CNC Machines

14 Types Of CNC Machines

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tools are automated machine tools that can automatically process parts according to drawing requirements using a program (programming code) control system. It is capable of processing and manufacturing tasks such as drilling, milling and cutting. It is widely used in the field of production and has the qualities of high automation and precision.

CNC lathes are mainly used to process rotationally symmetrical parts. The workpiece material rotates at high speed and the lathe tool performs cutting. Such as shafts, sleeves, discs, etc.

CNC milling machines are capable of processing a variety of materials. In order to process complex shapes and high-precision components, it can accurately adjust the position and movement trajectory of the tool.

CNC drilling machines can accurately position and control the movement of the drill bit to achieve high-precision and high-efficiency drilling operations, including blind holes, through holes, and countersinking.

CNC grinding equipment performs precision grinding of workpieces. In order to achieve micron or even nanometer processing accuracy, they can accurately adjust the position and movement trajectory of the grinding wheel.

CNC EDM (Electric Discharge Machine) uses electric spark discharge to process conductive materials. It can process precision parts and molds such as deep holes, complex cavities, and mold cavities.

CNC wire EDM is a machine tool that uses a thin metal wire as an electrode to cut conductive materials. It is suitable for high-precision cutting of complex contours and shapes.

Machine tools that use laser beam control to cut materials are called CNC laser cutters. Lasers come in three different varieties: gas, liquid, and solid.

CNC plasma cutting machines use high-temperature plasma arcs (generated by high-frequency discharge between the electrode and the workpiece) to melt and blow away metal materials for efficient cutting.

CNC water jet cutting machines are devices that use high-pressure water flow or a mixture of high-pressure water flow and abrasive to cut materials. Water jet cutting is a cold cutting method that does not change the physical properties of the material or produce any harmful gases or dust, making it safe and environmentally friendly.

CNC gear cutting machines are devices specifically designed for precise cutting of gears. Different CNC gear cutting machines, such as hobbing machines for spur and helical gears or profiling machines for internal gears, have different gears to cut, just like different turning tools for milling.

Also included are CNC ultrasonic machining centers, CNC engraving machines, 3D printers, Automatic Tool Changers, etc.
