What is a CNC lathe?

CNC lathe is one of the widely used CNC machine. It is mainly used for cutting internal and external cylindrical surfaces, internal and external conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex revolving internal and external curved surfaces, cylinders and conical threads of shaft parts or disc parts, and can be used for grooving, drilling, reaming, boring and so on.

CNC machine automatically process the machined parts according to the pre-programmed processing program. We write the machining process route, process parameters, tool trajectory, displacement, cutting parameters and auxiliary functions of the parts into a machining program sheet according to the instruction code and program format specified by the CNC machine, and then record the contents of this program sheet on the control medium, and then input it into the NC device of the NC machine tool, thus directing the machine tool to process parts.

Features:

CNC machine is the abbreviation of numerical control machine, which is an automatic machine with program control system.The control system can logically process the program with control code or other symbolic instructions and decode it, so as to make the machine tool move and process parts.

Compared with ordinary machine, CNC machine have the following characteristics:

● High machining precision and stable machining quality;

● Multi-coordinate linkage can be carried out, and parts with complex shapes can be processed;

● When machining parts change, generally only need to change the numerical control program, which can save production preparation time;

When machining parts change, generally only need to change the numerical control program, which can save production preparation time;

● The machine tool itself has high precision and rigidity, and can choose favorable processing dosage, with high productivity (generally 3~5 times that of ordinary machine tools).

● The machine has a high degree of automation, which can reduce labor intensity;

● The quality requirements for operators are higher, and the technical requirements for maintenance personnel are higher.
