What is a CNC turning milling machine?
CNC turning milling machine is the most widely used and covered CNC machine tools, accounting for about 25% of the total number of CNC machine tools. CNC machine tools are mechatronics products that integrate multiple technologies such as machinery, electricity, hydraulics, pneumatics, microelectronics, and information. It is a working mother machine with the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, high automation and high flexibility in mechanical manufacturing equipment. The technical level of CNC machine tools and the percentage of their output and total ownership of metal cutting machine tools is one of the important indicators to measure a country’s national economic development and the overall level of industrial manufacturing. CNC lathe is one of the main varieties of CNC machine tools. It occupies a very important position in CNC machine tools. For decades, it has been widely valued by countries all over the world and has been rapidly developed.

What is the role of a horizontal turning center?
Since the advent of CNC lathes in the 1950s, due to the use of CNC lathes to process complex-shaped parts in single-piece production and small-batch production, it not only improves labor productivity and processing quality, but also shortens the production preparation cycle and reduces the skill of workers. Proficiency requirements. Therefore, it has become an important development direction for realizing technological innovation and technological revolution in single-piece, small-batch production. Countries all over the world are also vigorously developing this new technology. We know that for mass-produced parts, the use of automated and semi-automated lathes can already automate the production process. However, for single-piece, small-batch production parts, achieving automation has always been a problem. For a long period of time in the past, it has always been unable to solve the problem satisfactorily. Especially for parts with complex shapes and high precision requirements, they have been at a standstill on the road to automation. Although some application profiling devices have solved part of it, practice has proved that profiling lathes still cannot completely solve this problem. The emergence of CNC lathes has opened up a broad way to fundamentally solve this problem, so it has become an important development direction in mechanical processing.

What is the difference between a CNC turning center and a manual lathe?
Compared with ordinary lathes, CNC turning center have the following characteristics: ●High processing precision and stable processing quality; ●Multi-coordinate linkage can be carried out, and parts with complex shapes can be processed; ●When machining parts change, generally only need to change the numerical control program, which can save production preparation time; ●The CNC lathe itself has high precision and high rigidity, can choose a favorable processing amount, and has high productivity (generally 3 to 5 times that of ordinary lathes); ●The CNC turning center has a high degree of automation, which can reduce labor intensity; ●Numerical control lathes have higher requirements for the quality of operators and higher technical requirements for maintenance personnel.
