How to find the center of the inner hole in wire cutting? [Zhikai CNC professional answer]

When cutting inner holes in wire, finding the center of the circle is a very important step. Here are some common methods to find the center of the circle.

1. Use measurement tools:

The easiest way to do this is to use a measuring tool, such as a caliper or vernier caliper, to measure the diameter of the hole. Then divide the measurement by 2 to get the radius of the hole. Next, place one side of the measuring tool on the edge of the hole and the other side on the opposite edge of the hole, and move the measuring tool until the measurements on both sides are equal. At this point, the center point of the measuring tool is the center of the hole.

2. Use the three-point positioning method:

This method requires at least three points to determine the center of the circle. First, select three different points on the edge of the inner hole and use the measuring tool to measure the distance between them. Then, place one side of the measuring tool on the first point and the other side on the second point, and move the measuring tool until the measurements on both sides are equal. The center point of the measuring tool is now the midpoint between the first and second points. Next, place one side of the measuring tool on the first point and the other side on the third point, and move the measuring tool until the measurements on both sides are equal. The center point of the measuring tool is now the midpoint between the first and third points. Finally, connect the two midpoints and their intersection is the center of the inner hole.

3. Use projection method:

This method requires a light source and a plane. First, place the light source on one side of the inner hole and the plane on the other side of the inner hole. Then, adjust the positions of the light source and the plane so that the light passes through the edge of the inner hole and is projected onto the plane. At this point, the center of the inner hole is the center point of the projection.

4. Use mathematical methods:

If the inner hole is a perfect circle, you can use mathematical methods to find the center of the circle. First, select three points on the inner hole and use the measuring tool to measure the distance between them. Then, use these distances to calculate the radius of the inner hole and the coordinates of the center of the circle. The specific calculation method can refer to the geometric properties of the circle and mathematical formulas.
In short, finding the center of the inner hole is a key step in the wire cutting process. The methods introduced above can be selected and used according to the specific situation to ensure that the accurate center of the circle is found.
