What are the advantages of CNC vertical lathe compared with ordinary lathe?

CNC vertical lathe, its full name is CNC vertical lathe. It is a kind of lathe. In most cases, the NC programs of NC horizontal lathe and NC vertical lathe can be used with each other. This paper briefly introduces the performance advantages of NC vertical lathe.

CNC vertical lathe refers to the processing core with the spindle in the vertical state. Its structural form is mostly fixed columns. The worktable is rectangular and has no indexing rotation function. It is suitable for processing disc, sleeve and plate parts. It generally has three linear motion coordinate axes, and a rotary table rotating along the horizontal axis can be installed on the worktable to process spiral parts. The NC vertical lathe has the advantages of convenient clamping, easy operation, easy observation of processing, easy debugging program and wide application. However, due to the limitation of column height and tool changing device, too high parts cannot be processed. When processing cavity or concave surface, the chip is not easy to discharge. In serious cases, it will damage the tool, damage the machined surface and affect the smooth progress of processing.

The range of spindle speed and feed speed of NC vertical lathe is larger than that of other types of machine tools, which provides the possibility of improving cutting parameters. In addition, the NC vertical lathe has strong adaptability and is very convenient to replace the processed workpiece, which reduces the downtime of the machine tool, naturally increases the effective processing time and greatly improves the production efficiency.

The key point is that the machining quality of NC vertical lathe is stable and reliable: when machining the same batch of parts, using the same tool and machining program under the same machining conditions, the tool path is exactly the same, the consistency of parts is good, and the quality is stable.
