Which product is suitable for CNC lathe machining?

Nowadays, it's difficult to hire workers. If a company wants to improve its production efficiency, it can't do without relying on equipment and technology. The widespread application of CNC lathe machining has greatly improved the processing efficiency of product turning, reduced investment—usually one person can operate several machines—and also reduced the labor intensity of workers. But what kind of products are suitable for CNC lathe machining? What are the characteristics of products processed by CNC lathes? Let's find out below:

Generally, products that require mass processing are suitable for automatic turning. Because automatic turning can fully realize automatic processing of workpieces, using special automatic feeding mechanisms and tooling fixtures. Although the efficiency is very high, many components are designed specifically to greatly improve efficiency. Therefore, once the batch of workpieces is too small, applying automatic turning still requires adjusting the tooling fixtures and automatic feeding mechanisms, which would instead be very troublesome.

The structure of the product or the workpiece should be suitable for automatic feeding processing. When using automatic lathe machining, the structure of the workpiece should be suitable for fully automatic sorting and fully automatic feeding of the workpiece. (For example, whether the workpiece can be fed through automatic feeding mechanisms such as vibrating disks, or whether long shaft parts are suitable for automatic feeding from a silo; if it's really not feasible, manual loading and unloading on the slide rail can be used. In addition, the cross-section of the workpiece should be circular, hexagonal, etc., to be suitable for fully automatic processing; workpieces with more complex shapes are difficult to process fully automatically.)

The workpiece material should be suitable for fully automatic processing. Common materials such as brass, zinc alloy, and ordinary carbon steel have good machinability, cause little damage to tools, and are more suitable for automatic lathe machining. However, parts with poor machinability such as high-speed steel and stainless steel are more difficult to process—tools are severely damaged during processing. Or materials like red copper are troublesome to handle chips during processing, and some other steels have severe work hardening, etc.—all of which are not very suitable for fully automatic lathe machining.
