The different of multi head cnc machine and ATC cnc router machine?

In the panel furniture industry, which one is more practical, the multi-process cnc cutting and engraving machine and the atc cnc router machine with auto tool changer, and what are the differences between them?

 

 

一、The principle of tool change is different

 

Multi-process cnc router machine：The multi-process woodworking engraving machine has multiple spindles, and different types of tools are installed on the multiple spindles. When the tool needs to be changed, the current spindle goes up, and the required spindle goes down to continue processing.

 

Linear atc cnc router：Just one spindle，but it has a magazine，Different models have different tool magazine capacities, including 8, 12 and 14 tools, etc. According to the shape of the tool magazine and the tool changing method, there are disc tool change cnc router machine, Linear type cnc router machine etc. When changing the tool, the machine head moves to the tool magazine , select the required tool, come back to continue processing.

 

二、Difference in processing accuracy

 

Multi-process cnc router machine：The distance between each spindle needs to set the offset, but the offset error between the spindles is basically ±0.5mm, corresponding to the processing of the plate, the error will become larger, and the processing accuracy will be lower.

 

Automatic tool change cnc router machine：Except for the wear of the tool, there is basically no error. The error corresponding to the plate processing is basically ±0.03mm, and the processing accuracy is high.

 

三、Different processing functions

 

Multi-process cnc router machine：There are at most four spindles, but the four processes only support automatic switching of four tools. It is suitable for solid wood doors, cabinet doors, sliding doors, paint-free doors, painted doors, soft-packed doors, etc. processing. Therefore, the processing is some relatively simple patterns, and the price is relatively low.

Cnc router machine with atc：It has an linear tool magazine with 14 tools, which can realize the automatic switching of 14 tools. It can make patterns with complex designs, diverse shapes and high precision, which require many knives to complete, and the price is higher than that of multiple processes.

 

四、Application in custom furniture

 

Multi process cnc router machine: If it is only a single processing cabinet, only simple door type and cabinet process work such as slotting, cutting, punching, etc., the processing speed of multi-process is faster than the processing speed of automatic tool change.

Auto tool changer woodworking cnc router: Generally, there are 14 tools as standard, and the tool magazine has a large capacity. The biggest advantage is the door panel pattern engraving. In particular, the cabinet doors have many patterns, which are larger than four knives. To do more door panels and a small amount of cabinet carving, you must choose a Linear type automatic changer center.

 

Therefore, customers need to choose the appropriate model according to their own processing needs.
