There are some differences between CNC vertical lathes and other lathes, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Processing direction:
CNC vertical lathe is a vertical lathe in which the workpiece is processed in the vertical direction and the tool moves in the horizontal direction.
Other lathes include horizontal lathes and slant-bed lathes, where the workpiece is processed in the horizontal direction and the tool usually moves in the vertical direction.
2. Structural features:
The spindle and workbench of the CNC vertical lathe are arranged vertically, which has a small floor area and is suitable for workshop environments with limited height.
Other lathes have a horizontal spindle and worktable that occupies a relatively large area, but is usually capable of carrying larger workpieces.
3. Processing objects:
CNC vertical lathes are mainly suitable for processing taller workpieces, such as shaft parts, vertically processed workpieces, etc.
Other lathes are suitable for workpieces of different shapes and sizes, including flat surface processing, vertical surface processing, inclined surface processing, etc.
4. Processing method:
During the processing of CNC vertical lathe, the tool moves in the horizontal direction, which is usually suitable for contour processing or hole processing of the workpiece.
The processing methods of other lathes vary depending on the specific type, but they are usually able to meet the processing needs of different directions and forms, such as surface milling, turning, drilling, etc.
5. Applicable industries:
CNC vertical lathes are usually used in automobile manufacturing, aerospace, mold manufacturing and other industries, and are suitable for processing shaft parts, threaded parts, etc.
Other lathes are suitable for the processing needs of different industries, such as metal processing, woodworking, plastic processing, etc., depending on the specific type and configuration.
In general, CNC vertical lathes have certain differences compared to other lathes in terms of processing direction, structural characteristics, and processing objects. The choice of a suitable lathe type needs to be determined based on the specific processing needs and workpiece characteristics.
