What Is The Difference Between Stone CNC Router Machine And CNC Stone Milling Machine?

Stone cnc router machine a high-tech automatic computer controlled engraving equipment capable of carving and calligraphy on natural stone, glass and ceramics.

Stone CNC Router Machine The main functions of cnc stone router machine are stone latter carving, 3D stone carving, stone positive carving, stone shadow carving, stone line carving, stone cutting, stone hollowing, etc.Stone CNC Router Machine for Natural Stone Cutting Carving Model:  This stone cnc router is widely used for carving on natural stone, marble, granite, bluestone, gritstone, soapstone and etc. Also can work on any kinds of wood, plastic, acrylic and non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass and etc.

Stone Mini CNC machine is a machine tool with computer number controlled for stone machining. A stone Mini CNC machine is also known as Mini CNC stone carving machine, Mini CNC stone engraving machine, Mini CNC stone cutting machine, stone Mini CNC router or Mini CNC stone router. Stone Mini CNC machines have functions of carving, engraving, cutting and polishing for marble, granite, artificial stone, tombstone, ceramic tiles.

First of all, we should make clear the differences between models:

1. CNC milling machines and machining centers are used to complete the processing of products with large milling volume.
2. Engraving machine is used for small milling volume or light metal processing.

From the perspective of the CNC system used by the machine tool:
1. The requirements of CNC milling machine and machining center for CNC system: stability and reliability, operation and convenient maintenance. At present, the CNC system in the market is mainly concentrated in FANUC, mitisubish and Siemens controller, and some European equipment adopt Hyde Hein controller.
2. Most engraving machines use industrial controllers independently developed or purchased by enterprises.

In terms of the power of each axis and spindle speed of the machine tool:
1. The power of each axis of CNC milling machine and machining center is relatively large, and the power of spindle is also relatively large. The taper shanks of spindle are about 30, 40 and 50. Some machine tools also adopt HSK taper shanks or smaller 20 taper shanks. It can meet the general milling, drilling and tapping processes. The spindle speed is generally 8000rpm, and there are motorized spindles, which can reach 20000-60000rpm, but the corresponding price is also relatively high.

2. Most engraving machines use low-power motors, the spindle speed is relatively fast, about 30000 rpm, and the largest tool can only be about 10mm in diameter.
To sum up: most stone engraving machines are used in the engraving industry, and some mold industries also use such machines to facilitate engraving and lettering on materials, as well as milling with small cutting amount.

As CNC router stone engraving machine is more and more widely used, people have higher and higher requirements for its performance and operating speed. So how should we make reasonable use of stone engraving machine to work for us?

First of all, we need to conduct perfect theoretical and practical training before using Stone cnc router machine, and we can conduct practical training only after passing the theoretical examination. In this way, the phenomenon of operating errors will be reduced as much as possible during the stone carving process. In actual operation training, training on engraving tools is also required.

Stone CNC Router Machine Secondly, we need to train engineers on all kinds of stone knowledge, including the application range, thickness, hardness, carving size, etc. of the stone. Familiar with the carving methods of different stones.

Finally, there is software operation training. The software used by different Stone cnc router machine will be different. After passing the theoretical and practical operation training, software training should be carried out, including typesetting, operation, path generation, etc., to avoid wrong operations.
