CNC lathe – demand

Components made by CNC lathes can be very diverse, including parts for the automotive industry (e.g. shafts, bushings, engine components), the aerospace industry (e.g. structural elements, components for drive systems), the medical industry (e.g. implants, surgical instruments) , energy industry (e.g. turbine elements, gear shafts) and other industries where high precision and repeatability are required.

The greatest demand for CNC lathes occurs in the manufacturing industry, especially where there is a need for a large number of repeatable, high-precision details. Moreover, the automotive, aerospace, medical and energy industries are the main sectors in which CNC lathes work.

Types of CNC lathes

A CNC lathe uses advanced equipment, including numerically controlled lathes, computers for programming, and systems for measuring and quality control. In addition, CNC lathes are equipped with a variety of cutting tools that process the material according to previously programmed parameters.

There are several types of CNC lathes, each of which has its own specific application in the production of precision parts. Here are some main types of CNC lathes and their features:

CNC flatbed lathes (2-axis). Flatbed lathes are the most basic type of CNC lathes, which operate mainly on two axes: the X and Z axes. They are used for turning cylindrical elements such as shafts, sleeves, screws, or fasteners.
CNC inclined lathes (3-axis): Oblique lathes allow the machining of details at different angles, which allows for the production of more complex shapes. In addition to movements along the X and Z axes, these lathes also have movement along the Y axis.
Multi-axis CNC lathes: Multi-axis lathes have the ability to machine workpieces in more than three axes. These can be 4-axis, 5-axis lathes and even more. They allow you to create even more complicated detail geometries. This is particularly useful in the production of precision parts for applications in the aerospace, medical and automotive industries.
CNC lathes with milling: CNC lathes with milling function allow you to perform turning and milling operations on one machine. This allows you to make more complex details that require both turning and milling.
CNC lathes for machining brake discs. Specialized CNC lathes for machining brake discs enable precise machining of car brake discs, ensuring perfectly profiled and balanced discs.

Elements produced on CNC lathes

First of all, types of CNC lathes differ in functionality, capacity and processing capabilities. Additionally, choosing the right type of lathe depends on your specific production needs and the type of workpieces that need to be produced.

Components produced by CNC lathes may include:

embankments,
bushings,
screws,
nuts,
fasteners,
collars,
bearing elements,
sealing rings,
as well as more complex parts such as machine tools for manufacturing.

Finally, these details are often used in a wide range of industrial applications, from machinery manufacturing to medical equipment to vehicles and aerospace structures.
