An Introduction to the Basics of CNC Lathes
CNC lathes are computer numerical control machines which automate the turning of material. All the lathes look pretty much the same – large, lathe beds, and rotating heads, but each CNC lathe has its uniqueness. To remove material from a workpiece shape, twirling it against a cutting tool. This type of technology makes it possible to create complicated shapes with a high degree of automation. Anyone willing to work with modern machining processes is required to understand the basic parts of the CNC lathes such as spindle tool holder, control unit, etc.
