Difference between milling machine and lathe
Technical column 2021-10-29
The diversity of modern manufacturing machines can be overwhelming. This article will focus on the two most common machine categories, and compare the use of milling machines and lathes.

What is a lathe?
A lathe makes cylindrical parts by rotating material on a stationary tool. Using a lathe to make parts is called turning. The raw material is fixed in a high-speed rotating chuck - the rotating axis is called the C-axis. The tool of the lathe is mounted on a tool holder, which can move parallel to the C axis (represented by movement along the Z axis) and perpendicular to the C axis (X axis movement). On the CNC lathe, by controlling the X and Z positions of the tool rest at the same time, it is possible to change the speed of some features and turn complex cylindrical geometry.
More advanced lathes have automatic tool changer, part catcher for serialized production, and power tools that allow certain milling functions. The material needs to be fixed in the chuck, and in some cases, its tailstock needs to be supported. Lathes are good at manufacturing cylindrical parts with very strict tolerances and repeatability. The lathe is not used for parts whose main features are off axis. Parts with off-axis features cannot be turned on a lathe without additional tools. For example, the lathe can only drill holes on the central shaft by installing a drill on the tailstock; In standard turning operations, eccentric holes are usually not possible.

What is a milling machine?
Unlike a lathe, a milling machine holds the material in a fixture and uses a rotating tool to cut it.
There are many different configurations of milling machines, but the most common is to allow the operator to move parts left and right along the X axis, and move parts back and forth along the Y axis. The tool moves up and down along the Z axis. CNC milling machines can simultaneously control movement along these axes to create complex geometry, such as surfaces. This main type of milling machine is called 3-axis milling machine.

FAQ:
Q: Is your company committed to the concept of total quality management?
A: Yes, no matter bending, laser cutting or CNC processing, workers will conduct first sample inspection and random inspection during processing to ensure product quality.
Q: How many inspections should be carried out for a project?
A: Generally speaking, the following four inspections will be carried out for products: incoming inspection, first production inspection, sampling inspection and pre shipment inspection. Among them, multiple sampling inspections will be conducted.
Q: Can you review the drawings with our engineering team and provide a quick estimate of the changes required?
A: Yes, our engineers are quick. If there is anything in the product that needs to be modified, we can give you a new price immediately after you tell us.
