A CNC lathe or in other words, Computer Numeric Control lathe is a machine tool that is controlled by a computer. The computer instructs the machine to perform certain operations such as turning, drilling, boring and threading on a workpiece. The CNC ensures for precise and consistent results by using digital control systems to automate the machining process.
CNC lathes are well suited for producing cylindrical parts like shafts and spindles as well as complex shapes that involves multiple machining operations and functions depending on the needs of the industry. They are commonly used in a wide variety of manufacturing and industrial applications to produce parts with efficiency.
No. CNC is a computer numeric controlled technology that is integrated with lathe machine tools to accurately control the lathe using inputs from the computer. A lathe without a CNC would need manual inputs from a human. CNC machine tools are therefore more accurate and increase efficiency.
A person must input programmed instructions into a computer controlled system (CNC) to define the size, shape and position of the required cuts on a workpiece. The CNC lathe machine tool then uses servomotors and other components to move the cutting tool on the workpiece to achieve the desired shape.
