On the advantages of NC machining center by NC lathe manufacturers

The combination of different CNC operation centers can gain one of the main advantages. For example, drilling, boring, spot facing, tapping and contour milling can be combined into a single NC program operation. In addition, flexibility is enhanced through automatic tool change, the use of trays to minimize idle time, indexing to different faces of parts, rotational motion using additional shafts, and many other time-saving functions. CNC machining center can be equipped with special software to control cutting speed and feed, service life, automatic on-line measurement and damaged tool detection.

The basic form of NC lathe is a machine tool with two axes, vertical X axis and horizontal Z axis. CNC machining centers are more popular and efficient than drills and milling machines, mainly because of their flexibility. CNC milling machine adopts cutting tools operated by CNC system to remove materials from the workpiece. The processing of workpieces comes from the cooperation between design drawings and computer-aided manufacturing software. The final result of the machining process is a specific part or product created using computer CAD software. According to the complexity of raw materials and processed parts, the Machine Mechanic will use various shafts and adjust the cutting speed and feed rate to obtain the best results. The main difference between lathe and milling machine is that the parts rotate around the center line of the machine tool. In addition, the cutting tool is usually fixed and installed in the sliding turret. The cutting tool follows the contour of the programmed tool path. Many modern CNC lathes are not just turning centers; Through a simple milling accessory, the so-called power tool, the milling cutter has its own motor and rotates when the spindle is stationary. More complex designs include eccentric milling, double spindles, double turrets, part transfer, and many other efficiency enhancing functions.
