Description

Composite processing equipment

The invention relates to a composite processing device, in particular to a composite processing device which can automatically replace and use different processing attribute processing modules according to the processing process requirements.

The precision machining requirements are becoming more stringent in the field of micromachining, but some subtle components are not suitable for MEMS processes (such as LIGA processes), so the demand for precision machining machines is increasing.

Common precision machining machines (such as numerical processing machines) are single processing attributes, which are limited to changing tools of different cutting types and can only be machined for other processing processes such as electric discharge machining, ultrasonic machining or laser machining. If the process is not available, it cannot be performed simultaneously on the numerical processing machine. Therefore, when a subtle component has to undergo electrical discharge machining, ultrasonic machining or laser machining after cutting, the micro component must be removed from the numerical processing machine and re-clamped. It is fixed on the machine of other processing machines for the next process. However, whenever the subtle component is to be subjected to the next process, it must be re-clamped and corrected, which not only wastes time and complicates the process, but also uses the different processing machines for various processing processes. It will cause the tolerance of each process to accumulate, which affects the machining accuracy of the subtle components.
