CNC lathe is one of the widely used CNC machine tools. It is mainly used for cutting the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft or disc parts, inner and outer conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating inner and outer surfaces, cylindrical and conical threads, and can perform groove cutting, drilling, expanding, reaming, and boring.
CNC machine tools automatically process the processed parts according to a pre programmed processing program. We write the processing process 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. The content of this program sheet is then recorded on the control medium and inputted into the CNC device of the CNC machine tool to command the machine tool to process the parts.
CNC machine tool is an abbreviation for digital control machine tool, which is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. This control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, and decode them to make the machine move and process parts.
Compared with ordinary machine tools, CNC machine tools have the following characteristics:
High machining accuracy and stable machining quality;
Capable of multi coordinate linkage and processing complex shaped parts;
When changing the processing parts, generally only the CNC program needs to be changed, which can save production preparation time;
The machine tool itself has high accuracy and rigidity, and can choose favorable processing quantities, resulting in high productivity (usually 3-5 times that of ordinary machine tools);
High degree of automation of machine tools can reduce labor intensity;
The quality requirements for operators are high, and the technical requirements for maintenance personnel are higher.
