Sand casting aluminum is a popular and cost-effective method for producing aluminum parts and components. It involves the creation of a mold made of sand that is filled with molten aluminum to create the desired shape. Sand casting aluminum is capable.

What types of parts are mainly processed by CNC lathes?

CNC lathes are suitable for machining parts with relatively high precision requirements. Due to its high manufacturing accuracy, good rigidity, accurate tool alignment, and convenient size compensation, CNC lathes can process workpieces with high dimensional accuracy requirements.

CNC lathes are suitable for machining parts with complex contour shapes. Any planar curve can be approximated as a straight line or a circular arc. At the same time, it can also handle prime lines as rotating bodies of curves.

CNC lathes are suitable for processing various types of small and medium-sized parts. With the gradual decrease in manufacturing costs of CNC lathes, the situation of large-scale machining of parts has also emerged, both domestically and internationally. When processing small batches and single piece production, if the debugging time of the program can be shortened, that is, the preparation time of external programming and debugging, as well as tooling, such as cutting tools, quantities, and fixtures, can also be chosen.

CNC lathes are suitable for machining parts with small surface roughness. When the material, precision machining allowance, and tool angle of the workpiece and tool are constant, the surface roughness depends on the cutting speed and feed rate. A regular lathe has a constant speed. Different diameters result in different cutting speeds, i.e. different line speeds, while CNC lathes have the function of constant line speed cutting. For surfaces with different surface roughness, choosing a smaller feed rate for surfaces with low roughness and a higher feed rate for surfaces with high roughness has great variability, which is difficult to achieve on ordinary lathes.
