Compared with horizontal lathes, CNC lathes have the following characteristics:

(1), high precision. The performance of the CNC lathe control system is constantly improving, the mechanical structure is constantly improving, and the precision of the machine tool is increasing day by day.

(2), high efficiency. With the application of new tool materials and the improvement of machine tool structure, the machining efficiency, spindle speed and transmission power of CNC lathes are constantly improving.

This greatly shortens the idling time of the new CNC lathe, and its processing efficiency is 2-5 times higher than that of a horizontal lathe. The more complex the shape of the machined parts, the better

It reflects the high-efficiency processing characteristics of CNC lathes.

(3), high flexibility. The CNC lathe has the characteristics of high flexibility and can adapt to the automatic processing of more than 70% of multi-variety and small-batch parts.

(4), high reliability. With the improvement of the performance of the CNC system, the trouble-free time of the CNC machine tool is also increasing rapidly.

(5) Strong technical ability. CNC lathes can be used for both roughing and finishing, and can complete all or most of their processes in one clamping.

(6) Modular design. The manufacture of CNC lathes is mostly designed on the basis of modular principles.

CNC lathe technology is constantly developing, and its development trend is as follows:

With the development of CNC system, machine tool structure and tool material technology, CNC lathes will develop towards high speed, and further increase the spindle speed, tool holder moving speed, indexing and tool changing speed. Processes and procedures will be more complex and centralized, and CNC lathes will develop in the direction of multi-spindle and multi-turret processing. In order to realize long-term unmanned and fully automatic operation, CNC lathes are developing towards full automation. The machining accuracy of machine tools is developing towards a higher direction, and at the same time, CNC lathes are also developing towards simplicity.
