CNC lathes have ushered in the micrometer era for machining turned parts:
Multi-axis linkage enables the simultaneous machining of complex curved surfaces.
Automatic tool changing systems allow for process switching in 20 seconds.
Online inspection instruments correct dimensional errors in real time.
New coated inserts offer 8 times longer lifespan.
With the widespread adoption of 5G factories in the future, remote monitoring of the turning process will become the new norm.
