How to set program for torsion spring on camless spring forming machine
- First step we choose to use which axis to make the coils .Install coiling finger on No 1 aixs and cutter tools on No 5 axis . X1 is the first axis.It is not fixed that we must use X1 to make coils .Choose any axis is ok .Here we give one example .We set here X1 axis move 80 degrees.Use handwheel.Press shortcut Key Z to go to Quill axis and set quill axis starting point 31 degrees .You want to keep the quill axis at what position then you can set the moving degrees accordingly .
- Second step ,program second line for wire feeding .Y axis is for wire feeding .Use handwheel to control the length of wire feeding .Now set the front part length value 36.6 degrees .
- Third step ,we set program for third line based on spring shape ,we move X1 axis 160.5 degrees . We change Number one axis value on third line.After set line 3 values , we fix the position of starting point of making coils .Usually we put value 2 for wire feeding if we put 0 it will become 90 degrees right angle of torsion spring shape .That’s not we want .
- Adjust these two screws to control the outside diameter of springs to your required dimension.Here we set 165 degrees for line 5 .
- Then we set line 6 X1axis 165 degrees .We must ensure X1 axis the highest position 180 degrees and do wire feeding 184.8mm.It is not fixed value .You want more coils quantity then we feed more .It depends on your springs .Why we have to keep highest position because in this way we can guarantee outside diameter will be same afterwards .
- Now we finished the spring making . We have to make axis 1 go back to its home position .So for line 8 we set value same as line zero 80 degrees .If we do not set back , the number 1 axis tool will have strike and make machine breakdown .
- Then do some wire feeding again .Now for line 10 ,we go to aixs 5 for cutting the springs .Same here we have to make axis 5 go to home position after cutting , then we finished all program.In other case ,if you dont want No 1 and NO 5 axis to go back so slow ,we can change the first line value bigger .Then their speed to go back will be faster .
- After this , we can F7 test button to do test .
