The diffferences between CNC walking machine and CNC lahte

CNC walking machine and CNC lathe are two common CNC machine tools, which have obvious differences in their working principle, application field and processing mode. The main differences between the two machine tools are described in detail below:

1. Working principle

CNC walking machine: CNC walking machine is mainly used for metal cutting processing. It uses high-temperature plasma arc cutting or laser cutting technology, through the computer control system to control the cutting parameters, cutting path and cutting speed, to achieve the fast and precise cutting of the metal plate.

CNC lathe: CNC lathe is mainly used for metal material processing and turning operation. It uses the computer control system to control the tool motion shaft, feed shaft, spindle speed and other parameters, to achieve the precision turning of the rotating symmetrical parts of metal materials.

2. Processing objects

CNC walking machine: CNC walking machine is mainly used for plate cutting and processing. It can cut all kinds of metal plates, such as steel plate, aluminum plate, stainless steel plate, as well as other materials, such as plastic, wood, etc. Applicable to metal processing, manufacturing, welding industry and other fields.

CNC lathe: CNC lathe is mainly used for processing rotating symmetrical parts, such as shaft parts, sleeve parts, etc. It is suitable for the machining of various metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, copper, etc.

3. Processing methods

CNC walking machine: CNC walking machine mainly through high temperature plasma arc cutting or laser cutting to realize the cutting of metal plate. Through the computer control system, control the cutting path and speed and cutting parameters, to achieve the precise cutting of the plate.

CNC lathe: CNC lathe mainly through the tool on the rotating workpiece to realize the processing of metal materials. Through the computer control system, control the tool motion shaft, feed shaft and spindle speed parameters, realize the precision turning of the parts.

4. Equipment structure and operation mode

CNC walking machine: CNC walking machine is generally a mechanical structure of a single cutting table, with cutting head, cutting table, transmission system and control system and other components. Operation needs to write cutting procedures, input cutting parameters, and operate through the operation interface of the control system.

CNC lathe: CNC lathe is usually composed of spindle, knife frame, feed shaft and control system and other parts. It is necessary to write turning program, input turning parameters, and operate through the operation interface of the control system.

In general, the CNC walking machine is mainly used for cutting sheet metal, using high temperature plasma arc cutting or laser cutting technology; the CNC lathe is mainly used for processing and turning symmetrical parts of metal materials. The selection of suitable CNC machine tools should be weighed according to the processing object, processing method and the required machining accuracy and other factors, and comprehensively consider the production demand and cost benefit.
