Stable Running CG5000 Double Drive CNC Strip Flame Plate Cutting Machine

Working Site and Delivery of CNC-CG5000 CNC Strip Flame Cutting Machine:

1) From working site of this set of Wuxi JACK double drive CNC-CG5000 CNC Strip Flame Cutting Machine, you can observe on the finished cut workpieces left on its cutting platform:

2) This machine had just finished cutting several pieces of steel plate under shape cutting, by means of its CNC cutting torch;

3) And several pieces of long narrow steel plates, which were cut with its strip cutting torches on the rear side of the machine moving gantry;

We will have an explore on this model of the CNC Cutting Machine in this product section.  

1. Gantry Size of CNC-CG Series CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine and its Distribution:

The CNC-CG5000 double drive CNC Strip Flame Cutting Machine is the medium larger size product of family;

Mechanical frame of Wuxi JACK CNC-CG5000 CNC Flame Cutting Machine ready for delivery: (Fig.1)

1)   Cutting Width Range:   As mentioned in its product family introduction section, CNC-CG series machine has gantry width (This means width of horizontal main beam, or cutting rail span) from 3,000mm to 15,000 mm;

2)   Majority Valid Cutting Width:   Based on PARETO theory of statistics, most majority falls within the range of 3000 mm/ 4000mm/ 5000mm, which meets the rule of 80/ 20. The CNC Plate Cutting Machine of these sizes can be viewed as “standard” specifications of the machine;

3)  Importance:  The CNC-CG5000 model is the typical product of double drive configuration.

2. Why Double Drive in CNC Plate Cutting Machine, and How to Put into Use:

1) Single Drive Versus Double Drive in CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine:

a) Under majority conditions, the 5000mm gantry size is the threshold for distinguishing single drive and double drive in sheet metal CNC control cutting technology; 

b) Servo motor and reducer to be applied in Wuxi JACK CNC Plate Cutting Machine: (Fig.2)

2) Meaning and Significance in Double Drive for CNC Cutting Machine and its Implementation:

a) Double drive means both sides of the machine gantry have servo driving motors and reducers at its bottom, which drive the travelling wheels sitting on the parallel cutting rails;

b) Implementation of Double Drive:  In the cutting process of the double drive model machine, driven with both sides A.C. servo motor reducers working in phase, traveling wheels of the machine gantry roll forward, leading machine gantry into traveling;

c) Usage and Benefit:   In this way, the CNC Flame Cutting Machine can get the best degree of running stability. This is especially critical for large size (Gantry span equals to 5,000mm or longer) models equipment;

2) Single Drive in CNC Cutting Machine:

a) What is Single Drive:   In contrast, in single drive mode of the CNC Plate Cutting Machine, only one side of the mechanical motor drive moving gantry is installed with servo motor reducer. The opposing side is idle type, which is turned into follower running with the movement of driving side;

b) Suitable Application of Single Drive:  For the machine model with gantry width of 4,000mm and less, the rigidity of gantry beam can guarantee on its stable traveling and hence cutting precision outcome

3) Dividing Line on Single Drive and Double Drive in CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

a)  When Need Double Drive?   In the field of CNC control sheet metal plate cutting, when gantry width exceeds 5,000 mm, which equals to max. effective cutting width of 4,000mm, the rigidity of bigger mechanical gantry beam can not make satisfactory in phase movement of both sides, which brings along issues such as shaking, rendering negative impact on cutting outcome of the CNC Flame Cutting Machine. By this time, Double Drive should be introduced;

b) Stricter Demand on Cutting Outcome:   On the other hand, in recent years, with the growing higher standard on cutting quality in industry, more and more 4,000mm width (Model: CNC-CG4000) model machine also adopted with double drive, this makes double drive becoming mainstream of the machine application nowadays;

4) Control System of Plasma Flame CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

5) Significance of Double Drive in CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

a) With double drive of the machine, both sides of the mechanical motorized gantry are powered with servo motor reducer;

b) Control system of the machine generates and sends out signal from CNC system, making the two sets of servo motor reducers work synchronously, thus attaining the target of coordinated running of machine gantry both sides;

c) In a word, only with servo motor can double drive be put into practice in CNC Plate Cutting Machine.

3. Application of Double Drive CNC-CG5000 Model CNC Strip Flame Cutting Machine:

1) Customer use this model of the CNCG-CG5000 model CNC Cutting Machine for fulfilling plate shape cutting on carbon steel plate with size wider than 4200 mm;

2) Quantity of Cutting Torch in CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

a) With increasement of mechanical horizontal gantry width, more CNC cutting torch can be installed into the machine:

b) Two to three sets of CNC control cutting torches are applicable for being equipped in 5,000mm specification (Model: CNC-CG5000) machine;

c) In this way, productivity of CNC control sheet metal plate cutting can be improved accordingly;

3)  Related Equipment:    Equipped with triple cutting torch and strip cutting torch, incorporating functions of Triple Flame Plate Cutting Machine (The counter part of Edge Milling Machine) and Strip Flame Plate Cutting Machine.
