How to Choose a CNC Lathe in 2024

CNC (computer numerical control) lathes are important equipment for various manufacturing enterprises, regardless of their scale and direction. If you are thinking about purchasing a CNC lathe but don't know where to start, then this article is for you. We will analyze the main aspects of choosing such equipment and give practical recommendations.

Before diving into the details of the choice, let's define the term. A CNC lathe is a machine that is used to process various parts, during the processing process, rotating the workpiece around its axis. CNC allows you to program machining operations, making the process more efficient, faster and more accurate than manual machining.

Boeing improved the productivity of its turning operations by 25% after implementing a CNC system. This allowed them to reduce production time and increase aircraft production rates.

Rolls-Royce has used CNC lathes to produce precision parts for its engines. This allowed them to achieve a high standard of quality and reliability of their products.

General Electric has successfully used CNC lathes to produce a variety of parts for its products. This allows them to quickly respond to changes in demand and adapt production processes to new market requirements.

Siemens has reduced the production time and maintenance costs of its lathes thanks to the CNC system. This allowed them to increase production efficiency and improve competitiveness in the market.

Investing in CNC technology not only provides economic benefits for a company, but is also a key factor in increasing its efficiency and competitiveness in modern industry.
