General purpose machine or special purpose machine? This is what you need to know when choosing a machine tool

In the purchase of machine tools, to be processed workpiece special machine and general machine can do,Guide mall summed up the following machine tool purchase strategies for you



Above all, make clear what distinction special machine tool and general machine tool have. Special machine tool, as the name implies, is a kind of machine tool specially suitable for certain specific parts or specific processes. General purpose machine tools are those that refer to a wide range of processing, can be used to process a variety of different processes of the machine tool. It is not difficult to see from their definition, special machine tool processing professional degree is higher, the efficiency is better; The universal machine tool processing range is wider, better versatility.
 
Understand these, you can choose special machine processing or general machine processing according to their respective characteristics. Guide mall summarized the following selection principles for everyone.



 

Price principle Mass production with special aircraft, small batch production with general machine tools. Special machine tool has efficiency and processing advantages, but because it is designed for a specific part or a specific process processing, so the processing cost is higher than the general machine tool. Only when it is used in mass production will its cost per unit come down. So for the purpose of cost control, when both kinds of machine tools can be processed, you can choose a better price solution according to the amount of processing.
 
 
Special machine tool because it is designed for a specific part or a specific process processing machine, so in general, compared with the general machine tool, the processing effect of specific workpiece will be better. The processing effect requirements are higher, but do not want to spend too much money to purchase high-end general machine tools of the enterprise can choose special aircraft. General processing can choose general machine tools.



Efficiency principle of the same parts, special machine tool because of its targeted design in processing is often more efficient than the general machine tool. For example, the engine block needs bolt holes. If a multi-bit drill is used, multiple bits on the equipment can work at the same time and the drilling can be completed in a very short time. It is difficult to achieve this effect with general machine tools. Therefore, enterprises with high processing efficiency can consider the use of special machine tools.
 
Market principle Parts with long-term stable market demand can be produced by special aircraft; For those products with short and rapidly changing market demand, consider using universal machine tools to avoid the expense of frequent equipment replacement.




With the popularization of automation technology, many enterprises began to use automated production lines for production and processing. So in the choice of machine tools, in addition to considering the processing effect, efficiency, cost and other factors, but also to consider whether the machine can be integrated into the whole production and manufacturing system, as well as the efficiency of the whole production line. Generally speaking, special machine tools have more advantages in the production line processing mode, but now some general machine tools with industrial robots are also widely used in automated production lines, enterprises can choose flexibly according to the actual situation.

Here, again, the premise of the above selection principle is that both types of machine tools can be processed. If it is some special shape, or the process has special requirements of spare parts, you need to choose a more targeted special machine tool. Xiaobian noted that many machine tool manufacturers now provide customized services, some machine tool enterprises can also assist customers to provide professional solutions, so before purchasing, you can also consult the manufacturer directly.

As a whole, special machine tools and universal machine tools have their own advantages. Strictly speaking, in the processing of two types of machine tools only suitable for, there is no superior points. In the selection of enterprises, they can comprehensively consider the several principles listed above in Admin and choose the best solution.
