Numerically controlled lathes, also known as CNC lathes, are computer numerically controlled lathes. They are the most widely used CNC machine tools in China, accounting for about 25% of the total. CNC machine tools are mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, microelectronics and information technologies as one of the mechatronics products. It is a working mother machine with the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, high automation and high flexibility in machinery manufacturing equipment.

 

The technical level of CNC machine tools and its percentage in the output and total ownership of metal cutting machine tools are one of the important indicators to measure a country's national economic development and the overall level of industrial manufacturing. NC lathe is one of the main varieties of NC machine tools. It occupies a very important position in NC machine tools. For decades, it has been widely valued and rapidly developed by countries around the world.

CNC lathe and turning center are a kind of high precision and high efficiency automatic machine tool. It has a wide range of processing properties, which can process straight cylinders, slanted cylinders, arcs and various threads. It has various compensation functions such as linear interpolation and circular interpolation, and has played a good economic effect in the mass production of complex parts. Reasonable selection of CNC lathes should follow the following principles:
