CNC (computer numerical control) turning is a method of turning using computer numerical control technology, which has the following characteristics:

High precision: CNC lathes can accurately control the movement of the tool, with high repeat positioning accuracy, and the processed parts have high dimensional accuracy and good consistency.

High degree of automation: CNC lathes can automatically complete the entire processing process, from clamping the workpiece to processing completion, without manual intervention, reducing manual operation errors.

High processing efficiency: CNC lathes can work continuously and have fast processing speed, especially for batch production of complex parts, the efficiency is much higher than manual operation.

Strong processing flexibility: Through programming, CNC lathes can process parts with complex shapes and precise dimensions, which is suitable for single-piece production and processing of complex parts.

Strong adaptability: CNC lathes can process a variety of materials, such as steel, cast iron, aluminum, plastic, etc., and can process rotating parts of various shapes.

Save materials and energy: Due to the high processing accuracy, the cutting allowance of the material can be reduced and materials can be saved. At the same time, the energy utilization rate of CNC lathes is high.
Improved working conditions: The operator's main task is to program and monitor the operation of the equipment, the labor intensity is reduced, and the working environment is improved.
Short production preparation time: By using CAD/CAM software, the program can be compiled and modified quickly, shortening the production preparation time.
Integrated production: CNC lathes can form a production line with other CNC equipment to realize the automation and integration of the production process.
Good safety: The operator is isolated from the processing area, reducing the occurrence of safety accidents.
Although CNC turning has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages, such as high equipment cost and high technical requirements for operators. However, with the development of technology, these disadvantages are gradually being overcome.
