How many types of CNC lathes are there?

According to the mechanical structure of CNC lathes: they are generally divided into two types: vertical CNC lathes and horizontal CNC lathes.

1) Vertical lathes are divided into upright lathes and inverted lathes, and inverted lathes and upright lathes are combined;

2) Horizontal lathes have two types: flat bed and inclined bed.

3) According to the different guide rails, there are sliding hard rail lathes and rolling linear rail lathes.

4) According to the number of spindles and turrets, there are single spindle and single turret, double spindle and single turret, double spindle and double turret, etc.;

5) According to the spindle The structure of the centering machine tool is derived (the spindle moves in the Z direction).

6) Now, the milling function is also added to the lathe, becoming a turning and milling compound center (with turning, milling, drilling, tapping , hinge and other functions).

7) According to the number of axes in the lathe: including X-axis and Z-axis lathes, including X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis lathes, and other multi-axis lathes.

As for controllers, there are many, commonly used Japanese FANUC, Guangzhou CNC, Huazhong CNC, KND, German Siemens, etc.
