Description
MCT Machining Center Tool processing system The present invention relates to a machining center tool (MCT) processing system, and more specifically, to a machining center tool processing system capable of stable X, Y, and Z axis processing, as well as A and C axis processing, even under vibration and shock occurring during processing. Generally, the term "machine tool" refers collectively to machines used for manufacturing, typically meaning metalworking machines. In other words, a machine tool is a machine that processes metal materials into the required shape by using cutting tools to perform operations such as cutting, machining, hole making, drilling, thread cutting, and grinding. Meanwhile, representative machine tools include the lathe and the machining center (MCT). Machine tools as described above can be classified according to the number of machining axes, and currently, 3-axis and 5-axis machine tools are the most widely used. A 3-axis machine tool enables 3-axis machining based on 3 machining axes, and a 5-axis machine tool enables 5-axis machining based on 5 machining axes. A machining center is a machine that processes workpieces using a main spindle that generally moves in three axes. Additionally, for 5-axis machining, a machining center is equipped with a table that rotates the workpiece around a rotation axis and a tilting axis perpendicular to the rotation axis; with the main spindle moving in three axes and the workpiece moving in two axes, machining can be performed in a total of five axes. A machining center capable of performing 5-axis machining in this way is generally also called a 5-axis machine. Typically, while 5-axis machine tools have the advantage of being able to machine various curved surfaces, they require a separate controller, resulting in a very high unit cost and making it difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises or small workshops to utilize them. In particular, although 3-axis machine tools offer better cost-effectiveness than 5-axis machine tools for 3-axis machining operations, there is no choice but to purchase a 5-axis machine tool if 5-axis machining operations must be performed even once, which results in a disadvantage of overall lower cost-effectiveness and work efficiency. In addition, there is a problem in that vibration and shock occur during the 5-axis machining process, making it difficult to perform stable machining processes such as cutting and cutting.
