With the rapid development of science and technology, the manufacturing industry is undergoing profound changes. CNC lathes, with their excellent performance, have brought unprecedented precision and efficiency to the manufacturing industry.
Definition of CNC lathe
CNC lathe, full name digital control lathe, is a machine tool that uses digital information to control the movement and processing of the lathe. It uses a computer control system to convert the instructions in the processing program into the movement of each coordinate axis of the lathe, thereby accurately controlling the relative position and movement trajectory between the tool and the workpiece, and realizing the turning of the workpiece.
Advantages and characteristics of CNC lathes
High-precision processing
CNC lathes are equipped with high-precision transmission components and position detection devices, which can control the processing accuracy within a very small tolerance range and meet the industry with extremely high requirements for component precision.
High-efficiency production
It has a high degree of automation and can complete continuous processing of multiple processes in one clamping, reducing the clamping and adjustment time of workpieces and greatly improving production efficiency.
High flexibility
It only needs to modify the processing program to easily adapt to the processing needs of workpieces of different shapes and sizes, without the need to re-manufacture complex tooling and fixtures, which provides great convenience for multi-variety and small batch production and effectively reduces production costs.
Stable processing quality
The processing process is precisely controlled by the program, which reduces the impact of human factors on processing quality, ensures the consistency and stability of product quality, and improves the product qualification rate.
Types of CNC lathes
Horizontal CNC lathes
This is the most common type, with the spindle placed horizontally.
Vertical CNC lathes
The spindle is arranged vertically, suitable for processing disc parts with large diameter and short length, such as large flanges, end caps, etc. Its worktable has a strong load-bearing capacity and can ensure the stability of the processing process.
Special CNC lathes
Designed and manufactured for specific industries or special parts processing needs, such as camshaft CNC lathes, crankshaft CNC lathes, etc., with strong pertinence and professionalism.
Application fields of CNC lathes
Aerospace
Used to manufacture high-precision and high-strength parts such as engine blades, landing gear parts, and aircraft structural parts to ensure the reliability and safety of aviation equipment.
Manufacture key automotive parts such as engine cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, and drive shafts to meet the automotive industry's requirements for high-precision, high-efficiency, and mass production of parts.
Medical equipment
