Before discussing the differences between CNC machine tools and CNC lathes, let's first talk about what a CNC lathe is.
1. CNC lathes can process complex workpieces such as inclined cylinders, arcs, grooves, and worm gears. It has many compensation functions including linear interpolation and circular interpolation, which have achieved good economic effects in complex parts produced in bulk.
2. CNC lathes and turning centers are high-precision and highly efficient automated machine tools. Equipped with a multi station turntable or power turntable, it has a wide range of processing performance. Numerical control machine tools automatically process parts based on pre programmed machining programs.
3. The machining process route, process parameters, tool path, displacement, cutting parameters, and auxiliary functions include tool change, spindle forward and reverse rotation, cutting fluid switch. According to the instruction code and program format specified by the CNC machine tool, the machining program table of the part is compiled into a machining program table, and the contents of the program table are recorded on the controlled medium and input into the CNC device to process the part.
4. Numerical control programming is the entire process from part drawing analysis to control production. The difference between CNC machine tools and ordinary machine tools is that CNC machine tools automatically process parts according to programs, while ordinary machine tools are manually operated by humans. To achieve different processed parts, simply change the automatic program of the control machine. Numerical control machine tools are suitable for processing small batch parts with complex shapes or high precision.
Definition of CNC machine tools and CNC lathes
CNC lathe: CNC lathe is one of the widely used CNC machine tools. It is mainly used for cutting the inner and outer conical surfaces, outer curved surfaces, cylinders, and tapered threads of any cone angle of shaft or disc parts. It can be used for cutting, drilling, reaming, reaming, etc.
Numerical Control Machine Tool: A numerical control machine tool is an automatic machine tool that requires a program to control the system. The control system can be used to control other symbolic instructions or control codes to perform logical processing on programs, represented by encoded numbers, decode programs, and input them into devices through information carriers. Enable machines to move and process parts. It has a wide range of processing capabilities. Can process straight cylinders, oblique cylinders, arcs, and various threads. It has multiple compensation functions including linear interpolation and circular interpolation. After calculation and processing, the device can emit various control signals to control the actions of the machine tool.
