Research on the Application of PLC Control in Machine Tool Automation Transformation

This study focuses on the application of Programmable logic control (PLC) in the automation transformation of machine tools, aiming at discussing the key role of PLC technology in improving the performance of machine tools, improving production efficiency and strengthening manufacturing flexibility. Through in-depth analysis of the case of machine tool automation transformation, this civilization has studied the practical application effect of PLC in automatic tool switching, motion control and production process optimization in detail, ft is found that the introduction of PLC system can significantly improve the speed and accuracy of tool switching and reduce the downtime in the production process. At the same time, the motion control function of PLC system ensures the accuracy and stability of machine tool motion, and strongly supports the realization of high-precision machining, In addition, through real-time monitoring and feedback control, the adjustment of production process parameters by PLC system makes the production process more intelligent and adaptable. Finally, the paper discusses the limitations and future development direction of PLC in machine tool automation transformation, and puts forward the possibility of further integrating PLC with other intelligent technologies. Generally speaking, this study provides profound insights for decision makers in manufacturing industry, and provides strong theoretical support for promoting the machine tool manufacturing industry towards a more intelligent and efficient future.
