A CNC lathe is a computer-controlled automated machine tool used to process rotationally symmetrical workpieces. It controls the movement of the tool and the machining process through pre-programmed instructions, and can complete complex machining tasks, including turning, drilling, tapping and other operations.

CNC lathes have the following advantages compared with traditional lathes:

1. High precision: CNC lathes are controlled by precision CNC systems, which can achieve high-precision processing and improve the quality and accuracy of processed parts.

2. High efficiency: CNC lathes have the characteristics of high automation and fast processing speed, which can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce manual intervention and processing cycle.

3. Flexibility: CNC lathes can be flexibly adjusted and programmed according to different processing requirements, and are suitable for processing workpieces of various shapes and sizes.

4. High degree of automation: CNC lathes have functions such as automatic tool changing, automatic counting, and automatic shutdown, which reduce manual operations and errors in production.

5. Strong programmability: CNC lathes can control the processing process through pre-written programs, and can realize complex processing paths and processing operations, improving the flexibility and automation of processing.

In general, CNC lathe is a high-precision, high-efficiency, and flexible automated machine tool that is widely used in automobile manufacturing, aerospace, mold processing and other fields. It is an indispensable and important equipment in modern manufacturing.
