which can better ensure that the material is firmly fixed in the appropriate position. The most important choice for a vacuum table is the vacuum pump. A vacuum pump is useful for making the machine more stable during processing. In addition, insufficient vacuum strength caused by leaks in the system may result in material movement that is almost imperceptible until the work is completed, and is either considered a satisfactory route/cut or rejected due to incomplete completion.

Always ensure that the material surface is smooth and free of dust, and check for leaks in the vacuum tube or gasket. For example, if the warped board is more difficult to firmly press on the vacuum deck, should we consider using pressure rollers and adsorption.

4) Provide appropriate training for machine operators

Experienced and well-trained machine operators will be able to minimize potential issues in the workshop. They will be able to identify the root cause of any problem, from programmed data to the type of tool used and the required wire/cutting speed and feed rate.

The design of today's CNC routers is essentially user-friendly and easier to solve than ever before. However, like any other form of machinery, the more experienced the machine operator, the easier it is to identify and correct any problems. Most leading suppliers can provide training tailored to specific applications.

in short

Due to its wide range of functions, CNC routers can use various wiring/cutting tools to wire/cut almost any material cleanly and efficiently. This means that all the work carried out can be completed internally without outsourcing, and there is no need for variables in product quality and delays, which could erode profit margins.

It is very important to fully understand the functions of CNC routers and how to manage them correctly. Learning to use a router does not take a long time - usually two to three days - although application specific knowledge takes longer to acquire and requires a continuous learning curve.
