2. Tool difference: CNC machining centers have tool magazines, and CNC CNC lathes use tool holders. There are more types of tool magazines in CNC machining centers than those of CNC lathes. There are disc type, bucket hat type, chain type, flying saucer type, synchronous type, etc. The tool capacity of most tool magazines is higher than that of CNC lathe tools. The tool capacity of the rack is large.
3. Different processing ranges: The processing range of CNC machining centers is larger than that of CNC lathes. CNC CNC lathes are mainly used to process rotary parts.
4. Programming difference: CNC machining center and CNC lathe programming are similar in some aspects, but CNC machining center programming is more complicated.
Advantages of CNC:
1. The number of tooling is greatly reduced, and complex tooling is not required for processing parts with complex shapes. If you want to change the shape and size of the part, you only need to modify the part processing program, which is suitable for new product development and modification;
2. The processing quality is stable, the processing precision is high, and the repeatability is high, which can meet the processing requirements of aircraft;
3. It can process complex profiles that are difficult to process by conventional methods, and even process some unobservable processing parts.
Advantages of CNC lathes:
1. High machining accuracy and stable machining quality;
2. It can carry out multi-coordinate linkage, and can process parts with complex shapes;
3. When the machining parts are changed, generally only the NC program needs to be changed, which can save production preparation time.
