CNC lathe is a high-efficiency and high-precision processing equipment that can be used to process various types of parts. The following are some common types and techniques for machining parts on CNC lathes:
Shaft parts: CNC lathes can be used to process various types of shaft parts, such as straight shafts, conical shafts, cylindrical shafts, etc. During machining, it is necessary to ensure the dimensional accuracy, positional accuracy, and surface roughness requirements of the shaft.
Disk parts: Disk parts are also a common mechanical component, such as gears, flanges, etc. CNC lathes can process disc parts through CNC turning centers, and surface roughness and accuracy need to be well controlled during processing.
Irregular parts: CNC lathes can process various irregularly shaped parts, such as brackets, forks, etc. These parts require mixed processing from multiple workstations, which is difficult for ordinary machine tools. CNC lathes can complete processing of multiple workstations at once through highly integrated processing methods, improving production efficiency.
Curved parts: CNC lathes can complete the surface of parts composed of complex curves or surfaces. During processing, multiple coordinate axes need to be linked to carry out processes that are difficult for ordinary machine tools to complete. The process of these parts needs to be highly concentrated, with small cumulative errors in part size and high assembly accuracy. CNC lathes can achieve high-precision and high-quality surface machining through multi coordinate linkage.
Flat and perforated parts: CNC lathes can process various flat and perforated parts, such as parts with parallel machining surfaces and consistent angles between machining surfaces that are horizontal. These parts are called flat parts, and each machining surface of these parts is either flat or can be unfolded into a flat surface. Specialized angle forming milling cutters are generally used for processing. It can also process curved disc sleeves and plate parts with more holes for processing.
Variable angle parts: Parts with a continuous variation in the angle between the machining surface and the horizontal plane are called variable angle parts. This type of part requires a high degree of process technology and precise CNC equipment to achieve high-precision and high-quality processing.
In short, CNC lathes can process various types of parts, from simple shaft parts to complex curved parts, achieving high-precision and high-quality processing. During the machining process, it is necessary to pay attention to the requirements of controlling dimensional accuracy, positional accuracy, and surface roughness, while selecting appropriate tools and cutting parameters is also very important.
