Processing range and other aspects.

Operation mode: CNC Machining uses pre-written programs to control the movement and machining process of the machine tool, while traditional machining lathes require the operator to manually control the movement and machining process of the tool. This means that CNC machining can achieve a higher degree of automation, reduce human intervention, and improve production efficiency.

Precision: CNC machining can achieve higher machining accuracy and reduce human error through precise program control. In contrast, the accuracy of traditional machining lathes is affected by the technical level and experience of the operator, and there may be certain errors.

Efficiency: CNC machining is controlled by computer and can automate machining tasks, thereby improving production efficiency. The efficiency of traditional machining lathes depends on the operator's proficiency and machining complexity.

Flexibility: CNC machining can adapt to different processing needs by changing the program, with high flexibility and adjustability. Traditional machining lathes need to change the tool and adjust the machine tool according to different processing requirements, and the adaptability is relatively low.

Processing range: CNC machining center can process multiple surfaces, and the processing range is more extensive, including box parts, special-shaped parts, plate parts, etc. Traditional machining lathes mainly process rotating bodies, such as cylinders and cones.

Compared with traditional machining lathes, CNC machining has higher accuracy, efficiency, flexibility and a wider processing range, but it needs to write machining programs and have a certain programming ability. Therefore, when selecting the processing method, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific processing needs, equipment conditions and the technical level of the operator.
