How to realize CNC lathe processing?

CNC lathe machining is the technological marvel that makes our life possible in the modern world. What these electromechanical devices produce is itself the production of what almost all of us use. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, where the 'computer' is the key to its function. This is because the actual machining process is computer controlled.

Machining is a technique used to make a piece of material, be it metal, wood or plastic, into a finished product. Products can be as simple as hand tools or as complex as heavy equipment processing equipment. Energy processing involves the manufacture of products for the petroleum and chemical industries. CNC machining is done with three basic types of tools:

1. Traditional equipment: including drilling machines, lathes and milling machines

2. Electrical and chemical equipment: These specialized tools include electron beam, photochemical equipment and ultrasonic equipment

3. Other technologies: Some of these newer devices employ technologies such as laser beams and water jets

The first CNC machines developed in the 1940s can be described as primitive by today's standards. Perforated tape media that provided machining instructions would later be replaced by analog and digital programming.

How to realize computer processing?

With interpretive instructions, CNC lathe machining automatically cuts the required components from the original material. The instructions given by the computer include the feed speed and cutting speed. Some of the more basic machines only operate in two directions, but advanced equipment can move laterally, longitudinally, or even rotationally, which can flip parts and remove material from the other side of the workpiece.

Today, CNC lathe machining equipment meets specific industrial needs, including the machining of heavy equipment. Energy machining is often used in the cutting of metal products that can be very durable and incompatible with standard CNC lathe machining equipment. Today, conventional machines are used more in the development of prototype products and less and less in regular production.
