CNC Lathes: What Parts They Process
CNC lathes specialize in rotating parts, with different types catering to diverse scenarios:
Slant Bed Lathe (TCK): Processes precision shafts/disks (e.g., automotive transmission shafts, hydraulic valve cores), small-medium complex parts in medium-large batches, and parts with high surface finish requirements (e.g., medical devices, optical components).
Flat Bed Lathe (CK): Handles large/heavy parts (e.g., ship shafts, engineering machinery components), single/small-batch production (suitable for teaching and maintenance workshops), and rough/semi-finishing with low precision requirements.
Vertical Lathe (VTC): Focuses on large-diameter/thin-walled parts (e.g., wind power flanges, aircraft hubs), short-thick parts (e.g., engine flywheels, gear blanks), and high-precision end face machining (e.g., optical lens bases).
Pipe Thread CNC Lathe: Produces pipe threads for the petroleum/chemical industry (e.g., oil well pipes, joints), hydraulic system components (e.g., oil cylinders, pipe joints), and threaded pipe fittings (e.g., fire hydrants, gas valves).
Dual-Spindle CNC Lathe: Enables turn-mill-drill compound machining, allowing some workpieces to be finished in one clamping.
