The machine body of a stone engraving machine is the core mechanical structure that supports all the moving and stationary components. It typically includes key parts such as the main motion components, the feed system (like the worktable and tool holder), and supporting elements like the bed and column. These components work together to ensure precise and stable operation during engraving processes.
In addition to the basic mechanical structure, CNC stone engraving machines are equipped with various auxiliary systems, including cooling and lubrication units, indexing devices, tool setting mechanisms, and measurement tools. Compared to traditional machine tools, CNC machines have undergone significant design improvements in layout, aesthetics, transmission systems, tooling, and control mechanisms. These changes are aimed at enhancing performance, accuracy, and efficiency, while fully leveraging the capabilities of CNC technology.
To summarize, the main differences and improvements include:
(1) High-performance main drive and spindle components are used in stone engraving machines. These offer high power transmission, excellent rigidity, strong vibration resistance, and minimal thermal deformation, ensuring reliable and precise operation.
(2) The feed drive system employs high-efficiency transmission components. This design reduces the transmission chain length, simplifies the structure, and improves precision. Commonly used parts include ball screw pairs and linear rolling guides, which contribute to smooth and accurate movement.
(3) Modern stone engraving machines are equipped with a comprehensive automatic tool exchange and management system. This allows for quick and efficient tool changes without manual intervention, increasing productivity and reducing downtime.
(4) Many machining centers come with automatic workpiece handling and clamping mechanisms. These features enable seamless part loading, securing, and unloading, making the process more automated and user-friendly.
(5) Stone engraving machines are designed with high dynamic and static stiffness. This ensures stability during high-speed operations and minimizes deflection or vibration, resulting in better surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
(6) A fully enclosed cover is commonly used on modern stone engraving machines to enhance safety during automated operations. The door mechanism allows secure access while keeping the working area protected. For semi-closed and fully closed-loop systems, feedback devices such as inductive synchronizers, gratings, encoders, magnetic scales, and laser distance sensors are integrated. These components monitor the actual position, speed, direction, and condition of the machine, sending real-time data back to the CNC control system for precise adjustments.
