Chapter 11 Designing Fixtures for the First Time
After quickly adjusting the second machine, Gu Fei began to ponder the small order that Zhang Li took over to let him turn positive.
As for the salary issue that Zhang Li was most concerned about, Gu Fei directly snorted, he was too lazy to squeak with Wu Gong, and then left it behind.
In the words of No. 1, when your technology is strong enough to promote scientific progress, national development, and human civilization, salary is a meaningless number.
Gu Fei actually wanted to say that this number was still very meaningful to him. It's just that he has always worked seriously and diligently, and he forgets the time when he gets busy.
Gu Fei picked up the drawings and looked at them, and the corners of his mouth suddenly became bitter.
The G850A, codenamed the G850A, was much larger than the first one he had concocted, almost the size of a 5.5-inch phone. It also looks like a mobile phone with the back cover, and it is full of various uneven and large bosses and fine holes, and at a glance you can tell that it is the base or bracket of a certain product.
"It's too complicated. Gu Fei took a cursory look at it and knew that this was a complicated thing, and his head suddenly swelled a little.
Zhang Li's intentions were good, but she seemed to have done bad things with good intentions. The size of the order quantity does not mean that the work is easy or heavy. She wanted Gu Fei to turn positive as soon as possible, but it seemed to help her.
No. 1 spoke up: "You find out the incoming materials first, it should just be for you to process somewhere, and it is impossible for you to manufacture it as a whole." Because this is clearly a job that can only be done by a CNC milling machine or machining center, your CNC lathe can't do it at all. ”
Gu Fei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the difference between CNC lathes and CNC milling machines.
CNC lathes have only two axes, usually the spindle clamps the workpiece and rotates, and the tool moves back and forth for cutting. There are not many things that it can process, most of them are rotary bodies with a central axis such as chimneys and screws.
The CNC milling or machining center has at least three axes, and it can process most products. It can be said that what CNC lathe can do, CNC milling must be done, but not vice versa.
Gu Fei quickly found the incoming materials, and compared the drawings for a long time, only to know that his work was quite simple, just reducing the height of a certain round table by 1mm and reducing the size by 2mm.
"Scared me, it turned out to be really like what you said, only such a small thing was changed. ”
Gu Fei, who breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his face heavily. He shook the drawings depressedly and said suspiciously: "This is really inexplicable. Why don't you have to move anywhere else, just change the size of this little bit? ”
No. 1 ignored Gu Fei's complaints, and said with a blank look: "This situation is actually quite common. If it's not a design error, it's probably a new product being modulated.
During the test, it is suddenly found that a certain size is unreasonable or unsuitable, so you can only change it, little by little. New products are designed this way. ”
"Look at the company name below. No. 1 reminded lightly, "It should be your company's product." After all, it is not appropriate to give such a thing to others for processing, so it is simply sent to the CNC department. ”
Gu Fei hurriedly looked down at the name of the company, and suddenly became stunned.
Fenghuo Laser Technology Co., Ltd. is really the name of their company.
"Then what should I do?" Gu Fei hurriedly went into the toilet and entered the laboratory.
The amount of work in front of me is really small, and if you want to program, it's almost a two-knife thing. But Gu Fei saw the difficulty at a glance.
The number of cars can only process the rotary body, and the center line of the rotary body must also coincide with the center of the spindle of the lathe, otherwise it cannot be processed.
The round table in front of you is indeed a rotary body. But it is "long" on the entire plate-like part and cannot be removed individually. What's more, this round table is located in a corner, not in the center of the part, and cannot be processed directly on the lathe.
"If this kind of work is milled with a few numbers, it is very simple, and it can be started directly after fixing it. But you didn't, so you had to design a special fixture. Number One said lightly.
"Design fixtures?"
Although the air in the laboratory was fresh and the temperature was suitable, listening to No. 1 talk about this, Gu Fei still felt that his mouth was dry and his eyes were straight.
"Normal. No. 1 explained coldly: "After all, there are only a few products in the world that can be directly processed by machines, and the vast majority of products must be manufactured by designing corresponding tools by themselves." It's not a big deal if it's simple enough to design a fixture, or if it's complicated, you have to design a machine. ”
It said: "The fixture in front of you is not difficult, you can think about it yourself according to the characteristics of the number of cars, don't bother me for the time being." ”
After saying that, there was an extra table and an ordinary computer in the laboratory, and the number one was silent.
Designing fixtures and designing machines, it's not a big deal......
No. 1 said it easily, and Gu Fei burst into tears when he heard it. However, he knew that No. 1 had done what he said, so he could only sit in front of the computer speechlessly and pull up the CAD files on the desktop.
CAD stands for computer-aided design, but it's the name of a software for the vast majority of the time. This is a common application design software that is involved in almost all manufacturing industries. For example, machinery, engineering, and construction...... You can see it.
Because it will involve everything, it can be not very proficient in everything, so in the eyes of professionals, it is a chicken rib software, and it is hardly used in ordinary times.
However, Gu Fei only knew this software at this time, so No. 1 only installed this software on his computer.
Gu Fei sat at a loss for a while, then suddenly walked to the door marked "Process", pushed the door and said, "I want some books related to lathe fixture design." ”
The door opened. Gu Fei was overjoyed, he looked at it, but he didn't see anything in the black hole, he only saw a thick stack of books in front of him.
Looking at this stack of books that were almost as tall as his whole person, Gu Fei's tongue was dry.
This has to be seen when to go?
Complaining is complaining, it is better to have a book to refer to than to have no clue, Gu Fei had to take the book casually and return to the table to look through it.
Before he could read a few lines, Gu Fei suddenly remembered No. 1's words, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head. He hurriedly put the book down.
Since the number of cars can only process things that coincide with the axis of the spindle of the machine tool, move the center line of the CAD file of this part to the round table to be processed, and then set a frame according to the four sides of the part to fix it, and then ......
Gu Fei quickly cleared his mind, and hurriedly drew a picture on the computer, and more than an hour later, an eccentric wheel-shaped fixture appeared on the computer.
It's not that hard to design.
At this time, Gu Fei was in a happy mood. He looked left and right and felt that it was almost there, and hurriedly summoned One.
"No. 1, No. 1, how did I get this fixture?" Gu Fei asked happily.
Number One answered: "Congratulations! You're right, but the design is crude. However, considering that you are designing your own fixture for the first time, you can barely give it a score of 60. ”
Gu Fei didn't care, he laughed and asked directly, "What are the shortcomings?"
"It's all problems that newbies don't notice, like when you design the inner frame of the fixture to be the same size as the outside of the product. This could theoretically be manufactured. But you can't put the product in or out after it's made, so you have to enlarge the bezel appropriately. Another example ......"
No. 1 entered the state of teaching again, counting the defects and deficiencies in the design of Gu Fei's fixtures, and he was stunned again and again, and hurriedly made notes.
The last one concluded: "That's pretty much it. You change it again, type out the drawings after you go out, and let the ordinary milling machine get the fixture for you. This product is in hand. ”
Gu Fei perked up and hurriedly buried himself in his work.
