We know that for mass-produced parts, the use of automated and semi-automated lathes can automate the production process. However, automation has always been a challenge for single-piece, low-volume production parts.
For quite a long time in the past, it has not been able to be resolved satisfactorily. Especially in the machining of parts with complex shapes and high machining accuracy requirements, they have been at a standstill on the road of automation. Although some applications of profiling devices have solved part of it, practice has proved that profiling lathes cannot completely solve this problem.
The emergence of CNC lathes (machine tools) has opened up a broad road for fundamentally solving this problem, so it has become an important development direction in machining.
