CNC Machining and Lathe processing in the field of machining has its own unique characteristics and scope of application, the main difference is reflected in the following aspects:

1, control mode: CNC machining through the computer program to control the movement of the machine tool and processing process, to achieve automated processing; and the lathe is mainly dependent on manual operation to complete the processing task.

2. Machining accuracy: CNC machining has high machining accuracy, which can reach the micron level, which is suitable for machining parts with high precision requirements; the machining accuracy of lathes is relatively low, and it is mainly suitable for machining parts with general precision requirements.

3. Processing efficiency: CNC machining can automatically complete complex processing tasks without manual intervention, which greatly improves production efficiency; lathes require manual operation, and the processing efficiency is relatively low.

4, processing range: CNC processing range, can complete a variety of shapes and sizes of workpiece processing; lathe is mainly used for processing cylindrical workpiece, processing range is relatively narrow.

5. Cost and application: The cost of CNC Machine Tools is usually higher than that of lathes, but its high-precision and high-efficiency characteristics make it widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other fields; lathes, as the 1 traditional machining equipment, in some The field still has a certain application value, but the market share is gradually replaced by CNC machine tools.
