The general process of CNC lathe processing parts includes the following steps:

1. Design and planning: At this stage of the CNC lathe, engineers design the parts and plan the machining process according to the design requirements and technical requirements of the parts. This includes determining the processing geometry, size, materials, etc., and selecting appropriate processing methods and process routes.

2. CAD/CAM programming: After the CNC lathe design is completed, engineers will use CAD software to draw the three-dimensional model of the part, and use CAM software to generate CNC machining programs. In CAM programming, tool paths, cutting parameters, cutting sequences, etc. need to be set.

3. Preparation work: Before the actual processing of the CNC lathe, some preparation work is required. This includes selecting appropriate cutting tools, fixtures and workpiece materials, preparing process documents and procedures required for processing, and inspecting and debugging the CNC lathe to ensure normal operation of the equipment.

4. Clamping and positioning: The CNC lathe clamps the workpiece to the workbench of the CNC lathe and performs precise positioning and clamping. The design and installation of the fixture need to ensure the stability and processing accuracy of the workpiece.

5. Processing operation: Start the CNC lathe and perform processing operations according to the pre-written CNC program. The CNC system will automatically control the movement trajectory and processing parameters of the tool to accurately process the workpiece.

6. Quality control: During the CNC lathe processing process, quality control and inspection are required. This includes using measuring tools to conduct dimensional inspections, surface quality inspections, etc. on processed parts to ensure that the parts meet the design requirements.

7. Follow-up processing: After CNC lathe processing is completed, some follow-up processing may be required, such as burr removal, surface cleaning, heat treatment, etc., to ensure that the parts meet the final requirements.

8. Completion and processing: Finally, remove the parts processed by the CNC lathe and perform necessary packaging and storage for subsequent use or sale.

These steps constitute the general process for processing parts on a CNC lathe. Through the automated control and monitoring of the CNC system, an efficient, precise and stable processing process can be achieved and production efficiency can be improved.
