We offer comprehensive CNC lathe services, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and skilled operators to deliver top-quality turned parts and components for a wide range of industries.
In the field of modern industrial processing, especially in the hardware processing industry, slitting lathes and CNC lathes are very important instruments, although they are used for cutting processing, they are widely used by production enterprises of various sizes.
But there's a big difference. Due to its multiple significant advantages in terms of performance and cost of use, machine walking has a high share in the similar market.
CNC lathe is an efficient automatic machine tool, its main working principle is to move the workpiece through the turning tool, widely used in the field of linear or oblique cylinder, arc, groove and other complex workpiece processing.
However, because the CNC lathe has only four tool positions, it needs to be stretched when dealing with small, slender and other high-precision workpieces, and the maintenance cost of the machine is high during use.
CNC Swiss lathe, the full name is the central CNC lathe, the old longitudinal lathe in China. The working principle of the slitter lathe is to cut the moving workpiece with a fixed turning tool. It can complete the composite processing of drilling, engraving, boring and other multi-process at one time, because the maximum processing diameter is only 32mm, so it is very popular in the precision shaft processing market.
Cutting lathes originated in Switzerland and were initially used only for the processing and handling of military equipment, but were gradually improved and used in civil society due to increasing market demand. Compared with similar markets in developed Asian countries,
China's machine tool started late, in the 1990s before mainly relying on imported machinery to meet industrial needs, with the increasing technology and market demand gradually expanded.
Many manufacturers of high-strength slitting lathes have emerged in China. Compared with CNC lathes, slitting lathes have substantially improved in function, especially the processing efficiency and accuracy are higher than CNC lathes.
The advantages of slitting lathes are mainly reflected in follow aspects.
The processing process is shortened, and the required process can be completed once the card is loaded, greatly shortening the production time of the workpiece;

Many manufacturers of high-strength slitting lathes have emerged in China. Compared with CNC lathes, slitting lathes have substantially improved in function, especially the processing efficiency and accuracy are higher than CNC lathes.
The advantages of slitting lathes are mainly reflected in three aspects.
First, the processing process is shortened, and the required process can be completed once the card is loaded, greatly shortening the production time of the workpiece;
The second is to improve the processing accuracy, because the number of cards is reduced, unnecessary errors are avoided, and the processing accuracy is effectively improved through the local detection and control of key data;
The third is to reduce production costs, due to the small footprint, less maintenance costs, thereby effectively reducing fixed asset investment and production costs, which is the main reason why the machine is more popular in the market.
Slitter lathe is also a kind of CNC lathe, in China there is also called spindle moving lathe, the difference between it and ordinary CNC lathe is that ordinary CNC machine tool is mobile cutting workpiece,
Slitting lathes are turning tools that move workpieces and fix cutting workpieces. Its advantage is that it is very advantageous for machining workpieces with small diameter, long length and poor tolerances. Ordinary CNC lathes are also called cutting machines when doing small, slender workpieces, and are not competent.
Now the longitudinal lathe and CNC lathe compare which is good, such a problem has attracted the attention of many business friends, have to say, the two have their own similarities and differences.
At this stage, many domestic manufacturers and businesses have introduced industrial processing equipment. Enterprises in different fields have certain requirements for the performance of industrial processing equipment, and CNC lathes are better.
To be honest, everyone has their own advantages. Although the longitudinal drilling lathe has more comprehensive functions and higher accuracy, it can complete the compound processing of turning, milling, drilling, boring and tapping at the same time, but it also has shortcomings.
Only suitable for machining precision parts of 2-38mm shaft. Although the CNC lathe can only turn, it is more suitable for processing large-size shaft products.
Especially in the past two years, it can be found that many manufacturers and brand companies have studied the performance and appearance of these industrial processing equipment, and adopted advanced production and processing technology.
Ensure that the appearance of the equipment can be more beautiful, and further meet the installation needs of businesses in different fields.
After improvement, the machine and CNC lathe in the size is smaller at the same time, so that the weight is lighter, so that the installation and use of a wider range.
