Reasons to Choose CNC Lathes Over Conventional Lathes

图片
  CNC lathes offer many advantages over conventional machines. Five key benefits are outlined below. Double Head CNC Lathe DNL082/DNL082G   1. 99.99% accuracy As less manual labor is involved, the chances of achieving optimal accuracy are pretty high with CNC lathes. This makes these machines a top choice in industries requiring high precision — such as the aerospace, health care, and hospitality sectors. Plus,  CNC lathes  work with almost every type of material. That said, one can never eliminate all errors, manually or otherwise. That’s why we’ve kept that 0.01% aside. 2. Cost efficiency While CNC lathes are a lot costlier than manual lathes, CNC models still offer a range of financial benefits, including: ● Low setup costs — Setup costs are a one-time expenditure when working with CNC lathes. ● Machining costs — With  CNC machines , you recoup every investment by being able to produce 20x more parts than manual lathes allow in a given time frame. ●...

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3-AXIS, 4-AXIS & 5-AXIS MILLING?

图片
  At   LECN , we have a range of state of the art 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis milling machines. As a designer, having an understanding of which type of machine your part will be manufactured on is critical in optimising your design. When designing a CNC machined part, you might not have thought about which type of machine your part will be machined on, but the complexity and type of geometry you can design will be different for different types of machines. The main difference between 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis machining is the complexity of the movement both the workpiece and the cutting tool can move through, relative to each other. The more complex the motion of the two parts, the more complex the geometry of the final machined part can be.   3-AXIS MACHINING The most simple type of machining, where the workpiece is fixed in a single position. Movement of the spindle is available in the X, Y and Z linear directions.     3-axis machining   3-axis ma...
