CNC vertical lathes are mainly used for processing large or heavy parts with large radial dimensions and relatively small axial dimensions, and complex shapes. They are indispensable processing equipment for heavy machinery manufacturers such as steam turbines, heavy motors, mining and metallurgy, etc. It is also commonly used in general machinery factories. The main feature of the CNC vertical lathe is that the main shaft is arranged vertically, and there is a circular worktable for clamping the workpiece, and the main movement is generated by the rotation of the worktable. The working table of the CNC vertical lathe is arranged horizontally to facilitate the clamping of bulky parts.
CNC vertical lathe is more adaptable than other lathes. The use of other machine tools to process parts with complex shapes often requires a lot of workpieces and fixtures. Therefore, their production technology preparation cycle is very long, and the replacement of workpieces requires re-manufacturing of workpieces and fixtures. However, the use of CNC vertical lathes to process complex workpieces requires only a small amount of labor and clamping. Therefore, its production technology preparation time and cost are relatively saved.
