The lathe is mainly a machine tool that turns the rotating workpiece with a turning tool.
Ordinary lathe is a horizontal lathe that can process various types of workpieces such as shaft, disc, ring, etc. It is often used to process the internal and external rotating surface, end face and various internal and external threads of the workpiece, using the corresponding tools and accessories, but also for drilling, reaming, tapping and knurling.
CNC lathe is simply a numerical control machine tool, which is an automatic machine tool with program automation control, the whole system can be very logical to deal with the control code or other symbolic instructions provided by the program, and then they are automatically compiled, and then they are comprehensively compiled. So that the entire operation of the machine can be processed according to the original program.
What is the difference between ordinary lathes and CNC lathes
1. CNC lathes have CNC systems, ordinary machine tools do not
2. CNC lathe processing precision is high, with stable processing quality
3. CNC lathe can carry out multi-coordinate linkage, and can process complex parts
4. The mass production efficiency advantage of CNC lathes is more than 4 times that of ordinary lathes
5. CNC lathe machine tool has a high degree of automation, which can reduce labor intensity
6. CNC lathes have high performance and low noise
7, CNC lathe machining parts change, generally only need to change the numerical control program, can improve work efficiency
8. CNC lathe itself has high accuracy, large rigidity, and can choose favorable processing dosage and high productivity
9. The current production cost of CNC lathes is higher than that of ordinary lathes
