A lathe is mainly a machine tool that uses turning tools to turn rotating workpieces.
A regular lathe is a horizontal lathe that can perform various processes on various types of workpieces such as shafts, discs, and rings. It is commonly used to process the internal and external rotating surfaces, end faces, and various internal and external threads of workpieces, using corresponding tools and accessories. It can also be used for drilling, expanding, tapping, and knurling.
In simple terms, a CNC lathe is a machine tool controlled by numbers. It is an automated machine tool with program automation control. The entire system can logically process the programs specified by control codes or other symbolic instructions, then automatically translate them, and then comprehensively compile them, so that the actions of the entire machine tool can be processed according to the original program.
What is the difference between a regular lathe and a CNC lathe
1. The CNC lathe is equipped with a CNC system, but ordinary machine tools do not
2. CNC lathes have high machining accuracy and stable machining quality
3. CNC lathes can perform multi coordinate linkage and can process parts with complex shapes
4. Numerical control lathes have an advantage in mass production efficiency, which is more than four times that of ordinary lathes
5. CNC lathes have a high degree of automation, which can reduce labor intensity
6. CNC lathes have high performance and low noise
When changing the parts processed by a CNC lathe, it is generally only necessary to change the CNC program to improve work efficiency
8. The CNC lathe itself has high accuracy and rigidity, and can choose favorable processing quantities, resulting in high productivity
9. Currently, CNC lathes have higher production costs for single piece machining than regular lathes
