What are the functions of installing a positioning cylinder on a wooden CNC router?

With the rise of the panel furniture customization industry, CNC cutting machines have become necessary equipment for many furniture customization practitioners. Although the role of the positioning cylinder is not as obvious as that of the spindle, drive motor, control system and vacuum adsorption platform, it is still very important for the cutting and unloading of panel furniture.

Wood CNC Router with Positioning Cylinder

Generally, each cutting machine has 5 or 6 pneumatic positioning cylinders, which are located in the Y-axis and X-axis directions of the cutter body, 3 or 4 in the Y-axis direction, and 2 in the X-axis direction. These pneumatics form the right angles of an L-shape.

Why do you need to install a positioning cylinder in the CNC router, and ensure that the two directions need to be a standard right angle?

The function of the positioning cylinder can be summarized as: positioning the plate to be processed, reducing the time for manual positioning of the plate, and improving feeding efficiency.

Before the drilling machine starts working, it is necessary to locate the workpiece origin of the plate to be processed. After installing the positioning cylinder, we can ensure that each plate is placed at the same position, and there is no need to repeatedly define the origin of the workpiece, which is easy to operate and saves time.

When processing plates, the three-in-one holes of some plates need to be punched on both sides of the plate. Through the cooperation of the cutting software and the positioning cylinder, the positioning accuracy of the flap during processing is guaranteed.

The key point of CNC cutting machine is safety performance. The positioning of the cylinders is also controlled by the integrated program of the control system. It has an out-of-bounds guard. When the cylinder positioning shaft is stretched out, the machine will stop working automatically to prevent the cutting machine from being damaged by the cutting cylinder of the spindle cutting machine or the cylinder shaft, which can limit unnecessary losses.

The above is the introduction of the function of the positioning cylinder. If you want to buy machines, welcome to contact Superstar CNC.
