The processing characteristics of CNC lathes are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. High degree of automation: The processing process of the CNC lathe is automatically completed according to the predetermined program. The operator only needs to perform simple operations such as tool setting, loading and unloading workpieces, and tool replacement, and supervises and ensures the normal operation of the lathe. This high degree of automation not only reduces the physical labor intensity of operators, but also greatly improves work efficiency.

2. High processing accuracy: The positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy of CNC lathes are very high. Therefore, as long as the process design and procedures are correct, the processing accuracy and quality stability of the parts can be guaranteed. At the same time, CNC lathes often use semi-closed-loop or fully-closed-loop position compensation functions, which help to promptly compensate for dimensional errors generated during the machining process and further improve machining accuracy.

3. High production efficiency: CNC lathes can process multiple processing surfaces in one clamping, eliminating many intermediate processes, such as marking, size inspection, etc., thereby reducing auxiliary time and improving production efficiency.

4. Strong adaptability: CNC lathe processing has strong adaptability. When the processing object changes, it only needs to change the program without redesigning the tooling to process different parts. This makes CNC lathes particularly suitable for processing parts with complex shapes.

5. Conducive to modernization of production management: CNC lathe processing of parts can accurately calculate the processing hours of parts, and simplifies inspection and management of tool fixtures and semi-finished products, which is conducive to the modernization of production management.

However, although CNC lathes have many advantages, their equipment costs are high, the initial processing preparation period is long, and maintenance and debugging are complex, requiring personnel with a high technical level to operate. Therefore, when choosing to use a CNC lathe, you need to comprehensively consider its advantages and cost.
