What is linear scale function in machine? Measure machining position and moving distance There are several types of linear scale. 1. distinguish from outer form : Open or Enclose Type 2. distinguish from scale value : Incremental or Absolute Type Which type is common use in machining center? Enclose Absolute Linear scale Enclose form will keep settle parts safe away from coolant fluid ,oil and chips. Absolute value will achieve direct machining position and distance.   Which common brand is common use in Maple-Tech? Maple adopts the brand : Fagor made in Spain and Heidenhain made in Germany. Where does linear scale in machining center? X-axis : set on the front side of worktable Y-axis : set on machine base Z-axis : set on machine stance   How does linear scale works? Use the optical principle to measure the beam reflection to determine the position to achieve high-precision positioning and measurement.

                              With F.R.L and Lubricator system, machine could always work with pneumatic and lubrications. Where are these two system in machine model? They are designed to put together in right side of machine, so that they could test and check  whether there is anything that needs to be adjusted. What are the three points in F.R.L system? (1) Filter (2) Regulator (3) Lubricator   How does F.R.L system works? Air entry into F-filter : It will filter the water, oil and dust in the air first and then enter the Regulator. During the R-Regulator : It will do voltage regulation and then into Lubricator. Through the L-Lubricator : It will bring oil into pneumatic tools to lubricate them.   Which F.R.L. system brand does Maple adopt? Maple adopts the brand - AIRTAC which is made in Taiwan. What is the function of lubricator system? Always add oil to everywhere inside machine body automatically. For example : linear guideway rails ,slide block , ball screws and so on …   Which lubricator system brand does Maple adopt? Maple adopts the brand - ISHAN and CHEN YING which is made in Taiwan.

Machine Measurement work How do measurement do during machine working? Tool measurement is used to determine whether to change the tool or not. When the tools is working, there will be wear and tear. Workpiece measurement is used to help the machine to accurately judge the angle and working distance between the workpiece and spindle. Use these two measurements Benefit : More automation More precise Reduce time Reduce costs Improve profits Could avoid Bad position : Tool broken during mechanical work interrupt knife, Increased downtime Cut out workpieces that do not meet the standards.   We use this brand for measurement: RENISHAW from UK Tool-measurement -> Spec: TS27R Workpiece-measurement -> Spec:OMP40-2  

Why work with #one table when you can have #two. With the M-One series APC by #Maple #Technology production fixture and parts loading and unloading time can be decreased by more the 50-75%. By reducing down time and increasing down time and increasing actual production time more profit and lower cost can be achieved with the M-One APC.

Here are some common capabilities and applications of bridge-type machining centers: Milling Operations:3-Axis Milling: Bridge-type machining centers can perform 3-axis milling operations, where the cutting tool moves along the X, Y, and Z axes to shape and contour workpieces.4-Axis and 5-Axis Milling: Some advanced models may offer additional rotary axes, allowing for more complex machining tasks, such as 4-axis or 5-axis milling. This enables the machine to produce intricate geometries and contours. Large Workpieces:Bridge mills are often designed to handle large and heavy workpieces. The bridge structure provides stability and rigidity, making it suitable for machining large components used in industries like aerospace and automotive. High Precision:The bridge structure enhances the machine's rigidity, contributing to higher precision and accuracy in machining.
