The old name for CNC lathe is slitter lathe,mainly used for bar material small parts, mass processing.

CNC lathe machining --Full name is Core CNC lathe,which can also be called the main axle box moving CNC automatic lathe, economical combined lathe for turning and milling or longitudinal cutting, belongs to the precision machining equipment.It can simultaneously complete the lathe, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, engraving and other composite processing,mainly used for precision hardware, shaft shaped non - standard parts batch processing.

According to the CNC lathe processing factory, it is usually the feeder that passes the bar material through the hole of the spindle and the spring chuck is clamped automatically.If the part is overhung, the fitting center is needed.If the tail needs to be machined, a second spindle is required.If the fourth and sixth drilling holes need to be processed, the power cutter seat and spindle indexing are needed.

The machine is mainly limited by the diameter of the material, generally the largest type of turning mill compound machine can only process the diameter of 20 mm parts, I only saw in the data can process the diameter of 32 mm turning mill compound machine. As long as the machine can be processed parts, its processing accuracy, processing speed, the other machine are difficult to compare.
