16K20F3 LATHE CNC MACHINE UPGRADE TO MILLING CNC MACHINE

The article discusses the practical experience of modernizing the 16K20F3 tool machine for tool processing. It describes a deep modernization with a complete replacement of all drives, electrical and control systems. The goal is to consider the use of modernization of outdated metal-cutting equipment for modern technological tasks as one of the economically feasible options, alternative to the purchase of new expensive equipment. The use of aggregation allows in the process of modernization to create technological equipment for a specific group of products with the implementation of an optimal technological process. Simultaneous equipping of the machine with a modern control system, as well as assemblies and equipment for CAM technologies and HSM-technologies, allows you to get a qualitatively new equipment.
