– Inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft or disc parts. 
– Internal and external conical surfaces of any cone angle of the shaft or disc parts. 
– Machining of complex rotary inner and outer surfaces of the shaft or disc parts, cylindrical and conical threads, etc.
– Grooving, drilling, reaming, and boring of shaft or disc parts.  
– Products that require high-volume lathe machining are suitable for CNC lathe machine. 
– The structure of the product or workpiece should be suitable for precision machining CNC lathe.
– The material of the workpiece is suitable for CNC lathe process. 
– The workpiece’s diameter, length, processing technology, etc., are suitable for CNC lathe machining.

– Inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of the shaft or disc parts. 
– Internal and external conical surfaces of any cone angle of the shaft or disc parts. 
– Machining of complex rotating inner and outer surfaces of the shaft or disc parts, cylindrical and conical threads, etc.
– Grooving, knurling, drilling, reaming and boring of the shaft or disc parts.

– CNC lathe is two-axis control, and CNC machining center is multi axis machining.
– CNC lathe uses a tool holder, and CNC machining center has a tool magazine. The tool holder is an integral part of the CNC lathe. It installs various cutting tools. Its structure directly affects the cutting performance and working efficiency of the lathe. The tool holder is divided into turret type and row tool type. There are more types of tool magazines in CNC machining center than those of tool holders in CNC lathes. There are disc type tool magazine, turntable style / bamboo-hat type tool magazine for CNC machining center, flying saucer type tool magazine, chain type tool magazine, synchronous types, etc. The tool capacity of most tool magazines is more significant than that of CNC lathe tool holders.
– From the process difference, because CNC machining center has its tool magazine, it can automatically change the tool to realize multi-process machining. However, CNC lathe does not come with its tool magazine and can only complete one process.  
– Different from the processing range, the processing range of CNC lathe is smaller than that of CNC machining center. CNC lathe is mainly used to for machining of rotary shaft parts, such as cylinders, cones, etc. CNC machining center can do more, such as boring, milling, cutting, reaming-tapping screws, etc. CNC machining center is divided into three-axis control, four-axis CNC, and five-axis CNC. The more axes, the broader range for CNC machining center processing, such as Box parts, special-shaped parts, plate parts, complex surface, etc.
– In terms of programming, the same CNC systems are used. CNC lathes are somewhat similar to three-axis or four-axis machine centers, but CNC machining centers are more complicated to program.

– Reference to manufacturing standards: Heat treatment of many materials is standardized and can be customized with reference to the standardization of heat treatment.
– Specifying desired hardness: Specify common methods for the heat treatment and case hardening of tool steels. For example, the hardness for SKD61 is usually required to be 50~52hrc; For SKD11, it usually requires a hardness of 58~50hrc.
– Specify heat treatment cycle: according to the use function of the part, when the details of the known required heat treatment are set, these details can be clearly marked together when placing an order.

– Working principle is different. CNC lathe is that the workpiece rotates on the spindle. And the tool is on the tool holder, moving in the XY axis direction. CNC milling machine is the rotation of the milling cutter on the spindle or the feed movement of the milling head, and the workpiece moves in the XYZ axis direction on the worktable. Thereby, the workpiece can obtain the required machining surface.
– Programming is different. Determined by the working mode, CNC lathe programming only needs to input the XY coordinates, and the milling machine needs to input the XYZ coordinates.
– The scope of work is different. The lathe can process shafts, discs, sleeves, outer circles, tapered surfaces, grooves, end faces, drill holes, threads, and others with rotary surface workpieces. Milling machines can mill planes, holes, grooves, toothed parts and various curved surfaces, and so on.

According to the processing drawings provided by the customer, the technicians can analyze the shape, dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, work-piece material, heat treatment requirements, and surface requirements of the parts. And then, they select the tool and determine the positioning and clamping devices, processing methods, and process sequencing. In deciding the CNC lathe processing, they will fully consider the command function of the CNC lathe machine tools, and give full play to the efficiency of turning machine tools, so that the processing route is reasonable, with less time for cutting and short processing hours.

Technicians have all studied through relevant mechanical manufacturing majors, and the longest working time of technicians in the industry is over 30+ years.
