CNC lathe selection principles

Preliminary preparation

Determine the process requirements of typical parts, the batch of workpieces to be processed, and the functions of the CNC lathe should be prepared early. The prerequisite for reasonable selection of CNC lathes is to meet the processing requirements of typical parts.

The process requirements of typical parts are mainly the structural dimensions, processing range and accuracy requirements of the parts. According to the accuracy requirements, that is, the dimensional accuracy, positioning accuracy and surface roughness requirements of the workpiece, the control accuracy of the CNC lathe is selected. Choose based on reliability, which is a guarantee of improving product quality and production efficiency. The reliability of CNC lathes refers to their ability to operate stably for a long time without failure when the lathes perform their functions under specific conditions. That is to say, the mean time between failures is long, and even if a failure occurs, it can be restored and put back into use in a short time. Choose a lathe with reasonable structure, excellent manufacturing and mass production. Generally, the more users there are, the higher the reliability of the CNC system.

Lathe accessories and tools

Lathe accessories, spare parts and their supply capabilities, cutting tools, CNC lathes already in production, and turning are all very important. When choosing a lathe, you need to carefully consider tool and accessory compatibility.

control system

Manufacturers usually choose products from the same manufacturer, or at least purchase control systems from the same manufacturer, which brings greater convenience to maintenance work. Teaching units, since they need students to be well-informed, would be wise to choose different systems and equip them with various simulation software.

Value for money to choose from

Don’t be idle, don’t waste, and don’t choose functions that are irrelevant to your own needs.

Lathe protection

When necessary, the machine can be equipped with a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed protection device and an automatic chip removal device.

In choosingCNC latheWhen turning, the above principles should be taken into consideration.
