- Different definitions
Simply speaking, 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 control code or other symbolic instructions, and then automatically compile them, and then fully compile them, so that the entire machine tool can be processed according to the original program.
The operation and monitoring of the control unit of this CNC lathe are all completed in the CNC unit, which is equivalent to the brain of a device. The equipment we usually refer to is mainly the machining center of the CNC lathe.
Ordinary lathes are horizontal lathes that can perform various processes on various types of workpieces such as shafts, disks, and rings. They are often used to process the internal and external rotating surfaces, end faces, and various internal and external threads of workpieces. With the corresponding tools and accessories, they can also be used for drilling, reaming, tapping, and knurling - Different scope
CNC lathes do not only have one CNC system, they also have many different technologies, which are completely based on some different technologies. They cover a wide range, including CNC lathes, CNC milling machines, CNC machining centers, CNC wire cutting and many other types. Such a technology is to use digital program language symbols for conversion, and then process the entire computer-controlled machine tool.
- Different advantages
There are many advantages in using CNC lathes to process products and general machine tools to process products. Using CNC lathes to process products can greatly improve production efficiency. After the entire workpiece is clamped, the already compiled processing program is input.
The entire machine tool can automatically complete the processing process. Relatively speaking, when the processed parts are changed, they usually only need to change a series of CNC programs. Therefore, to some extent, this can greatly shorten the entire processing time. Compared with machine tool processing, it can improve production efficiency the most.
CNC lathes are one of the most widely used CNC machine tools. It is mainly used for cutting of inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft parts or disc parts, inner and outer conical surfaces of arbitrary taper angles, complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads, and can perform grooving, drilling, reaming, reaming and boring, etc.
CNC machine tools automatically process the parts to be processed according to the pre-compiled processing program. We compile the processing route, process parameters, tool motion trajectory, displacement, cutting parameters and auxiliary functions of the parts into a processing program sheet according to the instruction code and program format specified by the CNC machine tool, and then record the contents of this program sheet on the control medium, and then input it into the CNC device of the CNC machine tool, so as to command the machine tool to process the parts.
