The advantages of automatic lathe processing

The advantages of automatic lathe processing
1, efficiency.
The tool holder moves and processes at the same time during the automatic lathe operation, which is very different from the CNC machining center. CNC machining centers Knife tower, sequential rotation processing, Some of the more high-end multi-axis linked CNC cars can do two parts at the same time. The price is already very high, and it is not a true step of processing.
Automatic lathe machining is like "mass brawl". Computer lathe machining is like "wheel warfare." This metaphor is not very good. You understand the meaning.
For suitable parts such as small shaft nuts, etc., the automatic lathe processing efficiency of 10000 PCS per shift (by 10 hours) is not difficult, which is unimaginable for CNC machining centers.

2, the cost
On the one hand, as mentioned above, the efficiency increase is the cost reduction;
On the other hand, the price of the equipment itself is not high and the depreciation cost is low, so overall, the unit price of automatic lathe processing products is often very cheap. (Of course, the cheap referred to here refers to the quotation criteria of my company. I am not sure if other manufacturers are cheaper.)

3, accuracy
The accuracy of dimensions, surface finish, concentricity, etc., are in fact not inferior to those of CNC machining unless they are not suitable for automatic lathe processing.

4, it is almost set CNC machining, cold heading machine, three advantages of a lathe,
And its product cost seems to be as cheap as cold heading.
This is also the reason why automatic lathe processing has flourished in China in recent years.
