CNC vertical lathes can reduce labor and improve efficiency. A series of measures can be taken to optimize the operating process of CNC vertical lathes. Here are some suggestions:

1. Automation system: The introduction of automation systems, such as automatic tool changing systems, automatic clamping devices, etc., can reduce manual intervention and improve operating efficiency.

2. CNC programming: Ensure the efficient writing of CNC programs and use advanced programming software to minimize manual intervention and improve the accuracy of programming and operation.

3. Remote monitoring: Using remote monitoring technology, machine tool status, cutting parameters, etc. can be monitored in real time, fault diagnosis and adjustment can be performed remotely, and the labor of on-site operators can be reduced.

4. Automatic measurement system: Integrated automatic measurement system can automatically detect the size of workpieces, reduce manual measurement time, and improve processing efficiency.

5. Tool preset: Implement the tool preset function to automatically preset the tool before starting processing, reducing manual operations and improving accuracy.

6. Quick clamping system: Using the quick clamping system, the workpiece can be clamped in a short time, reducing the time for changing workpieces and improving production efficiency.

7. Processing parameter optimization: By optimizing cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate, etc., processing efficiency can be improved and processing time reduced.

8. Human-machine interface optimization: Design an intuitive and easy-to-use human-machine interface to simplify the operating process, reduce training time, and improve operator efficiency.

9. Regular maintenance: Carry out regular machine tool maintenance to ensure the stability and normal operation of the machine tool, reduce the occurrence of failures, and improve production continuity.

10. Employee training: Systematically train operators to improve their proficiency in CNC equipment and reduce operating errors and human intervention.

By comprehensively taking the above measures, manpower input can be effectively reduced and the processing efficiency of CNC vertical lathes can be improved. However, when implementing new technologies or equipment updates, investment costs and equipment adaptability need to be considered to ensure improvement in overall benefits.
